Team for next season-

Mark Howard
Daryll Westlake/Tony McMahon
Harry Maguire
Neill Collins
Matt Hill
Ryan Flynn
Kevin McDonald
Michael Doyle
Stephen Quinn
John Cofie
Chris Porter

With the BIG squad we've already got (and don't forget DW is expected to bring even more in shortly (!), I reckon we can put 2 teams out and have plenty of players spare. I know a few I'm naming are currently injured, but look how big the squad is. First side is based on last years players, the others new purchases and those expected to push through from the reserves:

Howard: Williams, Maguire, Collins, Leschinel: Flynn, Doyle, MacDonald, Quinn: Cresswell, Porter

Long: Westlake, McMahon, Kennedy, Hill:
McAlister, Tonne, Harriott, Whitehouse: Cofie, Miller

Note the others that don't make either X1:

Monty, Ironside, Chappell, Philliskirk, McFadzene

I've probably missed someone out I know, but I can't see a case for more signings as I've named a squad of 27 players already. Even if we get a rush of injuries in a particular position, we can bring loan players in for a month or so if needed, or somone plays in a different position for a week or so.

Surely with the above, we have a good chance of promotion now. COYRAWW!

Yeah mate your team is good but you've got Marcus Williams and Lescinel in same team when there both left backs that's why I put Westlake/McMahon because it's hard to guess because they're both really good players, also I think Lescinel is better than Williams

I put the 2 teams out, but note what I put on them - they were just to say how many players we had in the squad..... everybody has their own idea of an ideal team, with all fit and in position. Hoping the younsters gets game minutes and come through,and those injured get better, my stating line-up would be:

Long
McMahon, Maguire, Collins, Williams;
Flynn, McDonald, Doyle, Quinn;
Porter, Cofie

Subs:
Howard, Hill, Montgomery, McAlister, McFadzene, Philiskirk, Ironside

When fit, Lescinel to gtet straight back in the team, Kennedy, Whitehouse, and the other dozen ot so to work harrd to get into the side.
