....I'd personally say it is this now:
--------------------------------------Holy---------------------------
Vincent-Young----Woolfenden---Chambers----Garbutt
--------------------------------------Skuse--------------------------
--------------------------Downes----------Huws-----------------
--------------------------------------Nolan-------------------------
----------------------------Norwood------Jackson--------------
B team
---------------------------Norris------------------------
Donacien-----Nisala-------Wilson-------Kenlock
--------------------------Dozzell------------------------
Rowe-----------El Mizouni---------------Georgiou
--------------------------------Judge--------------------
----------------------------Keane------------------------
Plus - Dobra, Roberts, Edwards
Injured - Lankester, Bishop, Nydam, Sears
Depth is unbelievable, wonder if we will see any of those 29 genuine first teamers go out in January

Wouldn't say I would be convinced with Garbutt in a flat back four. |  |

With Skuse as a holding midfielder it almost becomes 3 at the back which should help | |

Where is Lanks in his recovery? Surely a good idea for him to have a loan once he is fit. |  |

Pretty much what I have been saying since before MK Dons. As usual plenty of people told me it was ridiculous. Skuse should be the cdm or 3rd defender because he can easily switch between the 2 and he is more comfortable on the ball. Nolan and Judge to compete for the CAM but Nolan gets in because he presses so much better high up the pitch. I still think a fully fit Keane is ahead of Jackson but obviously it is Jackson's place at the moment. |  |

I suspect if clubs came in for Donacien and Roberts on permanent moves, they would go. Georgiou to go back to Spurs in January as well maybe? Possible loan for El Mizouni? |  |

That's not what you've been saying. You've been saying Skuse should play in a back three. Nobody has disagreed with him playing in a holding role. When we played him in a back three against Tranmere we were gash and only improved with his move into midfield. |  |

F*** me I must have repeated 20 times about the formations being virtually identical and therefore interchangeable. You are just so desperate to disagree with everything and everyone that you lose sight of reality. | |

A fully fit Keane? Such a thing will never exist. | |

I'd agree with that.
Although I think that Dobra could be a valuable wild card in each of those XIs. Certainly, I think he should be in the matchday squad more often than not.
And yes, we probably need to send some out in January. Looks too many to keep happy and match fit so as the first XI becomes more and more clear then some should leave to play elsewhere.
Also I think we can add Morris to the injured list and a potential player. |  |

Fully fit Keane would replace Norwood. Jackson has the pace to get behind defenders and play off target man. |  | | |

The Tranmere game disagrees that they are basically the same. | |

Possibly but I think we'd need to play a different style for that. Keane isn't a target man and he needs the ball to feet.
But I do think that's the next stage of development for this team so we can really compete if and when we go up. | |

I think Keane is/could be pretty good as a target man.
Not as good as Murphy was but I think that he is good at either receiving and controlling the ball with his back to goal, holding the ball up and getting flick on's.
I think he is certainly the closest thing that we currently have to a competent target man. |  | | |

No way, pal. Norwood is a proper goalscorer and a pain in the butt for defenders.
Dont think weve seen him properly fit yet, but just look at the positions he takes up and his movement off the ball. he'll score loads when fully fit. Keane won't. |  |

Hold up man à la McGoldrick or a Pablo, yes. But if it's going in the air then Norwood is a lot better for that role IMO
For me, he just hasn't looked that effective last season and even against Gillingham on Tuesday when the ball is lumped up to him. | |

Norwood probably makes things more uncomfortable for his opponent than Keane does but as to actually winning headers I would say that Keane is the better of the two.
I have no idea how he looked on Tuesday to be honest because I am/was totally disinterested in that competition. | | | |

Not sure out strongest team would fit into a 4 at the back model. We have been set up to play 3 at the back because our recruitment was geared with that mind. Both Garbutt and Georgiou aren't flat back four defenders but are very good wingbacks. Skuse at this point in his career is a holding midfielder and for me lacks the legs to get around the whole pitch like he used to.
With that in mind our strongest team is
--------------------------------------------------Holy--------------------------------------
----------------------------Woolfenden-----Chambers--------Nisala----------------
Vincent Young -----------------------------------------------------------------Garbutt
-------------------------------------------------Skuse -------------------------------------
--------------------------------Downes-------------------Judge--------------------------
------------------------------Norwood-------------------Jackson-----------------------
Judge, Nolan, and Huws is really a who is currently in form and OR the opposition and their weakness. [Post edited 11 Oct 2019 15:23]

He looked good whenever he got into the game. But it was very rare as the bouncing balls or aerial stuff passed him by or he just couldn't do anything with them.
And a great finish when he had his one and only chance. Not sure he'd have had even that if it wasn't Dobra on the pitch with his ability to have the ball at his feet and pass it accurately and intelligently. | |

Who would be our reserve right back? Edwards? |  |

... that's my preferred line-up and it can't be far away with the form of Huws. I get the concern over Garbutt in defence in a 4 but skusecan sit deep and a CB come across. Plus we're only in League 1.
I do think El Mizouni, Rowe and Dobra are potentials for Nolan in certain games; or even Huws. I also think Dozzell should come in for Huws for the odd 20mins, to keep him developing.
I wouldn't want to be Accrington Stanley |  |

I would imagine so. Lets face it, Donacien hasn't even been making the bench recently. It's clear as day Lambert doesn't rate him, so I imagine at some point we'll have to cut our losses. | |
