    The bench is that strong I couldn't even name it mate because i dont know who I'd leave out.
    Promotion is seriously in our hands now. No team can match a squad like ours as long as we can avoid another injury jinx

    That forward line alone is worth about 70-80m

    Couldn’t concentrate on the actual question because I immediately was drawn to thinking about the names that would be on the bench ( and even not making the bench !).

    Imagine how much itll improve us as a team when our players are competing against eachother daily in training and come matchday most of the teams we will be playing against have players that have nowhere near the quality they face in training

    Now there’s a knock on bonus I’d not thought about . - it could be contagious throughout the entire organisation . At this rate I’ll be happy to put the tea lady in central midfield !

    I'd have Cirkin ahead of Alese. And I've never seen Ekwah play so I'm not quite ready to crown him king of the world yet. But other than that I'd be happy (ish) with this side in the Premier League.

    We'd probably finish near the bottom mind :D

    When fit and flying I'd have Cirkin in but can't complain about the rest <laugh>

    This would be mine currently...

    ..................Patterson...................
    Hume....Ballard....Batth....Cirkin..
    ................Neil......Ba..................
    Roberts.........Diallo........Clarke...
    ....................Stewart....................

    Backup to that would be this...

    .......................Bass.....................
    Gooch....O'Nien....Wright....Alese
    ...............Ekwah....Michut.............
    Lihadji.......Pritchard......Bennette.
    ..................Gelhardt.....................

    Both two strong teams. If everyone else was fit, we'd have Huggins, Evans, and Embleton to find space for as well.

    Tough to name a bench even if you mixed and matched either team due to the quality on offer. That being said, if that first team was picked, my bench would currently be... Bass, O'Nien, Alese, Ekwah, Michut, Lihadji, Gelhardt.

    Jury is currently out on Gelhardt, he might be amazing, in which case, he'll have to displace one of Roberts, Diallo, or Clarke. Currently, Clarke is probably the one I'd drop based on current form.

    You seriously need a break from here mate and chill the feck out because right now you dont bring anything to the board other than negativity.

    Who are you to say I cant get excited about a signing from a Premiership team.
    Either pipe down or feck off from here because your digs are not welcome!!!

    Wonderful that mate.

    But some names stand out for me ...

    ... Roberts, Huggins, Evans, Pritchard, etc.

    All players we'd have prayed for a couple of years back.

    Boy has this club changed.

    Unreal mate. We had Scowen and Dobson in midfield a few year ago.
    I sense alot of exciting times ahead

    Halcyon days with those two ballers in midfield. <cool>

    Flanno, ozturk, de Bock, Loovens, mcFadzean at the back only 2 years ago. What a turnaround it's been. Absolutely bloody love it.
