It's difficult.
Who up front is a lottery, but for pace it would be three from Appere, Hoskins, Eppiah and DWP.
I would want Sowerby in midfield but which other two would you have and who would you drop?
I'd also think Sherring deserves to be there but believe that Magloire is the better option.
Odimayo and Kioki are definites.
Burge or King? From his two games, King hasn't done anything wrong.

JB has the selection problem, he might be hoping for a few injuries in order to cut down the options... Grin Grin Tongue

I've got the below 11 in my head!

Not sure how the front three will all fit in though!


                 Burge

Odimayo Magloire Guthrie Koiki
       
         McWilliams Sowerby

Wright-Phillips Eppiah Hoskins

                  Yengi


Gosh, I like the look of that… but Louis must play up front!

Do you think the goalie recruitment policy is there to wind Maxted up?

I can see it on the training ground now...

Col: Shall we do some shooting practice?
Jon: Yeah, we'll need one of the keepers to come over from their session. OI! BURGE OR KING?

Maxted: oh yes please, gaffer, I'll have a large Whopper meal!

Apologies to AS/MC but don't agree with the selection of the four front men. Would suggest Hoskins and Eppiah (in lieu of Pollock) and Fox

Appere must start up front, without a doubt. I would question peoples judgement to suggest otherwise.

The recent signings might be impressive but they have to earn their place.

To put all new men up front at the first opportunity is naïve, short sighted and total lack of constructive selection policy.

Best of all Fox is ignored - and you may well wonder why I am so critical.

Training in the next couple of days should be interesting. Midfielders and forwards all vying for a starting position on Saturday.

Louis is a grafter without doubt but his goal returns whilst better than Hylton still needs to improve and I think it will given time and a more ruthless streak.

Dilemma for JB but that’s what he’s there for. Big decisions and squad management more important than ever with recent form of ours and chasing pack catching us now.

Id go something along the lines of
                  Burge
Odimayo Sherring Guthrie Koiki
                Leonard
           McWilliams Fox
Wright-Phillips      Hoskins
                  Appere

Bench:
King
Mcgowan
Magloire
Sowerby
Pinnock
Bowie
Yengi

Few caveats to go with this. I have not seen the lads in the flesh so they may be better / worse than I expect. Of the starters I would hope Appere can up his goal return otherwise I would hope Yengi can bring more of a goal threat. Not seen the new CM but all the CM's in the squad so far have proven qualities at this level. Harsh on Eppiah, but of the regular players I feel like his actual output in terms of goals and assists is the lowes of them. Would mean Maxted, Dyche, Haynes, Harrop, Hondermarck, Hylton and Eppiah dont make the 18. We have some impressive depth now thats for sure!

Probably spot on and Lordy did not forget Leonard who has a decent pass in him.

It comes as a great surprise that you disagree. It comes as a further surprise you use derogatory words to pity a couple of posters opinions.

If only there was a concrete way concluding whose opinion if either are correct.

Please enlighten us of your 11. I'm guessing:

                 Burge
McGowan Sherring Guthrie Mills
     McWilliams Sowerby
            Leonard
      Fox             Hoskins
              Appere

Oh, sorry.  I sincerely apologise for thinking I could offer my opinion.

Fox has been in and out. Leonard is clearly class. But we are not good enough at breaking teams down at home. Something’s gotta change. Leonard or Fox could play in 4-3-3 away from home. I’m still waiting impatiently for Appere and Eppiah to be reunited on the pitch. One goes off the other comes on. They were unstoppable together towards the end of last season with Hoskins and Pinnock also shoehorned in to 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1.

My what a squad we have! I was wondering how everyone shoehorned the quality in up front, the new lads plus what we already had. Pinnock seems to be the one who drops out of most peoples thoughts....based on this seasons exploits i'm not surprised, its as if the postman is on strike most weekends!!

Of course I did put the caveat in "if everyone was fit"......which will of course never happen, we are NTFC after all!!

Glad nobody named all six loanees in the 18 man squad either....potentially something JB has to juggle with between now and the end of the season (5 max in the squad for any game)

Six league matches in February (a short month) with only four in March (a long month). Looks like Jon will have to sort out his team in actual matches that count - possibly a friendly next mid-week.

i would suggest all the new players will be on the bench unless someone is injured .
Pinnock will be hauled off though if he floats around without purpose as has been the case too often this season and DWP or Eppiah will be on in a flash .
Sowerby and McWilliams are shoe ins as are Hoskins , Appere and Guthrie.
Koiki is our only left back with merit .
Magloire over Sherring for me and McGowan over AK .
Burge is by far the better keeper .
That just leaves the man in the hole or if we play Fox as an extra midfielder .

They might start on the bench but doubt Stoke have loaned out the Grandson to warm it for too long. A bit like when young McAteer went to FG and mainly played sub from Leicester, seems a waste. He’s now gone to AFC and could have been a decent option as a Northampton lad.

But we only have 5 loans - Marc Leonard, Kieron Bowie, Josh Eppiah, Tete Yengi and D'Margio Wright-Phillips  Huh?

Nobody seems to be selecting our new midfielder - Will Hondermarck. I know he's currently not fit enough but surely that will change.

Also, no mention of a contract extension for Josh Harrop. I was under the impression his current deal ended yesterday.
