Spine of the Team

[wiseoldmagpie]

If we take GK, CBs, CMs and CF as the spine mine would be:

GK not sure yet

CBs Turner, Bird

CMs O'Brien, Booty

CF Dennis

Some rotation of course, but these are my first choice starters.

Thoughts?

I think Slocombe is pretty much nailed on for the GK spot.

The only other change I'd make is Bird for Rawlinson.

I think you are right re GK - I am just not sure whether Slocombe is an upgrade on Fitz - hope he proves me wrong!

Would agree , but unfortunately of that spine, realistically you can only really count on him picking GK , Turner & Doyle.

Everyone else seems rotatable.

Ardley's got neat handwriting hasn't he!

After many years typing on keyboards, my handwriting looks like a drunken spider.

We'll no longer be called the magpies. It's being changed to invertebrates
