Fancy this line-up on opening day...

[StarterForTen]

A 3-4-1-2 formation...

Carson in goal;
Back three of (r to l): Keogh, Pearce, Shackell;
Midfield of Christie, Thorne, Hughes, Forsyth
Tom Ince playing 'in the hole';
Darren Bent and Chris Martin up top.


Might be a tad too open of course, but hey, we'll just win every game 4-3!!

[ManxRam]

If we line up with Keogh, Christie and Forsyth on the opening day it will have been a poor summer!

So no place for Bryson and Hendrick dream on by the way I will be surprised if Hughes is still with us on opening day someone is going to have to pay for these signings

Mel Morris?

The allowable losses have gone up by 8 million, giving us 9 million extra losses available. When you take out heavy depreciation over the last few years, add in stadium naming rights, increased season ticket sales etc, then i think we could afford all of who we are after.

A sensible person, though, would sell the likes of Shotton and Hendrick so we had a bit of breathing space going into January, or wages for loans in September.

All depends on how serious Mel is.

[Anywho]

No place for Weimann?

[PartTimeRam]

Grant
Keogh Shackell Pearce
Thorne
Hendrick Bryson
Hughes
Ince Martin Weimann


How's that for a slice of fried gold?

[mistaram]

Yes LTR that looks very good maybe swap Grant for Carson

[PartTimeRam]

I'm not too sure in regards to keepers if I'm honest. I really haven't seen Carson play for a while but I wouldn't say no to Grant playing. And it wouldn't surprise me to see him start the first league game anyway
