OTB Football · THE GREEN SCENE: Coleman and Collins miss out, Kitching and Elding in + Vata’s return · 17 Sep 2026 podcast

Probably more so for off the pitch reasons than on the pitch reasons.

No, um he said hopefully he finds a new club, same with Robbie Brady.

Hopefully he finds a new club and then he can come back to kinda being called up.

But uh it was it was quite literally a one word answer when I asked is he gonna be call back home to the squads and he finds a new club?

And that word was sure.

Yeah.

So um

I don't know whether you want to read too confidently into that, but uh I don't know if I took a load of confidence from that sure.

Yeah, uh again it's probably the first name that you're drawn to when this comes out when you find that Nathan Collins, James Command aren't there.

Obviously Joe Bagan is a new one and Owen Elding, as we know, is called up for the first time competitively to play for Ireland, but

Yeah, y like I'd be lying if I said I've seen a lot of Liam Kitchen lads.

I I saw him once or twice for Coventry last year in the hunt for promotion.

And when I heard the papers had been sorta for him to move over, which had been in the running for a long time

I don't know if you really thought he'd come into the squad straight away.

But it is interesting when I asked Hamer about him, he said he's a good character, he can play as on the left hand side of a back three and he's a leader.

And that is something that Hamer has consistently said when calling players up to squad he wants leaders and he wants characters and use those exact two words to reference Liam Kitching.

Now obviously Kitchen got Coventry promoted last season and now he's gone from the club and look that doesn't seem to be going great for Coventry's defence that he isn't there anymore.

But this is a player who can play on the left side of a back three, can fill in in left back as well if needed.

obviously Joe Began is another player who can do that as well.

Um but really interesting to note that he that he did note his qualities as a leader in a squad when we are missing probably our our two biggest leaders and it's gonna fall onto a back three where John Egan of course is a captain and Darrell Shea is a captain.
