Sterling rotates in at RB/RW. Kelly with one of the two CM spots. Allassani at LW/ST.

 

[skybluesam66]

Looking strong at the moment
Need to keep Mcnulty
If we sell Bayliss - need to loan him back

Think I’d go

Andreu
McNulty

Then bring allesani on in left mid late on to tear them apart.
Also if McNulty can’t cope on his own up too with Andreu just behind then could put JCH on for Andreu push him up then push Bayliss up a bit more advanced

 

[covcity4life]

Greatbrhifn about having same squad as last year still is we can integrate new players slowly if required

 

[Winny the Bish]

Mad that we can play the Starting XI of the team that got promoted last season and then bring on the pace of Jodi, Allassani and Sterling in the 60th minute if we're struggling.

 

[Magwitch]

Hyam will play for definite, the more I look at the squad it looks to me he could go three at the back and wing backs at the star of games and can tweet things. I’ve not known us have so many potential different permutations should baffle the opposition

[shmmeee]

Anyone who thinks Grimmer will start ahead of Sterling is mad IMO. The kids on the verge of Chelsea team and an England youth player.

 

[wingy]

If Bayliss doesn't feel he'll be a significant cog this season do we think he'll bide his time ?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Anyone who thinks Grimmer will start ahead of Sterling is mad IMO. The kids on the verge of Chelsea team and an England youth player.

I love Jack Grimmer, and think he may keep his place with Sterling marauding ahead of him on the right wing. Long tough season, so great to have that quality available. Really excited how strong we are looking and how different to when we were last in L1.

 

[Gibbo]

Burge
Sterling Davies Willis Brown
Bayliss Andreu Ogogo Jones
McNulty JCH

or maybe Grimmer for Sterling and Sterling for Bayliss and sell Bayliss

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Can’t beiieve Robins won’t have lined up a keeper

 

[matesx]

Bloody hell we have a strong squad for League One. Plenty of quality on the bench for a long hard season.

 

[CovInEssex]

I don’t know about robins but even I’ve got a selection headache here

 

[larry_david]

I want some contract extensions please

 

[Skybluefaz]

A great start to the season seeing all these promising players come in. We're on a definite upwards curve. Bring in a bit of an eyebrow raising forward and I'll be full on expecting promotion.

 

[Esoterica]

Burge
Sterling Hyam Davies Brown
Kelly Ogogo
Jones Andreu Shipley
McNulty

Subs: LOB, Grimmer, Stokes, McDonald, Doyle, Biamou, JCH

Expecting Bayliss and Willis to leave for fees, Ponti out on loan to L2
Try and move on Beavon, LOB, Vincenti.
Bring in another GK
Bosma and Allassani to start the season in the U23s

 

[CovInEssex]

Seems kind of weird pushing players - who were key in our promotion - to the bench, when they've done everything asked of them. Such is football I guess.

And all the subs are Gary Breen

Not really an advocate of 352 but city could play it similar to England with Grimmer dropping into a back 3 ala Walker.

I'm assuming that Bayliss will leave.

Had the same thought myself earlier. Don't think it suits us otherwise though

 

[rob9872]

Jones and Andreu in all your teams but after a season out I'm guessing one of them either won't get straight back to form or fitness and no guarantee they'll completely get back. Knee injuries notoriously difficult to return from. Hope I'm wrong but certainly got some options.

Even before our business is concluded, picking a matchday XI is already very difficult, and players who were crucial in L2 will have reduced roles in L1. For example, Grimmer was a mainstay in L2, but Sterling starts for us L1.

I like the look of our team a lot.

 

[CovInEssex]

Who's names are already on the team sheet?
McN, Burge, Bayliss, Willis? Ogogo drops straight in, surely?

This is fucking hard
