Our Strongest 11

[Belcher_3]

Reading other threads/posts there seems to be an ongoing theme, that AS doesn't know his strongest starting eleven.

what i propose is...

Posters name their strongest starting 11 on current form with current injuries
and 5 (i know more are alowed but it makes it easier to work out) subs

on friday or saturday i'll go through all the teams, and work out, by number of picks for each position and announce the favoured 11, picked by position, by yourselves. Then compare it to the 11 that start against Tranmere, to see the difference between our strongest, and AS's

If One player is picked in two position, they will go to the position they are picked more for, (eg Sam Wood 5 picks left mid 10 picks right mid) would start right mid, if nobody else got more picks then he did.

5 subs one keeper, one defender, one midfielder, one striker and one other from any position.

442 would be the easiest formation, and if everyone sticks to that it makes it easier to work out

Feel free to shoot me down, but i thought it would be an interesting comparison!

I would like to see what Spillane could do in the middle of the park but wouldn't really trust anyone else at right back.

[I'll Bee Damned]

Beesfan is right when he/she says the supports don't even know the best XI. That said, we seem unanimous on the back 4 and about 50/50 on GK.

As we have to stick to 442:-

Lee

Spillane Pim KO Woodman

Adams Dave Wood Weston

Alexander Mac

Hamer, KOC, Forster, Crackers, Hunt

My ideal would be (no injuries)

Lee

Spillane Pim KO Woodman

i don't get this 'strongest' xi nonsense. yes i know we were muscled out by oldham a few times but strength is only one aspect of football. i'd be more interested in what our best xi is.

strictly from bbc news text updates and a few comments on the 'big match' thread here, oh, plus the penalties i've seen on youtube, i'd go for...

1. lee
2. spillane
3. woodman
4. osborne
5. pim
6. dave (defensive cent mid)
7. get a new right midfielder in on loan
8. forster (behind the front two) of...
9. alexander
10. macdonald
11. weston

Reading other threads/posts there seems to be an ongoing theme, that AS doesn't know his strongest starting eleven.

How many times in the league has AS deviated from this XI except for injuries?

Hamer
Spillane Osborne Pim Woodman
Simpson Kev Dave Weston
McDonald Alexander

I'm sure many would debate a few of his choices, but I don't agree that Scott doesn't have a first XI in his mind.

That still leaves Saunders, McCracken, Cort, Moore, Hudson, who can`t even get on subs bench!!

Said it before.....too many "first team" players!!

Good luck with this...........sounds a tad complicated..........results could be interesting though.......well done.

Ok ladies and gents

no real suprises really, and with the loss of Nicky Adams, i've had to ignore the votes for him, so this does effect the result...

Lee only just edged Hamer, it was very very close
the back four were prety much 100% throughout everyones teams
Wood had the most votes for RM due to quite a few votes for Nicky Adams
Dave was a strong choice, and KOC shaded Bean then Hunt
Weston was always going to secure LM with a high score
Charlie and Gary were a quite comfortable pairing with Forster more favoured on the bench, maybe due to his injury situation

there were also votes for Cort / Simpson though both injured

Saunders and Grabban scored very very low, but again, due to the Nicky Adams situation


Now we will see how this compares to our team against Tranmere
Thank you to everyone who took part

Of all the options in central midfield I am puzzled why you would pick Bean.
He has been poor this season. At least Kev, Dave, Hunt et al have had their moments.
