    Best Starting Eleven

    A simple thread. For a bit of fun I am trying to think at this moment in time, assuming every player is fit and available what my starting 11 would be.
    Here goes,
    Beadle
    Mellor McDonald Offord Uwakwe
    Agyei Robertson Colkett Long
    CBR Nevitt

    Not seen Beadle live but going on reputation only.
    I think with that team we might be able to score more than one goal every now and again, if we had two strong central midfielders I'd be more than happy.
    Waiting to be shot down.

    Okay, my starting XI

    Beadle
    Mellor O'Riordan Concrete Rod Uwakwe
    Agyei Offord Colkett
    CBR Nev Evans

    Haven't picked Long, coz wouldn't last the full 90

    Interesting selection....only 1 midfielder....and one that isn't a tackler at that!

    A little puzzled by the right back in centre mid?

    I can't select Beadle without seeing him play a minute for Crewe, so at present, if fit:

    Richards
    Mellor (but now Robertson unfortunately), McDonald, O'Riordan, Uwakwe
    Amoo, Offord, Colkett, Agyei
    CBR, Nevitt

    I've always thought Offord's best position will be screening centre mid, where his covering tackling could be used - though Thomas is in a bit of a dip at the moment, I suspect he will come back stronger.

    My mistake I meant Finnigan not Robertson, can't keep up with all these new names.
    A bit surprised that two of you have gone for Evans over Long presuming that they were both fully fit.

    Fair comment - put Offord in to do the tackling ...

    Best form of defence is attack - game plan, score one more than they do!
