Barra at home. We all ready to be Pete Wild'd again?
No sign of us signing a striker so we'll have 26 shot attempts and fail to score.
I'm going for 0-0 draw or 0-1 Barra win :rolleyes:
So far we've completely controlled our way to a 1-0 defeat and a 2-1 defeat so I'm hoping Bradford come to town, give us the run around and we go away victorious!
We need to settle a back 3 that's going to stay nice and solid and not give away the kind of easy goals we've given away so far this...
Ben prepared to be in for a shock. He's a superb RCB of a 3. Strong, quick, reads the game well, carries the ball forward and has a decent cross on him.
Back end of last season as he got sharper he became a real menace down the middle. Not sure if this Richardson chap can play the right of a front 3, but i wouldn't play him in place of Tanto.
I think 3-5-2 suits us better personally, but i guess we'll see what DC goes with come 3pm Saturday!
I echo what's been said above. I'd expect Madden will become less of a starter as the season progresses. I'd expect our starting 2 up front (assuming Powell plays in the No10 role) would be Wootton and Oloafe.
I couldn't possibly predict the starting XI for Saturday. I suspect whatever to team...
Right then, this is where we're up to:
Goalkeepers
Ben Hinchliffe
Jordan Smith
Bobby Jones (Yth)
Defenders
Fraser Horsfall
Akil Wright
Ibou Touray
Kyle Knoyle
Ryan Rydel
Neill Bryne
Macauley Southam-Hales
Ethan Pye
Midfielders
Ryan Croasdale
Will Collar
Antoni Sarcevic
Callum Camps
Louie...
Next one in the door, Louis Barry on a season long loan.
Happy with this one. We've needed to add pace to the squad. Only really had Olaofe last season with proper blistering pace so the additions of Richardson and Barry will certainly help with that...
2 of those seasons spent scoring goals against plasterers and painters tbf.
165 goals in 400+ games (according to Wiki) throughout his career.
Perhaps one glorious season at Cambridge in the EFL was a fluke........because since then, he's be playing against teams like Kings Lynn, Maidstone...
We've confirmed the following:
Friday 7th July - Lincoln City (N - Spain)
Saturday 15th July - Altrincham (A)
Tues 18th July - Chester (A)
Saturday 22nd July - Huddersfield Town (H)
Friday 28th July - Blackburn Rovers (XI?) (H)
Saturday 29th July - Preston North End (H)
Expect the Blackburn...
It's interesting reading other people's opinions on players and how different they can be.
Joe Lewis on the whole is a pretty solid League 2 CB. He's an absolute unit with his strongest position being the centre of a back 3. Isn't amazing on the ball, but is good enough. Had a couple of MOTM...
Thanks for the heads up. Didn't know the tube was out of order tomorrow. Will need to alter travel plans.....
Need a win tomorrow to stand any chance of autos but even then it requires help from elsewhere. Also a win will pretty much guarantee a play off place which considering after 10 games...
