I'd pick:

-------------------Basso---------------------

Wilson------Carey----Fontaine--McAllister

Murray----Russell----Johnson----McIndoe

------------Jevons----Trundle--------------

Henderson

Keogh

Elliott

Betsy

Showunmi

I think GJ will pick Orr ahead of Wilson and Vasko ahead of Fontaine though.

And Elliott over Russell

---------------------Basso--------------------

Wilson------Carey----Vasko------McAllister

-------------------Elliott-----------------------

Sproule------------------------------McIndoe

-----------------Johnson----------------------

------------Jevons----Trundle----------------

Henderson

Plumber

Murray

Skuse

Fontaine

I think that would do it kinda 4-4-2 that gives Macca and Wilson the freedom to attack and johnson the freedon to spray it about a bit from the middle and Elliot to mop stuff up infront of the defence :) I'd put Nobes in as well but I think he's injured not sure though.

Noble is injured along with SB & McCombe.Sproule is suspended until Sept 1st

-------------------Basso----------------------------

Orr--------Carey--------Vasko----------McAllister

------------Elliott---------Johnson------------------

Murray------------------------------------McIndoe

------------Showunmi---Trundle-------------------

Reckon that will be the team that GJ picks looking at tonights line up at WSM

Wilson

Fontaine

Skuse

Plummer

Russell

GJ will pick Henderson as sub GK and I doub't you'll see Plummer in a first team shirt this season barring injuries

I'd go along with exactly that line up.

Start off with 4-4-2 and I think we'll be chasing the game after half an hour.

Defending isn't good at the moment and we need to get some confidence by keeping it tight and not going behind - that's been happening too often lately.

I've heard all the "it's only pre-season games" and I don't buy it - we've got defensive problems and it'll take games to sort it out, not days. Until then, keep it tight - it's not boring and it is more sound defensively.

Yep that was my thinking and the squad, not the team, almost picks itself.

Of a squad of 32.

Eight won't play much and two are on loan in Artus & JMW.Mainly the youngsters & Partridge

That's 24 of whom:

Three are injured that's 21

One's suspended that's 20

Weale's on loan that's 19

So it's:

Basso

Henderson

Orr

Wilson

McAllister

Keogh

Fontaine

Vasak

Carey

Skuse

Elliott

Russell

Johnson

McIndoe

Murray

Betsy

Jevons

Showunmi

Trundle

Just pick the three to miss out and don't include Henderson because GJ always has one on the bench-which I agree with given Basso's unfortunate habit of leaving the field injured on occassions.

I don't think GJ will go 4-5-1 although I hope he does and I don't think we'll win if he doesn't.

Probable 4-4-2

..BASSO.........

ORR...CAREY....VASKO........MCALLISTER.

MURRAY...........JOHNSON.............ELLIOTT.....MCINDOE......

..........TRUNDLE.SHOWUNMI......

SUBS

HENDERSON

BETSY

JEVONS

SKUSE

FONTAINE

Miss Out:

Keogh

Wilson

Russell

Toss up between Keogh-Fontaine & Skuse-Russell but that won't be far away judging by Saturday & Tonights selection.

Like I said I hope it's 4-5-1 but my gut feeling is 4-4-2 and a score draw or a defeat.

Orr, Fontaine and Skuse would be the three to drop out for me but I'd put money on GJ lining up as follows:

-------------- Basso,

Orr, ---- Carey, Vasko, -- McAllister,

Murray, Elliott, Johnson, --McIndoe,

--------Trundle, Showunmi.

Subs: Henderson, Keogh, Skuse, Betsy, Jevons.

Id have Wilson in for Betsy, he can cover more positions - versaitility from the substitutes. One might argue that Betsy could potentially "change the game". I personally havent seen that from him despite hearing that he's had a good pre season.
