As it stands who would be your first 11 plus subs for our 1st game of the season without any players singing or leaving to what we have already!? Mine would be

Marshall

Otsemobor Shackell Dublin Lappin

Croft Brellier Etuhu Huckerby

Cureton Strihavka

subs: Gilks, Doherty, Drury, Safri, Martin

if you ask me on paper thats a very strong team with good backup with the likes of hughes, chadwick, brown, fotheringham not making the 16!

what your opinion??

                Marshall

Otsemobor Dublin Shackell Drury

         Safri  Etuhu  Brellier

<---------Huckerby--------->

          Strihavka Cureton

 

Subs: Gilks, Docherty, Lappin, Chadwick, Martin

 

Just leave Hucks in a floating role so he can go everywhere he wants, I think this way gives him the freedom he needs.

He would also be very difficult for defenders to pick up.

What about if they do sing? Are they then dropped? [;)]

For me Dublin cant be a regular starter due to his age,  and even more so at teh back where it is all about partnership, and we had too many changes in that last season (max of 3 x 5 game runs of the same central partnership?).  Likewise Hux as a left midfielder has to be abandoned,  it has been found out as a tactic. 

For me its either

                     Marshall

Otsemboor   Shackell   Doc   Drury

                Brellier     Safri

   Chadwick         Huckerby     Lappin                   

                      Strihavka

or

Marshall

Ostemboor    Shax  Doc   Drury

Chadwick    Etuhu   Safri     Lappin

                              Huckerby

                        Strihavka

Subs

Gilks,  Dublin, Brellier, Croft Cureton 

 

or

                             Marshall

                      Doc   Shax   Drury

Ostemboor                                    Lappin

                    Brellier        Safri

                                Hux

                          Strihavka   Cureton

Subs  Gilks,  Chadwick, Dublin, Croft, Martin  

 

All feel solid, better on the bench than we have had last year (with some flexibility too), uses players in pretty much their best positions;  not sure which one I prefer though,  probably avoid the middle as it could isolate the striker but it is a small variation on 4-4-2 which the players are most comfortable with;  probably the first is a slight preference over the third at the mo..

Looks like a good line up to me Dan.
