Starting line up for opening game in the Championship

[Paskman]

Isn't El Abd injured? Plus we're expecting some kind of star forward, so maybe more like:

Ankergren

Calderon. Greer. (Lucio). Painter.

Buckley. Bridcutt. Dicker. Noone.

Hoskins. (Messi).

Still looks pretty good!

I thought. Lurcio was in "Up Pompeii "?..............oh sorry Lucio!

New quality striker and center back are must haves.

I reckon this is almost spot on. Would play Nooney. Maybe Keogh or Vokes, a young Prem centre back on loan (maybe the African lad at spurs)

I was thinking that Noone would be used as an impact player depending on who we are playing (like Lua Lua was). I guess it depends who we sign. I really rate him so hope he does start.

Picking up on other comments re: Barnes/Hoskins, I think they will be fighting it out for a place in the team IF we go 2 up front, but definitely room for both if we go for 3 up top. Again, I was thinking in terms of Barnes as an impact player - he does have a decent record coming off the bench.
