If there are no new signings by the weekend, it's my guess that the starting 11 for Birmingham will already be in the building, so here's my guess.
Palmer,
Johnson, O'Shea, Greaves, Davis
Matusiwa, Humphreys
Clarke, Szmodics, Philogene
Hirst
Subs: Walton, Clarke, Kipre, Taylor, Chaplin, Al-Hamadi, Broadhead
That leaves Townsend, Woolfenden, Baggott, Muric, Ogbene, Button out of the 18.
I'm sure that many will see it differently though. Obviously assumes Hutchinson and Morsy departing.
Does rather expose our limited options in midfield and up top [Post edited 21 Jul 20:32]

I would be surprised if Humphreys starts but you never know. |  |

Humphreys won't start IMO |  |

7 subs or 9 in the Championship? |  |

Don't forget about Broadhead =) |  | | |

You're missing Broadhead too
Is your starting 11 better than our champ promotion team? I would say it is
But a new CM and no9 would certainly up the overall quality of the squad | | | |

Wouldn’t agree with that team, but it shows how much work there is to be done, if you compare to the game that finished the Championship season.
Palmer > Hladky - Palmer
Johnson > Tuanzebe - Tuanzebe
O’Shea > Woolfenden - O’Shea
Greaves > Burgess - Burgess
Davis > Davis - Unchanged
Matusiwa > Morsy - Unknown but will be tough to replace Samy.
Humphreys > Luongo - Luongo
J.Clarke > Burns - Burns
Szmodics > Chaplin - very similar, but would edge Szmodics
Philogene > Hutchinson - Hutchinson
Hirst > Hirst - Unchanged
So we have certainly upgraded in 2/3 areas, up for debate in a couple, definitely haven’t in some, and unchanged in others. Probably a reflection that we probably haven’t developed as well as we could have since our promotion. |  | | |

IF we didn’t add anyone else I’d make that about right with the exception of Humphreys, I don’t think he starts ahead of Taylor.
Personally I’d start Broadhead as well, can’t decide who for though.
Think it’s a bit of a moot point though, I’d expect at least 2 more through the door before the opener. |  | | |

I think there will be a few mor e in both before August 8th and after but those that come before will need some bedding in and I can't seem them starti g the first game if they're not here by the weekend. | |

Can Townsend play at RB as well as LB? Because I wouldn't leave him out of the 18 in preference to Clarke. |  |

I don’t know that Jaden or Clarke have earned a starting spot right now but we’ve invested the cash and we will therefore seek to get the most from them as we know they should be high performing at champ level. I would start with Broadhead on the left and Jaden on the right at this moment in time. It would give the balance of knowing Clarke is a high quality finisher and Ogbene can do the same finisher role on the other side. I hope Clarke could claim the left side as his own in a short space of time. I know you could say Broadhead can be finisher but let Clarke have a go at a tiring defence to start with. | |

Where’s Davis? |
I'm still not sure he'll stay.
Hopefully does. But I just can't see how his attacking qualities will be ignored by lower prem sides who have solid defences but need a flying wingback. | |

Can’t see us losing Davis & Hutchinson. Davis would be very attractive from a PSR perspective as a departure I’m sure, but I doubt we would be willing to lose both of them. | | | |

I still have bad dreams about some of Philogene's performances last season, especially on the right hand side, so I hope Ogbene is fit and can be that natural Burns replacement.
I want Chaplin in there for some continuity and leadership, and Clarke has slightly more credit in the bank than the other left side options after last season - he looked painfully lightweight early on and ultimately didn't look PL ready, but he finished well and like many have said, he could rip the league apart. |  |

Humphries won't start. I'd put Kipre in. | | | |

I think you're right other than Humphreys, I can't see him starting ahead of Taylor. |  |

| Starting 11 for opening game on 11:51 - Jul 22 with 1246 views | ITFCson |
If fully fit then for me Chaplin should 100% be in. Also Broadhead too | | | |
| Starting 11 for opening game on 11:54 - Jul 22 with 1229 views | TRUE_BLUE123 |
If we have to start Taylor or Humphreys away at Birmingham I think I might pass out.
We cannot go in that unprepared surely. |  |
