Hi,
I’m collecting some info on this seasons Championship, I was wondering if you guys could let me know the following :
- Your first choice XI
- Who you would point out as the players to watch this season
- Where do you see your team finishing this season?
I will come back in a few weeks to allow for new signings etc.
Cheers.

Hi!

My first XI would be (so far):

Kuszczak

Bruno
Greer
El-Abd
Calderon

Bridcutt
Vicente
Buckley
LuaLua
Barnes

Mackail-Smith

Because we haven't signed enough players yet, this is not an accurate XI

Players to watch: Bruno and Vicente (if he does come back) and I reckon Forster-Caskey and Barnes will have great seasons

Finish: Hoping play offs, but I reckon 7th or 8th

 

[The Terminator]

A bit early to do this sort of stuff don't you think?

 

[Mackenzie]

As it stands:

1. Kojac
2. Baldy
3. Hairy
4. Bridders
5. Egyptian
6. Skipper
7. God
8. Dicker
9. Macca
10. Bucker
11. Kaz

Keep an eye on God.....probably finish in the top half.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Steele
Williams
Tiler
Horton
Rollings
Lawrenson
Towner
Whatsisname
Maybank (or Poskett)
Sayer (In reality it'll probably be Clark, but i'm biast)
O'Sullivan

 

[NorthStandPagey]

Kuszczak

Bruno Greer El'abd Calde

Vicente Bridders

Barnes
Buckers LuaLua
CMS

Players to watch out for ... CMS, had time to get used to our style of play, I reckon he'll perform this season.
I reckon we'll finish in the top 6 definitely.

More chance of Bruno being left back than Calde if they both pay together.

Most likely scenario is Bruno right back and Painter left back.

I see Vincelot playing ahead of Painter.

I see Vincelot playing ahead of Painter.

Painter's getting a stupidly hard time on here in the past month. He probably has become one of the most likely to face a battle for his position but that doesn't mean he's not up to it.

He's better than Calderon and Vincelot at actually defending and he's left footed. Yes he's not brilliant at attacking, but we've got a right back who can do that, we've got midfielders who can do that.

It's obvious we need to sign a left back to compete with Painter. It's also obvious that you'd want to sign someone who is better than him or offers something different to him. It seems to me though that some people confuse "needing to improve" an area with "that players not good enough".

Agree with this, top post.
