If the season started tomorrow with everyone fully fit...

What are your starting 11's? Be interested to see how different everyone's teams are, especially when many believe we have a squad destined for a relegation scrap :shock: :lol:

I happen to think we have a very strong squad, with a healthy mix of experience and youth.
Just curious what everyone's 11 would be? Please share, I'd be delighted to see how different or similar the teams are.

For the current formation which Mick refuses to move away from:-
Phillips
Sang, McGuiness, Morrison, Nelson, Bagan
Bacuna, Pack
Giles, Moore, Murphy

I would personally play a 4-2-3-1 of:-
Phillips
NG, Morrison, Nelson, Bagan
Pack, Ralls
Giles, Tomlin, Murphy
Moore.

The reason I’ve gone for Bacuna in the first team is because he can actually create something and has the mobility. Otherwise that team is really lacking any creativity in the midfield two. Vaulks and Ralls are hard workers but they often struggle to make a straight forward pass, especially Vaulks.

Yes I was thinking that but hesitated for the reason that you’ve stated.

I'm not convinced on Bagan, we need a left back/left wingback, we haven't adequately replaced Bennet have we?

In best spell we had Bennet and Murphy linked really well!

A midfield with any two from Pack, Vaulkes and Bacuna really isn't going places in the championship. Very dependent, again, on Morrison, and Smithies, to keep ball out of our own net and Moore to put it in the oppositions. With either of those two out we are up against it.

GK Phillips

RWB Perry
CB Mozza
CB Flint
CB Nels
LWB Giles (I would start him over Bagan at LWB to start the season)

CM Ralls
CM Pack

CAM Tomlin
CAM Colwill
ST Keiffer

Subs:
Smithies / McGuiness / Brown / Bagan / Sang / Wintle / Murphy / Collins / Mark Harris / Vassell

SUSPENDED: Vaulks
COVID: Bacuna

Mick will likley start Bagan at LWB and Tomlin will be on the bench at best (if he's lucky).
