I'd leave out Bamba and definitely leave out Madine.

So Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Manga, Bennett, Mendez-Laing, Bacuna, Reid, Ralls, Murphy, Zohore.

similar to everyone else really other than Madine (Beyond me how anyone can think Madine offers us more than Zohore)

However, next season is an extra 3 months. Another pre season for a 32 full back who might not continue his form. He's always been solid for us but Peltiers pace gets slower every season, I would honestly play Richards, I also think he did a good job when he came on against Man U...just to explain my choice.

Etheridge

Bennett
Manga
Morrison
Richards

Ralls
Paterson

Murphy
Reid
Mendez-Laing
Zohore

I had him in midfield...

Or are you seriously suggesting he's a better championship striker than Zohore :lol: :lol:

10 goals in 32 games many of which were not even starts up front yes I would suggest he is. Also he would be the best partner for Reid up front. In fact I think he would allow Reid to score over 20 goals for us whereas Zohore and Reid up top together would not be as productive.

Finally, someone who knows what they’re talking about.

Manga
Morrison
Peltier

NML
Bacuna
Ralls
Murphy

Reid
Zohore

Subs:
Smithies, Richards, Bamba, Patterson, Ward, Hoillett, Harris (is it six subs in the championship can't remember)

Honestly, I think that side is good enough to have a decent crack at the league.

A lot of flexibility in that subs bench - Bamba can play as a holding midfielder if required, Jazz can also play in the middle of the pitch or defence, Harris could play as a striker if needed, Patterson can play pretty much anywhere and bring something to the role at this level - I think even Hoilett has played wingback in the past - basically there is a lot of options to play with.

Add a top quality centre mid (or two) and a fox in the box and I think we could really do some serious damage.

Jesus wept that would be fun! Maybe swap Peltier for Bamba in defence and then play Bamba for Damour as a holding midfield destroyer :ayatollah:
