I wish we’d start with:

Marshall

Byrne - Te Wierik – Clarke - Buchanan

Bird – Shinnie

Whittaker – Sibley – Knight

Marriott

 

… but I think we’re going to be set up like this:

Marshall

Te Wierik – Evans – Clarke

Byrne – Knight – Bird – Shinnie – Buchanan

Sibley – Marriott

Expect

                Marshall

Byrne MTW Evans Clarke Forsyth

            Holmes Bird Rooney

                              Sibley

               Marriott

Roos will be hard done by to be dropped, and whilst I mostly believe if you perform well you should keep the shirt, in his case we know his weaknesses and he is only a back up.  Also I think if we can get the first choice keeper and defenders as familiar as possible before October it would be advantageous. 

Playing 3 at the back we really don't need 2 holding midfielders, be better off playing a diamond with Bird deep, and Holmes and Knight adding a bit more forward thinking ahead of them.

I'd like

            Marshall

Byrne MTW Clarke Buchanan

           Rooney Bird

    Holmes Sibley Knight

              Marriott

That's the formation we are familiar with and most likely to run with this season, so lets get started with it, and new players can slot in as and when.

Holmes and Rooney big doubts

I'm expecting 3/5 at the back as we don't have anymore wingers than we did against Barrow.

                           Marshall

                    MTW, Evans, Clarke

          Byrne, Bird, Rooney, Buchanan

                      Sibley        Knight

                             Marriott

Shinnie to replace Rooney if latter is not fit. I'm not a fan of this, too many kids involved for such a huge tactical change and demands. Rooney's influence becomes even more important if we line up with three at the back.

I’d be happy with a draw today considering how we’re going into the game. 

Marshall; Dutch, Evans, Clarke; Byrne, Knight, Bird, Shinnie, Buchanan; Sibley, Marriott. 

I don’t mind the team. I think it gives us a good foundation, although no doubt that chances will be at a premium.

Yes we will all be surprised if we create much.  Good personalities in the team. I'm hoping we're solid, fit enough and that new signings show promise.  Anyone know much about Reading? Think they're largely unchanged and their pacy wingers did pose problems for us last year.

                     Rooney

Marriott Whittaker waggy Sibbo

              Marshall   Roos

Fozzy         Dutch Mike       Bird

                      Clarke (you know it makes sense)

In the spirit of the current forum trend of starting threads about  playing players hopelessly out of position here’s mine.

I’ll be pretty peed off if Cocu the clown doesn’t pick at least half the team out of position!

I doesn't feel like the season is starting soon. Strange feeling and I'm certainly not super excited.

Anyone else ?

yeah exactly the same,  I'd be buzzing right now but just struggling to get excited.

Glad you agree with my proposal for Marshall as midfield enforcer ?

No Wisdom up front after his excellent cameo v Barrow? Leave it to the professionals, will you? ?
