I’d say that’s our strongest XI. Maybe another midfielder and some new strikers.

Be interesting to see how the back 3 get on, as on paper that’s our strongest combination, which many have alluded previously.

Theres something called a ā€œsubstitutes benchā€. He could be on that :roll_eyes:

There’s something called a subs bench. Or, worst case he isn’t even Triallist A, B, C…

Presume thats 3 at the back with the 2 wing backs.
Unless McEntee is in midfield…

What about Allen? Surely after the end of season performances he must be part of our best back three

If that’s what we start with up front against Morecambe I give up.

Was just going to say. Three and a half weeks to go to the season and that line up for Morecambe wouldn’t shock me at all.

It’s one of those glass half full/empty scenarios I think. Half full in that the first 11 is settled compared to many other pre seasons where even getting a competent 11 out at this stage would be a struggle.

However no chance that 11 gets in the top 7 so 2-3 decent signings are still very much needed and then a couple of those can form a decent enough bench.

Looks exactly like Leon Bailey! Perhaps he’s going to play for both teams tonight.

First ref moan of the season from me. Barrett hacked down and nowt given.

You certainly won’t miss our keeper in that kit.

Whats the audience looking like? Large enough for a signing on fee?

Hmmm. Second ref moan. Looked onside to me.

Nowhere near as many as if it was on a weekend.I couldn’t believe it was on a Wednesday night tbh.

Haven’t seen a definitive angle yet but looked a tight one.

Yes, would have expected more on the weekend.

Off swimming. Will keep checking in periodically to see how we are doing :+1:
