Well, we need some more signings so it’s a bit hard to predict what the line-up will be – who knows which players are yet to arrive? For a start, we need a ‘keeper. We probably need a back-up right back and another striker to compete with Topp, Thorne and Conlon for a place in the starting line-up. The lack of a defensive-shield-type midfielder and an out-and-out left-winger is a bit worrying too.

New Keeper

          Arnison       Lee      Clarke      Heckingbottom

        Colbeck   Bullock   McLaren    Brandon/Nix

Thorne Topp

Subs: McLaughlin, Daley, Brandon/Nix, Bower, Conlon

I reckon this side is not too far from the one McCall might pick (not for the first two games, obviously – Colbeck is still suspended following his dismissal against the Football Franchise that is MK:Dons). McCall may well prefer Bower to Clarke and Daley to Colbeck in his first-choice team, but I reckon Clarke and Colbeck out-performed Daley and Bower last season so they should probably start in ‘pole position’.

If you disagree with my team selection, why not post your own in the comments below?
