On Tuesday morning, Carla Ward will name her next Republic of Ireland squad for April's assignments.
The main task will be to try and pick up six points from a Women's Nations League double-header against Greece but it is also an opportunity to try and dissipate any frustration that understandably would have lingered after the chastening 4-0 defeat in Slovenia last month.
While former international Rachel Graham expects many of the usual suspects to be included in the squad named this week, the Shelbourne midfielder is intrigued to see if any emerging talents make it but also if a couple of players - versatile forward Marissa Sheva and goalkeeper Grace Moloney - with uncertain club situations will be drafted in again.
"I think (Ward) has a big call to make on the two girls now who don't have clubs as far as I'm aware - Sheva and Moloney," Graham said on the RTÉ Soccer Podcast.
"We kind of gave them a bit of grace in the last camp because it was fairly new but they're a long time now without a club, so I think that's going to be a big decision for her whether she brings those two in."
As for new faces, Graham pointed out that some SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division players are in the wider provisional squad, including three of her Shelbourne team-mates, and backed Aoibheann Clancy to be a potential future international, having earned a senior call-up as a teenager in Vera Pauw's time.
"I think Aoibheann Clancy has been excellent for us (Shelbourne) in our few games. She definitely has the athleticism, the talent, she has all the physique, everything to be an international player but maybe hasn't got the chance," said Graham of the 21-year-old Limerick native who joined Shels from Wexford ahead of the current season.
"She was in once or twice with Vera and she's been in the development squad so she's obviously impressed there as well.
"But even if they don't get to the full squad, it could be a case of just bring them into one or two training sessions during the week and just show them the level.
"If it is a case they go in and think, 'I'm really playing well in my league, I'm playing well for Shels but I'm probably not at this level', and it could be a case of do a bit extra or train with a boys team once a week just to expose them to that because we're screaming for players to be given a chance.
"So if it's a case that they go in and they're just not at the level, it's just let them know and if there's anything else they can do."
