What would be your starting 11 tomorrow. All in the usual 5.3.2 format please (that means you YFDan!)...

I've seen no pre-season so will leave this for the rest of you to sort out the midfield / defence. In the mean time, i'd like to see Yemi and Twigg start.

Turley
Anaclet, Corcoran, Quinn, Day, Jeannin
Hutchinson, Standing, Trainer
Duffy, Odubade.

Bench: Tardiff, Gnohere, Foster, Ledgister, Twigg.

If Quinn isn't fit, then Foster at the back, add Marvellous to bench.
If Yem isn't fit, then Twigg, and add Marvellous to bench.

I wouldn't choose 3-5-2 but we're stuck with it so here goes.

Turley
Corcoran, Quinn, Wilmott
Anaclet, Hutchinson, Standing, Trainer, Jeannin
Odubade, Duffy

Subs: Tardif, Foster, Ledgister, Day and Robinson

I really wanted to include Pettifer and Twigg on the bench but thought these gave better balance.

I think It might end up being Gnohere on the bench (or possibly starting) with Foster missing out though.

I don't see that team working in a 3-5-2 formation though.

Anyway:

Turley
Corcoron Quinn Foster
Anaclet Pettefer Hutchinson Trainer Jeannin

That team could work in any formation it liked against FGR :lol:

Haven't seen any preseason, so the midfield's a bit speculative.

Tardiff (Billy winds me up sooooooo much)

Foster Day Quinn Corky Jeannin

Hutchinson Trainer Standing

Duffy Odubade


Turley, Ledgister, Pettefer, Anaclet, Twigg

I know that Anaclet will be at RB and I really do hope he proves me wrong this season.

Blimey GY, you prefer Twigg over Duffy on the evidence of the Brum game. I've not seen much of Twigg but a mate who has seen most of the pre season games said he has spotted nothing to show that he is any good. Time will tell. I hope both of them hit the 20 goal mark this season.

Just caught up with Wilmott being injured (I thought he was playing again, or did I dream that?) so I'll replace him with Day and bring Gnohere on to the bench.

And what about Jim's choice. He seems to like Gnohere &amp Day.
No one on here thinks Gnohere should start.
Anyway only 4 and a half hours to wait. Bring it on.
