I know that we will get players in ( "we will wont will Phil ????" ) and we might lose Lenny ("we wont will we Ron ???" ) and given that Ranger and Wordsworth wont be available due to holiday and injury , what starting 11 ( and subs ) would people select.
This thread is due to another slow news day...............
 
Hard choice between Oxley and Smith at this stage, but Oxley for experience, We only have 4 real contenders for the back 4 , so Demetriou, White, Ferdinand and Coker . Assuming no Wordsworth = Lenny, Timlin, Bridge and Mc Laughlin. Real struggle if Lenny goes, Mc G as sub ? , Cox and Fortune upfront. Shows how limited the squad is at present in terms of quality and depth. Need 7 in to replace losses in the not too distant future. Current squad of 17 includes Ranger, Wordsworth Lenny and Bridge. 13 senior players and 11 youngsters , including Bridge and Kyprianou
 
Yes, things look a little thin .................. but the only possible loss seems to be Leonard ............. and there is bound to be some signings to add some real strength to any already quite good starting XI.

Plenty to be quietly pleased about I think.
 
Smith
Demetriou Ferdinand White Coker
McGlashan Lenny Timlin McLaughlin
Cox MAF

subs
Oxley, Kyprianou, Matsuzaka, Bridge, Robinson err... Cotton? Batlokwa? Bedford? Wabo?

I suppose if you've finally decided to post again Danny it's worth pointing out that Will has moved to Mansfield.:smiles:
 
I've got to say that we've started seasons with our squad in a worse state. We will sign players before the season starts - of that I have no doubt. But if we had to start the opening game with the sides that have been suggested I think we'd compete. Squad depth really comes into play over the course of an entire season, you could get away with our current side for the odd game.

Very little scope to differ ,but Oxley for Smith obviously and surely it would be worth giving Matsuzaka and Bridge a run as McG and White are both bench players.
 
Wow, we are depressingly short of players. Can anyone make me feel more optimistic by providing a list of decent players currently without a club?

Give over - we have the spine/skeleton of a good squad with some youngsters on the periphery. Sign a couple of decent players and all will be well as we scout for some more talent in the "trials bin".

Well if we do sign Kiernan and Hendrie tomorrow things will look a lot rosier. I think we need a midfield enforcer type particularly if Leonard moves on, a right midfielder and perhaps another striker.
