Anyone brave enough to guess what it will be? Will Saturday’s team against Southend give us any clues?

    My best guess is

    Kaminski

    Ramsay Jones Gillesphey

    Apter Docherty Coventry Edwards

    Carey

    Leaburn Olaofe


    Could also see Bell for Gillesphey and TC for Olaofe and maybe JRC for Docherty at a push

                                    Kaminski

       Apter     Ramsey       Jones            Bell          Edwards

                        Docherty            Coventry                     

                                       Carey

                      TC/Kelman            Olaofe/Leaburn



    I'd hazard a guess that it'll be TC & Olaofe but I can't really decide

    Then what do you predict the team that starts against Southend this Saturday to be?

    For me there’s only six certainties (barring injuries of course): Kaminski, Ramsay, Jones, Edwards, Coventry and Rankin-Costello.

    That leaves five spots up for grabs IMO:

    LCB (Gillesphey but could be Bell)
    RWB or CM (depending on where JRC plays)
    AM
    and the two forwards

    Assuming we are sticking with the trusted 3-5-2 from last season.

    Kaminski

    Apter
    Ramsay
    Jones
    Bell
    Edwards

    JRC
    Coventry
    Carey

    Kelman
    Olaofe

    ...is my prediction but NJ may well go for Doc over JRC

    Hard to say as I don't think we are done recruiting.

    Kaminski, Ramsay, Lloydy, Coventry, Edwards, Gillesphey, Tanto & I think TC will likely start. 

    Players who I expect will start at some point like Bell, Knibbs, Kelman will need more time probably.

    That leaves 3 spots up for grabs, the right side slot, centre mid, attacking midfielder.

    So maybe Apter, Doc/Costello and Carey. 

    Something like this:

                               Kelman Olaofe

    This would be my starting eleven as well. (Carey for Knibbs if that drags on) .  I wouldn't start TC

    Kaminski

    Ramsay Jones Gillesphey 

    Apter Doc Coventry Edwards
                       Knibbs

             Kelman Leaburn


  • crookester

    Assuming he does join, I think it will be too late for Knibbs to start the first game but I see him starting off as a sub and taking the "10" role pretty soon. I don't think TC and Olafe would work, it will.be one of them with Kelman/Godden/Leaburn, unless we start with a front 3.

    How much will we learn from tomorrow’s starting XI in relation to what it means for Watford a week later?

    I'd say it will be closest to first team as can be imo probably 8-9 bankers and then a few he's still making his mind up maybe to start against Watford.

    I've a hunch that Doc will get the 'Coventry role' this season .. Kaminski .. Ramsay, Jones, Gillesphey .. Apter, Carey, Knibbs, Docherty, Edwards .. Oloafe, Kelman

    Probably not as the 8. Maybe as competition/
    back up for Coventry though.

                                       Knibbs

                               Kelman Olaofe

    This one for me 
    Yes, this looks as good a bet as any - will be a bit harsh on TC though so would see him as first off the bench. Also wonder whether we are going to keep Ahadme for his aerial ability if we need a last throw of the dice / launch it into the box option at the end of a game if all else has failed? Aneke and Hylton have gone and Leaburn isn't that type of player so??

    wouldn't be totally surprised if we don't go 433 with TC and Tanto either side of Kelman

    Thought I was tripping out for some reason.

    I think it was RC who said on his last post match pod that the team who started our last friendly last year was the team that started the first game of the season.

    What an amazing choice we have after all these years. Never be perfect but we are comparatively spoilt for choice. I have not got a clue for the 11 but looking forward to this time next week. 

    Still at the full of hope and expectation stage

    Really hard to tell who will start up front, as we have incredible depth. Plus some players are behind in terms of their match fitness.

    Based on fitness and what we've seen in pre-season



    No room for Fullah unfortunately, Mannion, Burke, Godden, Berry and Taylor miss out through injury, I'd expect A. Mitchell, Kanu and Ahadme to have left by this time next week. 

    Enslin and Dixon alongside Fullah to be the wildcards that could break into the first team squad/impress in cup games
