    I'm intrigued by how we're going to set up this season and how the new players might fit in.
    If we go with last seasons 3-4-3 I can visualise:
    McCracken
    Baldwin J Wright Gillesphey
    Neufville Connolly Cartwright T Wright
    Phillips Beesely Pointon
    But that means no spot for Sarcevic or Jackson

    Alternatively, we could play a 5-2-1-2 thus:
    McCracken
    Neufville Baldwin J Wright Gillesphey T Wright
    Connolly Cartwright
    Phillips
    Jackson Beesely
    But that means no place for Sarcevic or Pointon

    Another option might be 4-2-1-3:
    McCracken
    Neufville Baldwin Gillesphey Touray
    Connolly Cartwright
    Phillips
    Jackson Beesely Pointon
    Again, no Sarcevic or T Wright

    Loads of possibilities and much may change before the season starts but it seems quite likely that one or more well regarded players will miss out on a starting spot. I can't see us not playing Jackson but in that case where does Phillips fit in? Does Sarcevic fit in anywhere? Would we dare to not play Bobby, and is wide left the only place he can play?
    As I say, intriguing.

    You're missing the option of square pegs in round holes. That should get the names we need some game time
