Team V Brighton

[Arriba]

i hope there is a proper replacement for paynter, and not our version of emile heskey come august

[Benzel]

Nimley?/A.N Other Man City striker?

[Mexicano Rojo]

Well added to that line up from what we have been told, I expect a liverpool, man city and celtic player to be there or there abouts. The point I was trying to make was we could now field a strong starting 11 without any loan players, if you look back to the team this time last year we are so much stronger, this was our team v gillingham last year

Dear Lord, that team is horrible compared to what we had at the end of last season.

[Mexicano Rojo]

exactly, so if we can start with a stronger line up and trust wilson to get it stronger as the season goes on just like last year we should be in for another corker.

A tad harsh.

[DV]

First XI looks alright.

Would be a very weak bench though.

Dear Lord, that team is horrible compared to what we had at the end of last season.

As Rich said, a tad harsh. Although the fact that we had Amankwaah in midfield, JFL at left back, Cuthbert totally unfit, O'Brien totally unfit and McNamee drifting in and out of games goes a long way to explaining the result of that match! We didn't have a lot on the bench either.

[reeves4england]

First XI looks alright.

Would be a very weak bench though.

Yes but as we all know there will be 4 or 5 additions, who will either take up places on the bench or push members of that first XI out of the side, so discussing a lack of strength in depth is quite pointless.

[Rich Pullen]

It's a bare bones squad and as far as that's concerned, it's competitive. We've had far worse!

[nevillew]

To be fair, discussing the team is just as pointless at this stage, but it's given us something else to think about.

[Bob's Orange]

It says that Rose is a LB, so surely he will become first choice and therefore Manky on the bench and someone else at RB. (Darby, Caddis?)

[Barry Scott]

Manky is RB though BO, so replaces sheehan/KLF at LB.

I'm an idiot. I have no idea why I thought Manky was a LB! Too much summer sun methinks!
