Bench - Maxted, Wakefield, McCullough, Harper, Bennett, Paynter, Syers
We will have a decent team for Saturday, we can play a couple of the academy side against Rochdale and then we have a break where we will have more of an idea how strong that we will be for the rest of the season if there are boardroom changes, and additions to the squad, just be patient for now.

I fear the first three need a little more match experiance, being thrown into a chapionship side may be a little too soon for then.
Harper should have been offloaded in order to sign Wellens and the other three are the only ones i'd sub on to create and impact.

How would paying harpers contract up, give us money to sign wellens?
What's wrong with Forrester? How long is he out for?

I could possibly see PD playing Bennett in one of those CM berths to support Brown

That's a too attacking line up IMO we need Keegan in there since Fernandez is injured because he's got the discipline to just sit in front of the defence the other midfield players haven't. So I would stick with that team with Keegan replacing Copps and having Keegan and Furman as the two midfielders. I think Syers energy will be vital to make runs ahead of Brown to support him as he is more capable of making the bursts from midfield.
Has PD played them as a 4-1-4-1 / 4-3-3 in pre-season at all?
Am I correct in my thinking that Harper has appeared in all/most the pre-season friendlies? Much as most people on the forum, including myself, don't think a great deal about his ability these days, other than to stand and point, is he part of PD's plans for the starting XI? Just a thought, horrible as it seems!
I got that, but why are we still paying harper with the ammount of midfielders that are above him in the pecking order.
I think teams will be something like this.....

I'd go with that as well
Add another couple of loans and we'll be ok. Then when injuries start to bite in late October, we'll have De Val back to health all being well to slot in and dictate the pace in midfield. I predicted 18th ages ago and I'm sticking to my guns.

Late October! With such a small squad and us getting nothing from the referee's in this division we'll be getting nobbled from the off, I'd say that from our starting 11 a couple will be out with injuries in the first 4 or 5 games. Call me pessimistic if you like but just wait and see :ermm:

This I probably the way I'd go as well.
Rob's is a bit too attacking to start with but is something that could be changed to depending how the game goes.

Yep, that's my preferred line-up. We'll muller them, but can we convert the chances?
