Re: Season ahead??
 

agree about mumbongo though not about savin, both good keepers but to me trafford has the edge.

Re: Season ahead??
 

Savin

Nottingham Sykes Burgess (not Dave)


Conneely Butcher



Rogers Pell Pritchard


Bishop Umbongo

Re: Season ahead??
 

Are you assuming Charles is on his way mate ?

Re: Season ahead??
 

Nah, I've benched him ��

Re: Season ahead??
 

I'd go :
Savin

Nottingham, Sykes, Burgess, Rodgers

Pritchard, Butcher, Conneely, McConville (Morgan/Pell in place of Seamus till he's fit)

Bishop, Charles

Re: Season ahead??
 

Macca and Jonno as impact subs mate?

:) :)

Re: Season ahead??
 

Yes matey. I'm not a huge fan of Jonno, hope he can prove me wrong though. Sean is still an important player for us and his character round the club is massive - but pitchside I'm going for balance first.

Umbongo could be huge for us if he gets off to a good start so I'm starting him above Dion - doubt Coley will though

Re: Season ahead??
 

From where we were sat Jonno was our best - and hungriest- player on Saturday - especially 2nd half. I was pleasantly surprised and really hope he can keep it up.

Re: Season ahead??
 

That’s why I started with my opening phrase…….
Quote.
“Assuming that all players are fully fit, my choice of formation and players would be……..”
I think that Valarian was after our ideas of our preferred choice of players/squad for the early part of the season with the players/squad that we have available now. Not just to pick a team for Saturday v Wycombe.
I was aware that Seamus is not fully fit and that he would not be available for Saturday.

Valarian’s title for this post is:
“Season ahead??” Not: Selection for first match.

Choirboy - my good friend - you are spot on ;)

Hope to be seeing you on the 14th...... it has been a while :eek:

:) :) :)

Re: Season ahead??
 

Agree about Jonno mate, had some very good games in his first spell, but since then, flattered to deceive........

We shall have to wait and see :)

Re: Season ahead??
 

Good post Choirboy I think after last season the expectation bar among fans has risen, very understandable but with fans back in stadiums thank the lord it will along with some tough sides being relegated among them Wycombe be a tough league. Coley has brought in a lot of signings this Summer a big emphasis on younger players mainly looking to the future, but also looking at playing some of them I hope. Less loannees so far which I like but with players with the pedigree of Hardy and Mumbongo the pressure on the front two will be to deliver the goals. Nobody apart from Barclay has left yet but a while in the transfer window to go I will be very surprised if at least one doesn't go hopefully not but it looks on paper like a well balanced squad and hopefully it will be used towards a successful season.

Re: Season ahead??
 

My choice would be... (reckon Coley will go 5-3-2 with Trafford in goal, Pell or O'Sullivan for Conneely at start then poss for Butcher)

Savin
Rodgers Notts Sykes Burgess
Conneely Butcher
Pritchard Charles McConville
Bishop

Subs - Trafford, Procter, O'Sullivan, Pell, Leigh, Morgan, Mumbongo

Re: Season ahead??
 

my choice is Trafford, rodgers. nottingham,sykes,burgess, pell,butcher, pritchard,bishop,munbongo,charles, have left out conneely only cos i dont think he will be ready,

Season upon us......
 

How do we think/feel after the first(ish)third of the season???
