It won't be but I wouldn't be surprised if we play something likeBR7_addick said:
Much better.jamiebcool said:Maybe 433
Swap Dobbo for JFC and we good to go. Maybe even McGrandles for JFC depending on who’s fitter at the moment.
Wollacott
Clare Innis O'Connell Sessegnon
JFC
Egbo McGrandles Fraser CBT
Stockley
With the players we have now, which almost certainly won't be the players we have then.0 -
Neither squad looks capable of mounting a camel let alone a promotion push in 22/23. I think we need someone fast up front. A Franny Jeffers type player (before he lost it!) its all well having two mammoths in Stockley and Aneke up front but I think we need a very different type of forward. And one that really has proved himself at this level at the very least.Exiled_Addick said:
Potential match day squad vs Accrington as things stand:msomerton said:the problem is what is the team to face Accrington in 3 weeks. Last season we signed players after the start of the season and it took the first quarter of the season to have a vague idea of the regular first team squad and which players were not up to it. we even struggled to put out a full reserve bench for some games.
Is that what people keep telling us that there is still two months of the window to go want.
Wollacott, Egbo, Innis, O'Connell, Sessegnon, Dobson, Fraser, JFC, CBT, Stockley, DJ, Subs: MacGillivray, Lavelle, Clare, Kirk, McGrandles, Aneke, Davison
Tell me that doesn't already look a lot stronger on paper than the squad for last season's opener, especially on the bench?
MacGillivray, Gunter, Innis, Famewo, Matthews, Dobson, Morgan, Clare, DJ, Stockley, Washington. Subs: Harness, Pearce, Elerewe, Watson, Davison, Ghandour, Clayden
Lyle Taylor anyone?!0 -

Take him back in a heartbeat and would probably be the difference in our chances this season. Think he’d score 20+ in a side built like ours this season.ValleyOfTears said:

Can’t see him dropping down to League One nor can I see him coming back though either, unfortunately.5 -
I’d make Kirk Captainjamiebcool said:Maybe 43316 -
I don’t think anyone necessarily thinks it will, but it’s got a much better chance of getting us a stronger start to the season than last year and then with a few later additions, who knows?eaststandmike said:

I wonder whether other teams forums have already declared opinion with so much transfer window left. This isn’t the finished article. Fucking hell.11

More than happy to mate. He has never scored 20 league goals in league 1 or higher in a season. Is 28 years old. Is so over rated on here. Saying all that I do like him.LTKapal said:

My only concerns comes in the form of service and his ability to play 44 games post back injury quite frankly.cs1986 said:

in that first season with us he had decent service and low behold double his stats up and he comes close. I’m not judging him on that tripe last season or his performances at Preston as I have an inside track on Preston and know he wasn’t used to his full effect there either as well as higher division .
I digress, for transparency, I don’t think he has a great touch and I’m not delusional, he has limitations but as a L1 striker specifically, give him chances he will score.
However I’d also like another striker for the record.3 -
Yeah a good mate of mine is a big Preston fan home and away. He rated him. My problem with Stockley is he can't play up top on his own. I said it before start of last season. It was awful watching us toil with him playing lone striker role.LTKapal said:

I'd love Mckirdy I said it a while back I think he looks quality.1 -

Can you also tell me next weeks lottery numbers as you can clearly see the future ? 👍eaststandmike said:

I wouldn’t have both Egbo and Clare down the right and I hope he doesn’t. Midfield looks so much better.Cafc43v3r said:

Who knows if this squad will get us anywhere near promotion but I do know that I'm more excited to see if they can than I thought I would be after that shit last season11

In the eyes of many, he’s a starter . As average as some of DJs end product is , if we are going to play 433 (which I genuinely don’t think we can) he’s far more dangerous and high tempo than Kirk.SoundAsa£ said:
Has he……that’s news to me?wmcf123 said:
We cannot play with Stockley up front on his own . Also, Kirk has become really great since he hasn’t been with us!sinceiwasyoung said:
Would go for Woolacott instead of MacGillivray and MacGrandles for JFC butjamiebcool said:Maybe 433
like the formation .For what it’s worth , I’d currently play this, qualified by having never seen any of our new signings play:
JW
Clare, O’Connell, Lavelle/DE
DJ, Dobson, JFC, McGrandles, Sessegnon
CBT, Stockley0 -
Subs: MacGillivray, Lavelle, Clare, JFC, Morgan, Jaiyesimi, Aneke9 -

Still need a cb, lb, striker and winger. Maybe move on Morgan and get in Payne.12

I'd still start Macca over Wollacott, was first game, and will be interested to see improvement today against Dartford - But Jojo hasnt convinced me as a first choice Goalkeeper yet.4

Surely Wollacott has to earn a starting place. He may well do but so far Macca must be ahead of him.ForeverAddickted said:I'd still start Macca over Wollacott, was first game, and will be interested to see improvement today against Dartford - But Jojo hasnt convinced me as a first choice Goalkeeper yet.5 -
I’m not so sure, we’ve gotta be ruthless, if BG thinks Wollacott suits the system better then so be it.MuttleyCAFC said:

The big evolution in football is who do you have on the field at the business end of a game because the 5 sub rule is a game changer. Reminds me of when I was a manager in kids football with roll on, roll off subs, if possible i always had my *strongest team on the field in the last third of a game.
So give the eleven you want to start and finish a match; forget the mandatory injuries which will affect selections.
You are not necessarily dropped if you don't start a match. The rules have changed and the manager who can out think the opposition manager has a real advantage in the mediocre League 1 where most players have weaknesses.
*Real Madrid were so much stronger then City at the business end of the final. Walker's injury was the catalyst but Madrid had fresh legs where City were spent.4 -
Totally agree with this and why Barnsley did so well a couple of years back under Ismael.soapboxsam said:The big evolution in football is who do you have on the field at the business end of a game because the 5 sub rule is a game changer.

It makes people like Aneke more valuable. When you have 5 changes to make, you can really incorporate at least 3 into the game plan before the game. And it also means attackers can run harder for the first hour or so knowing they’ll be subbed.
I think winning the games and leagues this year will be as much about which managers learn the 5 sub strategies best as it will be about the starting line ups and tactics.3 -
Why? Is this a different MacGillivray who hadn't looked the worst number one we've had?MuttleyCAFC said:

The 5 sub rule feels like it was made for players like Aneke5

A new manager should always start the season with players picked on merit on their form in pre season friendlies and training input. No one should get picked above someone else because of last season. Its about current form. So yes Wollacott has to earn his place like every player needs to.Talal said:
