Looks good enough for a top 7 position to me. A load of proven, solid Conference level players in there.

I'd be looking to play Kelly as far up the pitch as possible behind Boden. In Wedgbury and Hurst we've hopefully got the midfield battlers who will cover the ground in order to let Kelly play.

GOING FOR IT

 

[Moss Rose Silkmen]

GK: Shwan Jalal
RB: Jared Hodgkiss
CB: George Pilkington
CB: Keith Lowe
CB: Josh Thompson
LB: David Fitzpatrick
RM: Scott Burgess
CM: Courtney Richards
CM: Ryan Lloyd
LM: Mitch Hancox
ST: Scott Wilson

Subs: None

WE NOW HAVE 11 PLAYERS- Quick formation change.

 

[MTFC_07]

GK: Shwan Jalal
RB: Jared Hodgkiss
CB: George Pilkington
CB: Keith Lowe
CB: Josh Thompson
LB: David Fitzpatrick
RM: Scott Burgess
CM: Courtney Richards
CM: Ryan Lloyd
LM: Mitch Hancox
ST: Scott Wilson

Subs: None

WE NOW HAVE 11 PLAYERS- Quick formation change.

I reckon 7/8 of them will be in the starting XI at Wrexham in a month, with Richards and Thompson most likely to lose their places.

 

[heedarmy]

I have absolutely no idea.

Maybe something along the lines of

GK: James Montgomery
LB: Scott Barrow/ Jamal Fyfield
CB: Neil Byrne/ Fraser Horsfall
CB: Danny Burns/ James Bolton
RB: James Bolton/ Neil Byrne
CM: Robbie Tinkler/Kieran Green/JJ O'Donnell/ Wes York/Luke Hannant
CM: Paddy McLaughlin
CM: Russell Penn
LW/RW: JJ/York/ Richard Peniket/Luke Hannant/Jordan Preston/ Macauley Langstaff/ Danny Johnson
ST: Peniket/Burrow/Johnson/Langstaff

Which leaves
Dan Hanford
Jon Mellish
Tom White
Nyall Bell (On loan at Chester)

If you can't tell I have no idea what the team is going to be next year, a lot of young unknown players in there for me. With an average squad age of 23 i can't see us pushing too high up the table this year to be honest

 

[Master D]

I reckon 7/8 of them will be in the starting XI at Wrexham in a month, with Richards and Thompson most likely to lose their places.

Our starting XI or yours?

 

[MTFC_07]

Our starting XI or yours?

Give it 12 months!

 

[doveranddover]

We only have

GK-Walker

CB - Parry
CB - Essam
FB - Ilesanmi

MID - Brundle

ST - Richards
ST - Allen
ST - Silva
ST - Bird

who might be in the 1st 11 & at least 1 forward wont play
still a long way short

 

[Except The Lord]

Halifax will probably line up something like this

GK- Sam Johnson
RB- Kevin Roberts
CB- Matty Brown
CB- Scott Garner
CB- Martin Riley
LB- Josh Wilde
CM- David Lynch
CM- Connor Oliver
RW- Matty Kosylo
LW- Scott McManus
ST- Adam Morgan

Subs from Josh MacDonald, Cliff Moyo, Nathan Hotte, Bohan Dixon, Tom Denton and hopefully 2 or 3 new signings

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Dixon (not been offered a contract yet)

RB (TBA)
Diarra
Dan Jones
LB (Anderton is off, so TBA)

Harvey
Gomis
Hall

Harrison
Bennett
Bauress

So a few gaps, and I might be wrong with the formation as 4-4-2 and 5-3-2 have also been used regularly too.

Subs:
White (Fwd)
Hughes (mid)
Panayiatou (Fwd)

To update this, we now have an XI:

Stuart Moore

Thierry Audel
Jimmy Dunne
Moussa Diarra
Dan Jones

David Fitzpatrick
Bedsente Gomis
Asa Hall
Alex Ray Harvey
Brad Bauress

Richie Bennett

Subs:
Byron Harrison (injured)
Jordan White
Harry Panayiotou
Liam Hughes
Dan Cockerline (injured)

Andy Parry*
Joel Dixon*
*Not contracted and both injured.

So realistically we're still 5/6 players short, with three defenders, a midfielder and a winger needed.

 

[E10rifle]

Starting to come together a little bit...

GK Sam Sargeant (yoof)
DR Jake Caprice
DL Joe Widdowson
DC Michael Clark (yoof)
DC George Elokobi
MR Alex Lawless
ML Josh Koroma (yoof)
MC Steven Alzate (yoof)
MC Charlie Lee
FC David Mooney
FC Macaulay Bonne

Subs from
GK Charlie Grainger (yoof)
DR Myles Judd (yoof)
DL Christian Scales
DC Aron Pollock (yoof)
DC Dan Happe (yoof)
MC Henry Ochieng (yoof)
MC Charley Barker (yoof)
ML Rian MacLean (yoof)
FC Sam Dalby (yoof)
FC Tristram Abrahams (yoof)

Of the kids, the Alzate, Koroma, Clark, Judd and Abrahams are all probably ready to start games semi-regularly at this level. Mildly worried about the keeper situation.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Koroma and Alzate yeah, Clark meh, Judd needs to sort his stamina out before he's starting but is probs good enough really, Abrahams I think I've seen once so will default to you on that. Keeper situation won't be changing until an emergency loan in October I reckon. Lawless was also probably signed as a cm I reckon so bring in a starting winger.

For the record with what we have, I'd go:

----------------------Mooney
------------Bonne - Alzate - Koroma
------------------Lee - Lawless
Widdowson - Elokobi - Clark - Caprice
-------------------------Whoever

I quite like the idea of a Lee-Lawless-Alzate triangle.

 

[WAY22]

Our starting line-up is already looking pretty clear cut

Worsnop

Law
Whittle
Bencherif
Parslow

Moke
Newton
Heslop

Parkin
Morgan-Smith
Almond

 

[Impish]

Parkin and Almond will run riot in that league. Such a strong division now though NLN nothing's certain but that's a very strong side!

Just out of interest what's parkin's fitness like (I don't just mean weight)? Can he play every min of every game or is it more of an approach that you saw taken with Rhead at Lincoln last season where he is given time to recover? He'd be hard to replace if he's not in the team for whatever reason.

I think he's trusted to do whatever level of training he feels is right, the main thing obviously being he's good to go on matchdays.
I'd have to look through our match reports, but he played plenty of full 90 mins if I recall. Certainly the last 5 games of the season which is all I can be bothered to check...

Parkin only missed a couple games and that was only down to 3G pitch (Harlow & Sutton) and a 1 game suspension since arriving end November,he played at least 80 mins in rest.
Talked to a few players,all Said him & Mills are main reason why they all resigned.

Parkin missed 3 games since joining end of November only,1 down to suspension and other 2 due to 3G pitches so rules Harrogate out this season.
Rest of games did at least 80 mins and most full game.

Rhead wasn't under any special training routine. He trained as much as anyone else.

 

[Luke Imp]

Tranmere, Dagenham and Wrexham looking strong.

My money went on the latter two. Tranmere's odds were too short to put anything on.

 

[Soup Ladle]

As an update on ours, the keeper and defence are pretty much as I'd expect us to line up against Dover

Scott Loach

Carl Magnay
Louis Laing
Scott Harrison
Blair Adams

The midfield is anyone's guess. The following are all in with a massive shout of a first XI place:

Nicky Featherstone
Jack Munns
Nicky Deverdics
Michael Woods
Luke George
Liam Donnelly
Ryan Donaldson
Connor Newton
Lewis Hawkins

Up top i'd like to see

Padraig Amond
Devante Rodney

But we'll get:

Padraig Amond
Jake Cassidy.

So keeper/defence and strikers are sorted but the midfield, I actually haven't got a clue who I'd start except for Munns and Donaldson, the others might as well be in a raffle.

 

[Master D]

Updated again with the (hopefully) incoming Akil Wright and the fact it now seems as though we'll play a 4-4-2.

Dunn

Carrington
Manny
Pearson
J. Jennings

Mackreth
Akil Wright
Wedgbury
Kelly

Holroyd
Boden

 

[Joseph Smith]

Gk. Vaughan or new GK

Rb Green
Cb. kettle
Cb. New guy needed
Lb Thomas

Cm Carter
Cm Maye
Cm Carline

Lw. Hylton
Rw. Murombedzi

Cf. Afolyan

Subject to change I'm sure.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Parkin missed 3 games since joining end of November only,1 down to suspension and other 2 due to 3G pitches so rules Harrogate out this season.
Rest of games did at least 80 mins and most full game.

And Tamworth as they play on 3G.

[MWS]

Going off pre-season games so far we're probably going to line up:

GK Ben Hinchliffe
RB Sam Minihan
CB Michael Clarke
CB Stephen O'Halloran/Chris Smalley
LB Connor Hampson
CM Harry Winter
CM Sam Walker
AMR Jimmy Ball
AMC Matty Warburton
AML Darren Stephenson
STK Jason Oswell

 

[wilsontown]

Parkin played 120 mins at Lincoln in the Trophy and played the vast majority of the game the following Tuesday night. I think his fitness levels are fine, and his game isn't based around physical fitness anyway.

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

LM: Ryan Lloyd
ST: Scott Wilson

Subs:
CB: Josh Thompson
CM: Scott Burgess

In my opinion, based on Saturday there's no way Richards should start over Burgess, though they're different styles I'd have Burgess alongside a defensively orientated Hancox in CM.

 

[MTFC_07]

In my opinion, based on Saturday there's no way Richards should start over Burgess, though they're different styles I'd have Burgess alongside a defensively orientated Hancox in CM.

Burgess was our best player on Saturday, and on the basis of that, should start. However, I thought Richards played well, and broke up the play more effectively than anyone did last season, and therefore I'd put Hancox on the bench and play Richards and Burgess.
