The IMBD Blog Selected Team

Ok we had the Starting Line up sorted but let’s just clarify the sub positions for this afternoons game against Luton Town.

The Starting Line up with Squad Number is as follows

1. GK – James Pullen (1)
2. RB – Jay Conroy (2)
3. LB – Chris Hussey (3)
4. CB1 – Paul Lorraine (22)
5. CB2 – Ben Judge (6)
6. MD1 – Lewis Taylor (8)
7. MD2 – Derek Duncan (14)
8. MD3 – Elliott Godfrey (11)
9. MD4 – Steven Gregory (?)
10. ST1 – Danny Kedwell (10)
11. ST2 – Jon Main (9)

We originally went for a 4-4-2 formation and based on comments so far this week it appears that Jame Pullen, Chris Hussey & Derek Duncan will be starting th game.

With us selecting 1 Defender 1 Midfielder and 1 Striker on the bench we had two other positions available and you selected 1 Goal keeper and an extra midfielder so our subs are as follows: –

1. GK Sebb Brown The original poll said Jack Turner but it appears it will be Sebb
2. DF Luke Garrard (12)
3. MD Sam Hatton (7)
4. MD Ricky Wellard (17)
5. ST Luke Moore (?)

The one player of note from the line up is Brett Johnson and some people even think that he will start in defence. I wonder how well we will do.

1st Sub Midfielder

The midfielder sub could be the problem one but here goes. select who you think should be on the bench.

The current predicted Starting Line Up

We have now had votes on all the positions for the teams that we think Terry & Stuart will pick for the first game of the season, and if you listened to the recording of last nights meet the manager session you will know Terry issued a challenge to anybody that manages to predict the correct starting line up.

I’m going to leave the current votes open for the next few days in case people fancy changing selection.

The starting XI we have picked is as follows

• GK – James Pullen
• RB – Jay Conroy
• LB – Chris Hussey
• CB1 – Paul Lorraine
• CB2 – Ben Judge
• MD1 – Lewis Taylor
• MD2 – Derek Duncan
• MD3 – Elliott Godfrey
• MD4 – Steven Gregory
• ST1 – Danny Kedwell
• ST2 – Jon Main

The midfield was the hardest to sort out as in the 1st three slots Lewis Taylor was selected so what I did was take the highest person after anybody who previously had been selected had been removed, but looking at the four polls combined these four also got the highest votes.

Looking at a midfield formation we could have Lewis on the right of the four Duncan on the left with Gregory & Godfrey in the middle.

So are you pleased with the starting XI you have selected?  Would be interested to see peoples comments on it, are you suprised that anybody has been left out for example Luke Moore, Sam Hatton and is this formation flexible enough to go to a 4-3-3 formation.

Over the weekend we will look at the subs bench. taking the players who havent been selected so far.

Thanks for your input so far.
