Barring something major happening I can't see the team being anything other than:

 

............Lainton

.... Wilson Kay Smith Gunning

..Harness Tonge Pugh De Freitas

...........Pope Pike

 

Agreed with a few people this is the most likely & probably one of the best we can go with right now, with Montano injured. Need another CM at least though asap, slow centre.

I don't think Brown would do that though.

 

I get the impression Brown likes Pugh. A lot.

 

Didn't he pick up quite a bad injury mid-way through the 2nd half of the season, but played on it until it was unbearable? I'm sure it was his ankle. He looked good to start when he joined but tailed off a bit. I'm sure it was the injury, Pugh should be good at this level.

We don't have an attacking left back though, and as reliable as Yates is, the mistake last night suggests he's not that comfortable on that side. My side would be:

 

4-3-3: Lainton; Wilson, Smith, Kay, Gunning; Pugh, Tonge, De Freitas; Turner, Pope, Harness

 

Turner has looked good on that right hand side. Gunning or Kelly are the options at left back, and for me it's Gunning but he'd be sitting back and focusing on defending. ADF at least offers legs in the middle.

 

Personally I like that formation and it's the one that suits us best - especially at home. We don't exactly have the players for the formation but we don't really have the players for many formations.

 

I'm usually more optimistic and have been fairly calm over preseason. However I still feel like we're about 5 players short, which is worrying.

 

Didnt Yates put the cross in for our equaliser Tuesday night? Isn't that the only cross that Pope has put away this preseason?

I don't get the unhappiness with Pugh...Blackpool captain who had a release clause if a higher div came in for him...we did..he came to us,even though they didnt want lose him..it didn't work out but...

Pope sees him in training and speaks highly of him...fitness etc..

Give the guy a break...lets see what Brown does and see if it works out..

Captain of a team that got promoted from this division last year. I think he is a decent player for this league.
