I'd say the front 6 pick themselves, as above. Its just a matter of who Paolo picks for his back 4 and keeper. You would assume Roux and Baro will be the right side of defence, then its a matter of who is picked on the left side out of Golec, Rowles and Josh Rose. My gut tells me it will be Golec and Rose, but Rowles has looked more than capable in the trial games so far. I hope Glover gets first crack as No. 1 keeper.

Bench: Kennedy, L Rose, Rowles, Bingham & Appiah or Budgie would be my guess.

GK, LCB and LB are the unknowns at this stage

We all probably want Glover but no guarantee yet.

Also is Hoole out for round 1 based on yellow cards at end of last season? He picked up the suspension in last game against us? Is that what the utube kids where saying?

Normally I'd have Hoole starting at RW but I am 99% certain he picked up his eighth yellow in Round 27 last season and is banned for the R1 Derby.

Normally

Glover
Roux Baro Rowles J.Rose
Hiariej Brama
Da Silva
Hoole Asdrubal Pain
Subs:
Kennedy, L. Rose, Bingham, Appiah, Trent

TBH I don't think Hoole will start until Paolo is happy that DDS can do 90 mins. He will be on the bench to take over when DDS is gassed.

with Hoole out

Glover
Roux Baro Rowles J.Rose
Hiariej Brama
Da Silva
Appiah Asdrubal Pain
Subs:
Kennedy, L. Rose, Bingham, Powell, Trent

TBH I don't think Hoole will start until Paolo is happy that DDS can do 90 mins. He will be on the bench to take over when DDS is gassed.

Great side apart from McGing at CB.

I'd have Rowles next to Baro and J. Rose at LB

Subs; Kennedy, Golec, L.Rose, Budgie and Bingham.

Think Paulo will start Hoole and move him to DDS spot when takes off DDS and will bring on Appiah or Trent. Except for week 1

Not sure which one I'd rather over the 2 B's. I don't rate either of them but one of them needs to be there to cover Asdrubal.

We are going to be solid at the back and I can see Liam getting a shot at starting CB if Golec and Rowles dont take their chances. I would love to see Baro Rose Brama and Hiarjei working together and DeSilva Asdrubal in front.
We will need to punch above our weight to get something out of this season though. The recruitment across the teams has been very good. The only area I see us doing better than other teams in is our defence. I think we will have a better defence than most others.
Could be a season of many draws

Powell might be in for round 1 and bench after that week.

Played a bit of #10 and is a striker to cover Asdrubal

Is he fit?

That would be my starting side too. If Hooley's out for round one i would put Kwabs in for him. Not convinced yet by Golec but we have lacked height and a physical presence in recent seasons and he gives us that. A lot hinges on Asdrubal as we really don't have another starting striker IMO. Once Powell is fit, i'd love him to get a chance behind Asdrubal. Think we will go well, there are lot's of potential goals in most of our midfielders and our defence will be tight and well organized.

Just thought. Roux will be out for NZ so Rowles into starting 11 and Mcging on to bench.
Edit. Sorry Mcging into 11. Rowles still on bench

Its a decent side and Golec should get better. If he doesn't Rowles will slot in easily.

Since when did cards from the previous season carry over??
"Cards" don't carry over, suspensions resulting from previous seasons do. He accumulated his eighth of the season in the final round, which by my understanding results in a mandatory one match suspension.

At a couple of trail games I saw a tiny player with speed and balls skills to die for and I was with a couple of people and said he is better than Pain... they told me he plays in the youth team iad is quite young...

I guess others will know the name of the player I am talking about but IMO would love too see him come on in the last 15 minutes or so to see how he handles playing in the first team.
