The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Immensely bored on this Saturday morning! Got me thinking, how are we likely to line-up on the first game of the season, bearing in mind who we've signed/are rumoured to be signing?!

Here's my attempt.....



Roberts

Miller Osano Stuart Robinson

Power Porter Day

Cook O'Connor Tomlin



Subs.
Day
Corcoran
Keehan
Farrell
Charles

I'd go for that, but with Farrell in place of O'Connor. Not sure he'd really work in that position.

Roberts
Miller Osano Stuart Day
Power Johnson Porter
O'Connor (New Striker) Tomlin

..............Roberts

Miller...Osano...Stuart...Day

............Edit: Huke

.........Porter....Power

Cook.....................Tomlin

.............Farrell

Bench: Day, Corcoran, Keehan, O'Connor, Charles

I completely forgot about Huke to begin with! :oops: (Assuming he does re-sign.)

4-3-3

Roberts

Miller Osano Stuart Day

Huke

Porter Power

O'Connor Tomlin

Farrell

4-4-2

Roberts

Miller Osano Stuart Robinson

Tomlin Huke Porter Day

O'Connor Farrell


Tbh, these are just some of the possible line ups we could have, great thing so far is the number of options that are available for JE, depending upon the opponent.

I'll be interested to see who is the first choice left back this coming season. Robbo's served us well since he arrived and is one of the best left backs in the division and Day undoubtedly brings a good pedigree. It could well have a lot to do with formation.

Roberts

Robinson Miller Stuart Osano

Day Huke Porter Tomlin

Charles O'Connor

I couldn't make an educated guess until i've seen the new players in action. One thing i will say though, is that we'll play 4-3-3. We lost 3 times since december playing that formation and hardly anyone could cope with it.

Use a 0-0-10 formation, and attack attack attack!!
