I’d get the new lads in from the start on Saturday, something to perhaps get a bit of buzz around the place

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.

It’s all about opinions and your apology is noted but what for?

I can’t see it mate - the only one that might have a chance of starting is DWP in my opinion.  I think that Appere more than deserves his place at the moment and the midfield 4 of Sowerby, McWilliams, Leonard and Fox are all ahead of Hondermarck. Good options to bring on though.

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


Your judgement IMO is sometimes very mysterious. You are entitled to your august opinion and long may it continue..

i think the only one that may start is Hondermark because he is potentially the link player we have been missing between the 2 holding midfielders and the front runners . Unless …..DWP has a go there and is disciplined enough to hold position which i doubt .
That would mean no start for Leonard or Fox though.
I would be surprised if Tete gets on unless we are getting hammered .

Its ok to support ntfclad and yours to put all new players straight in on Saturday:

Personally I wouldn't as it might mean leaving out some decent players who probably deserve to be playing. Team spirit and all that.
The only player I would be tempted to try is DWP solely because he is a right/left winger providing impetus and crossing ability.
The other signings may end up on the bench and possibly Yengi may get a run out if Louie misses too many chances. JB appears to be a cautious Manager and that might be a factor who plays and when.

so you would drop players that have performed well all season just as some are returning from injury for untried kids that are raw and will have little idea about the shape and discipline we play with ?
As for starting DWP right wing - isn’t that where the league’s 2nd top scorer plays ?
Unless we have more injuries or patience has run out with Pinnock , i can’t see DWP or Tete starting . Tete is totally untried and he is a back up player in my opinion .

You have to earn your right to start. As Hylton has found out.
And their level of fitness may not be up to the standard required by JB.

Anyone fancy picking their best Cobblers matchday 18 now assuming everyone was fit?

It’s very amusing how this simple question from GPC has got the self appointed message board moderators finger pointing on why certain selections are not right for this weekends fixture.

Encourage everyone particularly the know-it-alls (usual suspects) to re read the original question.

I think the only new signing that has a chance of being in the starting 11 is DWP possibly in place of Pinnock and playing him on the right wing does not effect Hoskins who plays on the left so he can cut inside and get his shots away on his right foot.

My guess for Saturday:

King - starts
Hondermarck - not in squad.
DWP - Sub but 30+ minutes regardless of score.
Tete - Sub but 10+ minutes if the game is going our way.

McWilliams will come back in for Leonard.
Eppiah will start in place of Pinnock.
The rest as per Barrow.

From the sounds of it DWP would be an excellent impact player at this level so I assume we'll give him half an hour if we're struggling. Don't forget he's not been in the first-team squad some match days so he won't be as match fit as some.

I love the way everybody wants to stick with the current crop who have won just twice in the last 6 games. If the three new players are not better than what we already have I don't know why we bothered signing them.

Is it just me, or does everyone else keep seeing DWP and thinking Department of Work and Pensions?

Partly agree but also depends on their match fitness and how long they have to train with the current squad. Brady also said that with Hondermarck his signing is as much about building long term than it is short term (although hopefully we can have both).

My guess is Hondermarck will start, DWP and Yengi on the bench. A lot depends on injuries though.

Not a lot wrong with that selection but would try to keep Leonard in the 11?  No Pinnock😇 for you then?
