i think a new centre half and left back are certainties now

Can't argue much with that. For some reason Lennon doesn't fancy Ntcham in there at all, but the McGregor/Christie combo isn't strong enough at the moment. Will be interesting to see who else we bring in.

We might need to look at resting Brown a bit more this season aswell, depending on the game and shape of the team.

I think that this is inevitable this season, can see Brown becoming a more bit part player as the season moves on, caveat though that Ntcham and Christie aren't sold off, even if we keep them I would like to see a tough as nails CM in

The squad may be stronger yet zach but idont think they are anything between the first eleven of both teams.

Can't argue much with Ghod's line ups. I'd still have el hamed ahead of Frimpong even in a 4 man defence but Frimpong is a terrific player

Playing Brown for me is about the opponents and pitch. I feel on small tight astro pitches he is far less influential than at home or when we can play an attacking formation

Zach, it is that

Frimpong i think may be the same as Brown, in that the bigger pitches suit his game more.

I'm gutted there's no winter break this season.

I agree our first 11 is decent and we do have more in reserve.
Balogun is oot this week with a strain
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Balogun is a good defender but known to be injury prone, hope he is injured for our game with you (in the nicest possible way of course)

I think in order to get our best players on the pitch Brown needs to be sacrificed, not saying he doesn't still have a contribution to make but for me his playing time should be be coming down at this stage of his career.

Hard to say at this stage if Ajeti is good enough for our strongest XI, but i'd like to see this team on the pitch in our next game, especially at home in games where we'll have all the possession.

Why not? At least one of our players goes missing in games
