So after last night's comfortable and at times, impressive performance.

Some of the players brought in IMO deserve to keep their place, Musaka, Veltman & Orford to mention a few IMO...

Would like to see Mayers/Veltman instead of Scarles, or as Luke mentioned KWP to move over, if capable.....Scarles just scares me...

1 thing I'm afraid to tell posters...we have the infamous :

Referee: Madley, Robert
Assistant Referee: Hatzidakis, Constantine
Assistant Referee: Brown, Conor
Fourth Official: Atkinson, Ben

Anyhow, let's hope last night's impressive showing can kick start what can be a fruitful season....

COYI.

    Hermansen / Veltman Mavropanos Kilman Scarles / Bowen Orford Engels Solomon / Mukasa / Taty

    That would be my preferred. If Mavropanos is injured then I guess Golambeckis, or Veltman inside with KWP at right back.

    I really like Orford, but I also think he and Engels seem quite similarly stylistically, so would rather we had a proper DM instead of forcing one of them to do it.

    Why we appear so keen to off load Alvarez, I don't understand.

    He doesn't want to be here.

    NES does not appear to give him support or game time to encourage him to want to stay.

    The rumour is that he is refusing to play.

    I agree Whitehorsehammer any player would feel unwanted and become disillussioned if the manager wasn't giving them game time when they genuinely felt they were good enough to merit a starting place. Magassa could fill the CDM role but his departure will mean we will need a replacement?

    I'm pretty sure Alvarez's disillusionment began long before Nuno got here. He was loaned out by Potter, after all. What's to say he didn't come back and go "you didn't want me as a club, then you got relegated, why would I stay?"

    I think if a player makes it clear they have no intention of playing the Championship (if that is in fact what's happened here), the right decision is to leave them out and try to get rid. If they end up staying you try to reintegrate.

    If Mavro is out still

    Hermansen
    Walker-Peters - Veltman - Kilman - Scarles
    Bowen - Engels - Orford - Solomon
    Mukasa
    Taty

    Herrick, Casey, Golambeckis, Mayers, Kanté, Magassa, Lamadrid, Ajala, Piroe

    Is what I expect we will see, otherwise i’d go KWP LB, Veltman RB & Mav at CB

    I also assume Pablo is still out & JWP won’t be included

    1-3 Irons

    I don't know why you are leaving Piroe out of that starting eleven?
