be interesting to see how we use the squad this season, we have 15 league games in the next 60 odd days, which of course is the same for everyone in the league.

Agree, but Mandy always plays better with King in tandem, which is why I reckon Cooky will start with him.

Don't know why you got a red for stating a fact.

However, as productive as the right hand side was last season is there a possibility we could see changes on that side of the pitch with Mandeville & King giving way to Jacobs & Sheckleford?

That would make a 3 of Jacobs, Dobra & Colclough behind Grigg.

these are nice problems to try and figure out aren't they, think back just a couple of years and our midfield options were smith, weston, butterfield and mandeville (who was not the same player at that point)

I know age is against him but Mike Jones can count himself unfortunate.

He’s understandably not making our strongest starting XI but he was instrumental in our team last season and, arguably, the biggest ‘miss’ when not in the team.

I suppose it just shows the strength in that area of the pitch we now have.

Any pitch inspection planned, it must be taking some hammer after all the rain today, I know it drains well, but it's been a bad few weeks weather wise and rained all day so far..

Having kept tabs on his progress, I'm intrigued as to how Jud Wilkinson will be managed. The podcasters also think he's a talent and I'm wondering whether he'll make the bench for some matches, or even go out on loan to the NL North.

It may be a good call, occasionally having him on the bench, he's good in the air and bearing in mind this league tends to mimic 'Lands of the Giants" we may well be vertically challenged due to not having many 6 footers.

That’s my starting 11. Think Palmer may make the bench instead of Oldaker or Jones if he’s fit.

We'll probably have the sprinklers on at 2.30!

Let's all keep an eye out for James Berry in the crowd.

starting 11 correct, bench sees palmer instead of King and jez instead of jones

[Search & Destroy]

No King in the squad

Not a real surprise, you don’t need wing backs bombing on with that front 4.
