I seriously cant remember more than a handful from what was almost a perfect season dread to think how he'd do in a side struggling, considering hes not even played since he left us

Arnold
Waterfall - Sadler - Beckles
- Grant - B.Morris -
Edwards - Docherty - Norburn
- Okenabirhie - C.Morris -
Jesting a little, christ that side would score some goals though! (And probably conceed a few as well!)

A team with no fullbacks and no wingbacks is quite ambitious. If RW shares your ambition I reckon we'd be National League Champions in 20/21.

Grant, Docherty, Edwards and Whalley. Grant and Docherty are a shoe in. If Edwards can bring any sort of form then he should be starting and we all know Whalley is a very real threat on his day (when he's back to fitness of course). That's, on paper, who I would like to see across the middle. Whether that will work in practice however, I have no idea.

Docherty's form as dropped over the last few games (ever since their was speculation of a recall). He has not offered any more than Norburn, as he isn't our player I think he'd be the first to be dropped. I also doubt we will see much of laurent once Whalley and Edwards are back fit.

My team:
Arnold
Bolton Waterfall Sadler Haynes
Edwards Grant Docherty
Whalley Ahmadi-Holloway Gillead
The team needs more width in my view and with Whalley now fit, we need to make use of him.

Why are people expecting Dave Edwards, who has just come back from a serious injury and who has not played a competitive game for eight months, to feature in our starting XI so soon?

I would expect Dave Edwards to be used as a sub for the next four or five games to get him match fit. Laurent's place will probably be under most pressure from DE and Whalley will be back soon too. Expect more rotation due to greater depth in squad, injuries, suspensions and tirednes. We've really missed WhalLey and he'll be like a new signing when he returns.

He featured on the bench for Reading in December so he can’t be too far off fitness. Wouldn’t expect him to start just yet but has to be close seeing as Laurent has been industrious but fairly inaffective recently.

Can't see the manager dropping our record signing. Also, I find it baffling how people many suggest a line up without our top scorer.

Agreed. I got shot down for suggesting Morris wasn't all that. You got shot down for suggesting Holloway was better than Morris Morris is far better than AAH, Angol & LJL. A fit Carlton Morris up top with Fejiri would cause issues for most defences in our league, especially with the potential creativity of the midfield in behind them.

You’re preaching to the choir here poppet. You should be shoving this message loud and clear into pughy’s orifices / PMs.

Is Carlton Morris fit now?
If he is, and I was SR, I'd be doing everything in my power to bring him in.

There are two options for me. We either shoe horn out best players into a starting 11 or pick a balanced formation and pick the best players for that position, accepting some of our best players will not start.
For me I think it’s best to start with a new formation/ team next season.
This season may be about making best use of the resources we have. So I would keep the diamond and play.
Arnold
Haynes Sadler Waterfall Bolton
Grant Norburn Edwards Docherty
Whalley Okenbihrie
And keep the ball in the floor.

I did say we would have to keep the ball on the floor. I had no intention of picking that team and then telling Arnold to hoof it long. It needs to be rolled out and the ball kept. Defenders need to clear over fullbacks not down the middle. I am certainly not saying it’s perfect, just makes use of our best players.

The system below probably fits best. Ricketts won't play it, but i think that's what i'd play with the players available:
Arnold Bolton - Waterfall - Sadler - Haynes Grant - Norburn/Morris Whalley - Edwards/Laurent - Docherty Fejiri
The Edwards/Laurent depends on the fitness of Edwards as he'll offer a lot more than Laurent. I doubt Morris will stay, seems like he'll be off, but his name is there as option if he didn't go, i think he has something to offer.

If i was Ricketts, the system below probably fits best. Well you aren’t Ricketts. So what system fits best in that case? Honestly you silly billy! “Assuming the earth is flat we should play a 4-2-3-1” - martinshrew, 2019
