Our current Best XI

[Sothall_Blade]

If nobody signs and nobody leaves, who would you start the season with?

Howard
Lowton, Maguire, Collins, Williams
Flynn, Doyle, McAllister, Quinn
Creswell, Philliskirk

Subs:- Long, Barry, Kennedy, Montgomery, Whitehouse, Tonne, Ironside

Decent defence. Not enough creativity or firepower. Inexperienced bench.

 

[MidgetBlade]

Quinn in to centre for McAllister and Tonne on left.

 

[Kenilworth]

Creswell, Philliskirk

Subs:- Long, Barry, Kennedy, Montgomery, Whitehouse, Tonne, Ironside

Decent defence. Not enough creativity or firepower. Inexperienced bench.

Would achieve a few 0-0s but would be relegated by Easter and the division's lowest scorers.

 

[Sothall_Blade]

Howard
McMahon, Maguire, Collins, Hill
Flynn, Doyle, McDonald, Quinn
Creswell, Miller

Subs:- Long, Westlake, Williams, Montgomery, Tonne, Porter, Cofie

Much happier with this team.
Can we start the season now as I reckon this will be as good as it gets.
I wonder whether we're within the fair play budget or not? Sales to come soon?

 

[s35blade]

Howard
mcmahon maguire collins hill
flynn, doyle, mcdonald, quinn
porter miller

subs- long westlake tonne monty cresswell mcallister cofie

definitely better than most of your league one teams walsall, oldham, brentfird etc etc
however is it better than the recently relegated teams and the better league one teams? Im not 100% sure

 

[metalblade]

Fookin hell............ easily pleased if you all think that line up is any good.

 

[mattbianco1]

Howard
mcmahon/Westlake maguire collins hill LJF
flynn McMahon/Westlake, doyle, mcdonald, quinn
porter Cresswell Cofie miller

Ammended to how i'd line up

 

[SotonBlade]

Howard
McMahon Collins Maguire LJF
NEW WINGER Doyle MacDonald NEW WINGER
Cresswell Cofie

Think it's imperative we get two decent out and out wingers in. Possibly another loan striker (Schlupp) as well

 

[metalblade]

.................new keeper
McMahon Collins Maguire LJF
new winger Doyle McD ...new winger
..............new striker Cofie

I reckon Danny might try Westlake at right midfield but still got areas where we are weak.

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

Whilst we don't know whether McMahon or Westlake may be pencilled on for right mid, we're still short on creativity and presuming Squinny leaves, we're currently relying on the likes of Flynn and Tonne to kick on from what they've done so far.

Defensively, I think we're covered and could arguably survive Harry going if that's what happens. It will be interesting to see where he goes with the strikers, maybe he's going to go for more of the 4-3-3 type formation, who knows.

I guess it still revolves around Monty / Squinny leaving and that would undoubtedly give him chance to bring in one or two more quality additions but overall, I think he's doing OK given the constraints he's working to. He's certainly going for the right type of player.

 

[Torrix1889]

I think those line-ups will change again over the next 10-days, fully expect either Maguire or Quinn or possibly even both to go before the season starts...

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

Howard
McMahon Maguire Collins Hill
Westlake McDonald Doyle Quinn
Cofie Cresswell

Long, Williams, Whitehouse/Montgomery, Flynn, Tonne, Porter, Miller

I would start with that and see how we get on. If we need to tinker a little we can introduce the likes of Whitehouse and Miller to the start line up for a bit more energy. I suspect DW will play Westlake on the right of midfield as he used to play there before Walsall started playing him at right back. He and McMahon can overlap one another when we're attacking.....I think that may be the plan.

That doesnt look too bad a lineup to me and gives us a couple of options from the bench. I still think we need another striker though as we would be in a similar position to the end of last season if anyone gets a knock or suspension.
