Line up for first game

Post by sussexdiamond »

The keeper has to be Snedker, Garwood, Collard, Dolman, Warburton. Upfront I would like to see Smith and Jones form a partnership. Of midfield it is much more difficult, I think Slinn and Diamond are certs but the other two are anybodies guess Dias, Dummett, Tshikuna, FBT, NGT, Akubine, Gyasi,

Agree with keeper & back 4. Diaz to start with FBT. Jesse on right, Joel on left(not his favourite position, but our best option as we don't have a definite left sided attacker), Diamond behind Smith (guessing no Tom at mo due to new arrival)

Fairly straightforward for me (Casey or Hughes to come in if Bully’s still struggling)…

Snedker
Garwood Collard Dolman Warburton
Dias Bell-Toxtle Akubuine
Gyasi Smith Diamond

'Keeper and the back four picks itself if everyone is fit. If Dolman is out then I'd expect Patrick Casey to replace him on the strength of his performances last season.

Midfield looks like a bit of a problem to me. I don't think we've got enough wide options personally and in the middle I think you'd have to go for a 3 because I think Slinn will need to play in a deep role for our tough early fixtures. Probably Akubuine and Dias ahead of him for my money but I haven't seen enough of Dummett to make an informed opinion on him.

Up top if it's 1 I'd expect it to be either Smith or Lorraine. If it's 2 then Diamond alongside one or the other. I would be surprised if Jones was considered for a start despite his excellent pre-season form.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

...............Snedker

Garwood Collard Dolman Warburton

Bell-Toxtle.......Dias..... Akubuine

..................Diamond
..........Gyasi ..........Smith
I'd select the same group of players, just with Diamond playing in a diamond formation, in the centre just behind the front two
