What side would you choose? For me it would be as follows:
O’Hara Brayford Nartey Buxton Daniel O’Toole Quinn Fraser Edwards Akins Boyce
Maybe by Saturday it will look different however.

As it stands at the minute ,I think that is spot on . Just depends if we sign anybody this week who is better than the players we already have .

that 11 from mikeyboy leaves the following on the bench/not in the squad
Bywater Hawkins Wallace Hutchinson Anderson Hart Morley Templeton (injured) Fox (injured) Sbarra Vale
realistically only Sbarra, Wallace and Hutchinson could be said to be 1st team players, so it does look like we are a bit short on numbers. unless the kids are really promising
you'd have to think though that we would be getting a couple of loans in before we start. striker, a winger and cover at right back or centre half for me is needed

If Edwards has been signed to replace Allen he has to play there for me. So a middle 3 of Quinn Fraser Edwards
The back 4 worries me. Brayford and Bucko have to play. If Nartey has been signed to replace Fadz then I guess he has to play although doesn’t O’Toole play there? O’Toole on experience? At left back without being critical I just am unconvinced. Is Reece ready? Doesn’t Daniel have a career of playing in many positions including left side up front ? So a back 4 :
Brayford O’Toole (or Nartey) Buxton Hutchinson (or Daniel)
Up front:
Akins Boyce Daniel or Sbarra
So:
O’Hara Brayford O’Toole (or Nartey) Buxton Hutchinson (or Daniel) Quinn Fraser Edwards Akins Boyce Daniel or Sbarra
I suspect mikey's side will be nearer but COYB!

I think Mikey's eleven is our best 11. Whether they're in their best positions is another thing but I suspect that will be our strategy.
Get our strongest 11 on the pitch and trust them to do the job.
We're lacking a bit of natural width especially as Temps is out and would likely rely on The Bray and Daniel to bomb on.
Would be nice to see us bring in a fast and tricky winger but I still think that starting 11 would see us do quite well.
How cool is that proper football is back.
Buzzing. Nervous but buzzing.

Have to admit the bench looks very weak
We do need 2 or 3 more quality players

O’Toole has been a midfield player throughout his career Inside Left, but it’s Nigel’s idea to move him into central defence like his dad did with Dave Mackay.

Many players in the squad who can play in different positions - versatility is the key in a small squad. I’m not worried.

I'm Worried We need more additions and quick. A few injuries and we are screwed.

We all know we need a few more additions bartonyellow. I'm sure the one person who knows this more than anyone else is Nigel Clough. Don't panic one more would be nice before Saturday but we are much better than this time last year and we have until September 2nd to finalise our squad. Just sit back relax and enjoy I'm sure everything will be just fine.

I’d be happy with Buxton or O’Toole or both at the back. Buxton is nearing legend status at The Brewers and I decide that accolade. I hold the book of legends and the power within. 😉

I've got a feeling Nartey may start the season on the bench from listening to NC's interview today.
Sounds like he's close but we may not risk it.
Would that see a pairing or Jake and JJOT giving us experienced heads to get through the first game?
If that's the case will it be Joe Sbarra who come into the forward line and a real 4-3-3 or do we go solid and bring Wallace in and go 4-5-1.
We really do need another one or two attacking options in before the window closes.
We'll get them.

Rest of the team picks itself.

Might be a double bluff from the manager but he did hint the other day that the new lad might only make the bench if he signed today.
