    Can we start with 16 and then whittle it down once we have an idea of the best 11?

    Phillips in goal probably Purrington left back

    someone else can choose the other 9
  • Let Stoke Worry about that.

    So pleased with today.
  • Phillips, Solly, Lockyer, Pearce, Purrington, Kayal, Cullen, Field, Williams, Hemed, Taylor.

    Subs: Amos, Oshilaja, Sarr, Pratley, JFC, Leko, Aneke
  • You'll find out when I upload the Match Preview @ 8pm

    If Kayal and Hamad are loans then one loanee has to miss out - With Gallagher the least experienced I see it being him a few times this season

    Feel for him yet laughing inside at Chelsea if so for the bastards they've been with the pitch and Scott Parker

    The programme for Saturday may have a few spelling mistakes?

    Aneke is injured I believe so Gallagher will probably replace him on the bench at the very least. I'd be surprised if all of Kamal, Field and Hemed went straight into the starting XI too given they've never trained with the Club. Cullen is a different case for obvious reasons so could well start.

    Bowyer said last week that Aneke would only miss the Blackburn game

    We'll have a better idea of Saturday's team selection after Bowyer's re-arranged press conference tomorrow.

    We won't have to wait forever, Forever. :smile:

    Along with Gallagher and the youngsters...the squad of players is unreal & was unthinkable a few days ago...that could possibly be a midtable finish team/squad for us now...hats off to you  LB/SG & JJ


    Im going for 10th...

    I wouldn't mind seeing something like

                     Phillips 
    Solly Pearce Lockyer Purrington
                 Cullen  Kayal
         Williams Field Aneke
                         Taylor 

    Subs Amos Sarr Gallagher Morgan Pratley JFC Leko 

    Strong squad that.

    Not sure that Bowyer will play all of the new lads from the start as they'll only get to train with us tomorrow. 

    If I were guessing I'd go something like this.

    Phillips
    Purrington
    Lockyer
    Pearce
    Solly
    Cullen
    Williams
    Gallagher
    Aneke
    Taylor
    Leko

    Reckon that's about right but can see him starting JFC ahead of Field after we won last week.

    Aneke might not be fit enough to start either so who knows.

    How good is this though to not have a team that picks itself and to have genuine competition for places? We look like we have enough about us now to stay up at least. Going to be an enjoyable season to see what we can do.

    There should be a prize for predicting the starting 11 for Saturday. Unbelievably so many option now.

    Only Leuth correctly realises that Oshilaja is ahead of Solly in the pecking order at RB. Solly is only back-up from now on.

    Phillips

    Solly Lockyer Pearce Purrington

    Gallagher Pratley Cullen Williams

    Aneke

    Taylor

    Subs Amos Oshilaja Sarr Kayal Field JFC Hemed

    Hemed (if he signs) to replace Aneke if not 100% with Leko on the bench.


  • Tough one to call this... I think for Saturday quite a few of the new boys will start from the bench...

                   Phillips
    Osh Lockyer Pearce Purr
                  Cullen
            Kayal.      JFC
                  Williams
            Taylor.     Leko

    Subs: Amos, Sarr, Field, Gallagher, Pratley, Aneke, Bonne

    Hemed to replace Bonne on the bench if he signs...

    If we get Hemed in I would say.

    Phillips
    Oshilaja Lockyer Pearce Purrington
    Cullen 
    Field Kayal 
    Williams
    Taylor Hemed

    Probably unlikely as the players won't be ready to jump straight in but that's the strongest XI

    Phillips
    Oshilaja  Lockyer  Pearce  Purrington
    Gallagher (Lapslie)  Pratley (JFC)  Cullen 
    Williams (Morgan)
    Leko  Taylor 

    So Leko the only "new" new boy to start, and only because he is the only Grant-type striker we have. The rest to get starts against Forest Green because unfair to throw them in with only one day's training together as a team.

    Team against Forest Green could be something like:
    Amos
    Solly (unless new signing)  Birch  Sarr  Stevenson
    Wiredu  Kayal  Field 
    Aneke
    Bonne  Hemed

    The new players need time to gel so we won’t throw all of them in - especially since we also won the first game of the season.

    The team will be something along the lines of...

    Phillips
    Solly Lockyer Pearce Purrington
    Williams Cullen Pratley JFC
    Aneke
    Taylor

    Subs: Amos, Oshilaja, Sarr, Field, Kayal, Leko/Gallagher, Hemed/Bonne



    That’s three changes with Solly, Cullen and Aneke in for Dijksteel, Sarr and Lapslie. I expect the likes of Field, Leko, Oshilaja and Bonne to start against Forest Green in midweek.

    Subject to his form and ability, LB will want to start him enough times to keep Chelsea happy. He will not want to offend them and lose him and possibly the chance of future loans.

    I do not suppose LB gives a f*ck about Scott Parker or the sandy pitch. He is a mature adult, unlike most of our posters.

    Hemed will not be a loan, anyway.
