Marshall and Meadows in the middle for me

[Shauneyg]

+1
however when does zak serve his 1 match ban??

[Carl Newell]

Looking very thin in places for Saturday in my opinion. From what I have seen Hollingsworth is not ready yet for Conf North. Presumably Mills will be suspended against Barrow, Newsham and Dowie would also be dead certs for the 11 if fit. Before Dowie got suspended Marshall would probably have taken Mills place at right back but is now needed more in midfield. Galinski is the only real option at right back now. At the moment the team for Sat looks a bit like this

Vince

Galinski
Pidge
Reynolds
Steer

McGhee
Meadows
Marshall
Felix

Garner
Southwell


Hollingsworth, Gledhill, Watson, Sanders and Barlow

Don't believe that this is a stronger team than last season yet. If he can commit to every Tue, Thurs and Sat Hall is a must. Maybe bring back Indy short term if he still unattached?

Agree with that team apart from playing Gledhill instead of Vince .

[Shauneyg]

my guess would be 3-5-2

gledhill

garner
pidge
reynolds

mcghee
steer
meadows
marshall
hollingsworth

felix
southwell

we are certainly short on strikers at the min and as it looks like mills is gonna be banned I would say mcghee to cover at wing back,was fantastic while filling in at right back last season and felix to partner southwell. He could really trouble the barrow defence with his pace.

[father Ted]

  Presumably Steer is left wb and Hollinsgworth in centre .Sanders could be used wide and late..but in reality we are screaming out for  a fresh striker ..

[Pilgrim86]

Galinski is the only real option at right back now.

Steer can play right-back, and Reynolds at left-back. Hollingsworth played quite a bit for Forest U18s at right-back, too. We have plenty of versatility in the squad.

[Carl Newell]

Felix is suspended for the first two games of the season which is a big blow, Mills is expected to be available Sat and out away next Tue against Brackley.

[B Grimes]

I think he will play 3-5-2
Vince

Reynolds
Pidge
Watson

Steer/Mills

Marshall
Meadows
McGhee

Garner/Southwell

[green hats mate]

                                             Gledhill (subject to clearance)

Mills        Garner            Reynolds            Pidge                Steer

     Meadows            Marshall              Hollingsworth (or  Barlow)

              Mcghee                Southwell.

[Pilgrim86]

Vince
Watson, Piergianni, Reynolds
Mills, Meadows, Marshall, Steer
McGhee
Southwell, Garner

[Carl Newell]

Like that line up P86. Could be a very tight match. Can't see either side conceding many goals this season as both have good defenders although we look light up front but may get away without needing anyone else if Felix comes good and Newsham is back to his old self soon. Also Dowie being out for 2 or 3 weeks is better than 4 to 6 weeks.
