Now Greer has signed who will be in the starting XI...

[ballboys]

... For me:

Brezovan
Calderon/Elphick/Greer/Painter
Bennet/Kishishev/Naarro/Dicker
Murray/Barnes

Thats on the basis that 1) we get to an agreement with Kishishev 2) we dont sign the big name striker Gus is looking for.

 

[dougdeep]

Starting 11 - North Stand Chat

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

For me it will be:

Brezovan

Calderon Greer Elphick Painter

Bennett Sparrow Navarro Lua Lua(hopefully)

Murray/Barnes New striker

 

[Bald Gull]

Sparrow will play.

There's quite a bit of talk about Tunnicliffe and/or McNulty moving on at the moment but if Gus is looking to have 2 players in each position, we have a surplus of central midfielders if we get Kishishev.

If we do get him, we have:

Sparrow
Kishishev
Navarro
Dicker
Battipiedi

plus Caskey and others who will presumably be in the development squad. Wouldn't surprise me to see Dicker head off somewhere (unless he is seen as the back-up left-sided midfield player)

 

[227 BHA]

Calderon/Elphick/Greer/Painter

Murray/Barnes

Surely Gus didn't sign Sparrow just to sit him on the bench? And i don't think he dropped down from the Championship to bench-warm either?

 

[Socky]

Have a feeling he may be planning on playing one up front for a lot of the games. 4-5-1 which changes to a 4-3-3 when we have the ball. So........
Brezovan
Painter, Claderon, Greer, Elphick
Bennett, Sparrow, Kishishev or Navarro, Dicker, LuaLua or Baz
Murray or Barnes

 

[Braders]

Brezovan

Bennett, Sparrow, Kishishev or Navarro, Dicker, LuaLua or Baz
Murray or Barnes

may need to swap Calderon and Elphick around but that is starting to look like a very good side

still needs that 30 goal a season striker mind

Murray or Barnes

Although he played 4-4-2 for both halfs of the friendly yesterday.

I think he will play 4-4-2 next season

Brezovan
Calderon Greer Elphick Painter
Bennett Sparrow Dicker Baz(or LuaLua)
Murray Barnes(or new signing)

Poke
El-Abd
McNulty
Kishichev
Navarro
Battipiedi
Holroyd

 

[warsaw]

f*** knows whos gonna start, I doubt whether even Gus is sure yet. Can't remember when we last had such a decent squad. Just need to strengthen left side, and a 30 goal a season striker should be the ticket to fulfilling our dreams. Probably.

 

[JBizzle]

But isn't El-Abd Poyet's "Best defender at the club"? Thus placing him above Elphick?

And I don't like Dicker on the left. It needs a proper winger to give the backs things to think about.

And Sparrow WILL start.

 

[Caveman]

For me it will be:

Brezovan

Calderon Greer Elphick Painter

Bennett Sparrow Navarro Lua Lua(hopefully)

Murray/Barnes New striker

This, but maybe Dicker for Navarro.

I agree Socky, with the squad as it is I expect Gus will use that formation. Having said alot will obviously depend on the other additions to the squad particularly the other striker he's looking to sign.
