Barring maybe the front two, that would be team that on the whole looks like it could really work together.

I was thinking something similar and wondered how well that team would do against decent opposition. Would you fancy it to beat most teams in Division Two, some in Division One and maybe a weaker Championship side?

I agree with the comment about the front two, much as I love Parkin and rate Akinde, I would want forwards who are a little more mobile. I might be a bit biased, as he used to play for us, but Matty Taylor might work well in that team...if they could keep the ball on the ground, but I'm not too sure who to partner him with.

Surprised Josh Payne didn't make the team.

Surprised Josh Payne didn't make the team.

That's what happens when you base the 'team of the year' on two games.

Why do you think Parkin and Akinde wouldn't work well together?

Why do you think Parkin and Akinde wouldn't work well together?

Because like half the defenders and keepers in the conference they think Akinde has no pace and get caught out.

Yep, over the course of the season I don't think Jack Mackreth would even be in the top 5 best right wingers in the league, he's had a really good spell which is obviously when he's caught the eye but for over half the season he's been bang average. Carl Magnay and Shaun Pearson should almost certainly be in this squad for being consistently solid under the radar.

Not that I'm complaining mind as the format is what it is and can't really be anything else, I think the selections are perfectly fine.

If supporters from different teams have voted, then it won't be just over two games.

EDIT - I usually get involved in this, but as said in another thread, I've only managed 6 games all season so kept out of it.

Not enough Luton in this team for me.

Plus Lady Vale won't be happy to see Stuart Tomlinson misses out on the keepers jersey.
