Goalkeepers: Hahneman, Stack, Federici
Right Back: Murty, De La Cruz, Halls, Sodje, Osano
Left Back: Shorey, Hunt, Golbourne
Centre Back: Sonko, Ingimarsson, Bikey, Mate, Gunnarsson, Sodje
Right Midfield: Little, Seol, Oster, Halls, De La Cruz
Left Midfield: Convey, Hunt, Seol, Hayes
Centre Midfield: Sidwell, Harper, Bikey, Gunnarsson, IngimarssonMate
Centre Forward: Kitson, Lita, Doyle, Long, Seol, Cox

I have obviously only gone for first team players and excluded the younger players with little or no first team experience.

We seem to have good cover in most positions although left back and Central midfield look very weak to me. We are in need of another creative central midfielder.

Central defence now looks like our strongest position.

You've forgotten to put mate in midfield. he van play there as well.

Isn't Federici out on loan now?

So why is Cox on the list? Long has relatively little experience, Cox even less!

You also think Golbourne has more than 'little or no first team experience'? Maybe at Bristol City but that was at a considerably lower standard.

with our lack of Centre Midfielders, who says we have to play 4-4-2?

With our lack of strength in depth, who says we have to play 11 professionals!

[Coppell's Right Footed 11]

Am i the only one in thinking that we are considerably weak upfront??

Kitson appears to get injured frequently and with Lita having the GBH incident it looks like his future with the club could be in jeopardy. To be fair havent been impressed with Lita anyway and feel that up front is definately our weakest position

[brendywendy]

with tevez and mascherano going to wet sham???!!! (what on earth is going on)
any chance of us getting reo coker and harewood on loan for th eseason?

No some of us have been saying it for months.

We've now addressed the numbers situation at centre back and to a lesser extent centre midfield (defensively minded only) by bringing in Mate and Bikey. Now all we need is a creative midfielder and a centre forward and for those players who get a chance to prove that they are capable of winning us games at this level.

I'm not so worried about numbers now as I was a few weeks ago, but I'm still worried about the quality of the players we now have. It's going to be very interesting to see how we get on.

I wasn't concerned before Kits got injured. I thought it would take him a while longer to pick up his first premiership one. But now he is out and Lita is in trouble, we are looking woefully short upfornt. I just hope we can pull something out of the bag. But with Hammond babysitting Lita the other day we're at a disadvantage

You also think Golbourne has more than 'little or no first team experience'? Maybe at Bristol City but that was at a considerably lower standard.

I only added those players at the request of others on here.

As for for Mate in midfield - I am 99% certain that he will never play in that position for us. He is a central defender and I doubt he will be considered for any other psoitions.

Maybe I should put Kitson down for central defence as well?

I agree on Mate. But didn't Kits start off for Arlesly as a centreback?
