Hiwula has a goal in him, but he goes missing far too often during games.No place for Jones?
I’d go:
Marosi
Dabo Rose McFadz Mason
Allen Kelly O’Hare
Jobello Godden Hiwula
S: Wilson, Pask, Hyam, Shipley, Kastaneer, Jones, Bakayoko
Hiwula over Kastaneer because his goal scoring record is great and he works for the team well. Also Kastaneer is clearly a super sub
Which is a shame because I fear he will then want to leave. There is no reason he shouldn't be playing after being player of the season last year in my opinion. He had a knock in preseason otherwise I think he would have started ahead of Rose.Hyam is probably not going to be first choice this season.

Weren’t we saying last year Hyam was one for the future and how he’d done well to be a starter. Hardly think he’s going to get pissed off he’s not first choice now. Long season he’ll get his chance.
Wouldn't really call being on the bench for a league one side week in, week out a bit part, especially at his age. He's an established member of the first team and Fadz/Rose won't play every game. I think he'll be pretty realistic about his chances and i have faith that MR can manage the squad well enough.But it must be hard to go from being a regular starter to a bit part. Having worked his way into the team he'll probably be a bit narked he's not in now. But like you I think he'll get his chance.
What’s with this ‘young Sam McCallum’ business? Oggy uses it on the radio like it’s his actual name, it never seems to be ‘young Will Bapaga’ or ‘young Josh Eccles’. Not having a go just one of them irritating things I’ve picked up on.Shippers, Zain and Hyam and young Sam McCallum will be close to that first team too. All will all be needed to add in to that original list and there will almost always be someone who is injured, suspended, loss of form or something else. I agree it might be Utopia, but we can never really assume all will be fit, firing and to take into account sometimes the best 11 players don't make the best team.
People keep saying this but I think Rose is the better player judging by pre season and the games so far.
Nothing against Hyam though.
Marosi
Dabo Rose McFadzean Mason
Allen Kelly O’Hare
Jobello Godden Kasteener
Wilson
Hyam
Pask
Shipley
Hiwula
Biamou
Jones
The starting 11 is harsh on Hiwula most of all (especially as I’ve always been a big advocate), but despite the fact he plays it well, I don’t think he’s a natural wide player. Plus Kasteener is supposed to be another level, so if true he has to start. I did debate dropping Jobello, but he has pace and (when confident) direct running ability, which is an asset at any level, especially L1.
I’m not a Bakayoko hater, but I’ve chosen Biamou over him as Biamou can play the link/target man role if we needed to change things tactics or formation wise. Whereas I’m still not sure what type of striker Bakayoko is.
It’s also harsh on Westbrooke but he isn’t a game changer from the bench, and while Shipley isn’t either he gets the place due to industry and experience.
Hyam is the other who can feel hard done by and for me Rose and him are interchangeable, but Rose currently holds the shirt.
Hiwula isn't playing as a wide player. Why is everybody so obsessed with traditional roles. Look at the runs Hiwula makes.

And he was our top scorer last season. Far too often teams leave their leading goal scorer on the bench because he doesn't track back or goes missing or whatever. We shouldn't make that mistake. The object of the game is to score goals so, for the moment, he has to start.Thats my criticism of Hiwula theres no doubting he aint bad at finishing but he goes missing too often for my liking, his work rate is poor at times having said that he is currently our top scorer
Starting tomorrowIts a long season. Hyam will get plenty of chances.
