    Nope, not anymore - They're not allowed in the EFL

    They had to replace it last summer when they got promoted from the Conference.
  • That looks like our current starting first 11. And it has too few goals in it.

  • The same XI that I said will start come July 30th in the rumours thread, looking strong, look forward to the meltdown when we lose.. 
  • Still nothing delivered by Castore 

  • Interesting that JFC has been told he can listen to offers, but Garner clearly sees him as ahead of Morgan and Gilbey even with McGrandles injured. 

    Makes me feel if he does go we should be looking to strengthen that area of the pitch. 
  • Given that McGrandles and Egbo won’t be fit for the start of the season, that looks close to the starting 11 in a fortnight’s time at Accrington, subject to any injuries in the meantime. Hopefully we’ll get a goalscoring forward and a left back in soon.

    Still wonder if the No.1 jersey is that secure... Both Wollacott and Macca have had wobbles this summer.

    Guess Jojo will get the full 90mins today (seeing Macca got that long against Colchester) - We'll then find out who the starting Goalkeeper is, come the Swansea game next week - Other than Striker it feels the weakest position in the team.

    Maybe I'm just being overly harsh on Wollacott, and given a few weeks, will find his feet with us

    JFC is a better player than Morgan or Gilbey, but I doubt he can work in the same 11 as Dobson as they both like lying deep.

    Difficult to base on last season given how shite we were... But felt we looked disorganised the handful of times that JFC and Dobson played together last season, as JFC was trying to do exactly what you say.

  • Looks like 4-3-3. As has been said before the biggest question is how the three CMs set up. I’d be surprised if the others line up differently.

                 Wollacott

    Clare Inniss O’Connell Sessegnon

                     Dobson

                JFC        Fraser

    CBT                                   Kirk

                    Stockley

    Second half if we sub on entire team

                      CM

    Ness Lavelle Elerewe Clayden

              Gilbey Morgan

    Davison       Aneke      DJ

                  Leaburn
  • For the punters.

    Charlton 1/1
    Charlton win & BTTS 3/1

    Decent when you consider a) majority of our favoured XI is starting today and b) our last two results (6-1 & 4-2).  
    Which bookie is this with? Ridiculous pricing 
  • Swansea will tell us who Garner sees as our best 11, this team is just the reverse of Tuesday's, to balance game time.

    I would imagine more of today's team will be first choice, but not necessarily all.

    Bizarre to have odds on a preseason friendly anyway!

    Sounds like a swarm of bees greeted the players arrival.

    Skybet I used
  • I just got Charlton at 21/20 on Skybet. Should be like printing money even if we’re not that good. 
  • Anyone else got "stream starting soon" with the countdown clock stuck on 14.59 ? Not sure if mine has loaded correctly thats all

    Pretty sure this is who Garner sees as his best 11 as he will want them, particularly the back 4, playing together. 

    Could possible see Lavelle/Deji coming in for Inniss and Morgan for JFC out of the fit players. But that’s it.

    Indeed. Im hoping to not see JFC back towards the left back this game which frequently seems to happen with him.

    You’re not gonna like this if you’re one of the negative Norris’ but the fact that the latter is our second XI shows we are stronger than we have been for a good few years, could we even fill a second XI in the last five years or so.

    Jesus Christ, will we have to listen to the 'rock god' that is TS before every stream starts this season?

    There is a mute button you can click on the video ;)
  • I had that, then came back in again and is now showing nothing. oh wait. down to 1.56
  • Feckin song is on repeat..... this is what the mute button was designed for.
  • Oh no, Dobson is playing - must be an opportunity for him to throw his shirt in the crowd before leaving.
    Gives the scouts an opportunity to run the rule over him.😜
  • Looking at the starting line up I can only repeat what we seem to say at the start of every season......

    Where are the goals going to come from ?  Might be alright beating Dartford & Colchester but League 1 is a tad stronger.  Next week against Swansea will be the true test.
