Spot on. That said, I think there will be a first choice, and it will probably be (working from right to left):[b said:Quote[/b] (overseas shrimper @ July 21 2005,07:12)]As for the poll... absolutely impossible call. I think it'll have to be rotated according to opposition... if the players can operate in such a way.
I never ever thought Husbands was promising, the friendly where everyone started raving about him when he used his pace to obtain 6/7 1-on-1's with the keeper, he did not hit the target once, i knew he was $%&*.[b said:Quote[/b] (wiggy @ July 21 2005,08:52)]These are only friendlies though, very misleading, i remember when Drewe Broughton and Michael Husbands looked the business and we thought we were on to something. Easy to impress [as Gillingham were] when the opposition are at half pace and let you run!
I still cannot vote as I'm going to stand by last seasons success and would play:[b said:Quote[/b] (Shrimper2thecore @ July 20 2005,23:30)]I said they did not have to be played in the order they were written down, just voting for the four as a principle.
That's a bold move up front. Bet you had endless hours trying to pick our front two?[b said:Quote[/b] (Einstein @ July 21 2005,11:10)] Gray Eastwood
I was more trying to just show that Cole would definitely be on the left wing as Petts was playing there last year[b said:Quote[/b] (overseas shrimper @ July 21 2005,10:23)]That's a bold move up front.

You think Tilly will leave out Maher?? Dream on, Maher is club captain and was also nominated in the PFA league 2 team of last season.[b said:Quote[/b] (Song of the South Upper @ July 21 2005,10:49)]Right to left:
Petts - Smith - Bentley - Cole
if Smith wants to go forward, Petts can drop into the central place for cover.
But we have Jay back and Cole has signed. Both are improvements.[b said:Quote[/b] (Beefy @ July 21 2005,11:35)]Not a single person has voted for the midfield that got us promoted.....
I don't think so - he's had abot 6 months of careful work, all building up to this pre-season.[b said:Quote[/b] (overseas shrimper @ July 21 2005,10:32)]Also, it may take a few more games in the reserves for Smith to get back to full fitness and sharpness.
Agreed[b said:Quote[/b] (Shrimpbizkit @ July 21 2005,10:37)]Bentleys height makes up for the relative lack of height of Freddy and Wayne. He'll start
I tried to get as close to it as possible with Maher, Bentley & Pettefer still in the team. I just cannot put Gower in the team though as I have no idea why he isn't replicating the sort of form he did in his first season with us.[b said:Quote[/b] (Beefy @ July 21 2005,11:35)]Not a single person has voted for the midfield that got us promoted.....
That would leave us horribly unbalanced though. If Smith pushes forward, which we know he will, and Petts comes infield to cover him, we have nobody playing wide right. It just wouldn't work.[b said:Quote[/b] (Song of the South Upper @ July 21 2005,10:49)]Right to left:
