What would your starting XI be V Thrapston?

Post by BartonRaz »

I know there's a couple of weeks left until the first game, but I think we've got a good idea of the squad. From what you've seen so far, what would your starting XI be against Thrapston? For me:


.......................................Shorunmu........................................

Merrill................Hope.......................McDonald...................Brown

Wisniewski...............Johnston..............Dent...................Okechukwu

.........................Elwood........................Taylor..........................


I'm assuming Broadbent is going back to University in September so wouldn't be here long term, but that said i've been really impressed with Quincy's shot stopping. Haven't seen enough of Brady and Soetan to pass judgement on them.

I have just returned from the D&D after finishing off the concreting down the Premier Inn side of the ground.

There were about 15 people there watching 8-)

Decent crowd for concreting though Bob, it doesn't have the fan base of brick laying or roof tiling, you'd expect at least thirty for those two.

I'm thinking of doing some carpentry might get at least 30 people out to watch that, especially as there is always the chance of a cut finger 8-)

I see we have a benchmark re: our hosts - they beat Thrapston 3-0 today, be nice to beat that eh? ;)

Try pegging out shuttering as a sport Bob, I managed to mangle my finger doing that by hitting it with a sledgehammer - still not right 5 weeks later, great entertainment...............well, it made Dunk laugh :lol:

I am to DIY what Gordon Brown is/was to prudent financial management :D
