What do you see the starting eleven and subs being for Barnsley match?
I think Giles will start at left wing back. Not sure if Wintle will start as I suspect the midfield might be Pack, Vaulks, Ralls. Kieffer up top is a given, but it'll be interesting to see who plays with/ off him. I'd like to see Collins there but I'm not sure he's that type of player - I think he'll be use as a Kieffer alternative. So, for me that no. 10 position is still one we probably need to bring someone in.
Giles is an excellent attacking wingback and you have to accept that he will occasionally be caught out too far up the field you just have to make sure that someone can cover for him if he is. It will make for more exciting football. Would rather see us play with a bit of panache next season than boring defensive football.

A lot of optimism here that Kieffer will be with us next season. If an offer comes along I wouldn’t be surprised if the club cashes in. Are we equipped up front if he does go ?
I get the feeling there's going to be a few more ins and outs yet, so I think it's impossible to try to pick a team for the Barnsley match, but it's is possible to take a decent guess at who out of the four newcomers will be playing.
The easiest one to predict for me is McGuiness because, even if one of Flint, Morrison or Nelson was sold or injured, you'd assume Brown or, possibly, Pack would come in for them. I'd say the most likely to start is Giles, presumably at left wing back and Wintle (who has played occasionally at centreback for Crewe) stands a good chance of being given a start in front of someone like Bacuna who is currently away on international duty I believe and so will be a bit behind in his preparation.
It could be possible that Collins starts in front of Moore for the same reason, but if it's decided that Keiffer is okay to start, I find Collins the toughest one of the four to predict - if I had to decide one way or another, I'd opt for him being on the bench.
I think the keeper is the hardest to predict.
On the squad we have id go.
Smithies Ng Morrison Flint Nelson Giles Wintle Ralls Pack Tomlin Moore.
Colwill if Tomlin isnt fit.
I assume Giles will start
We started with 2 strikers against Bath which could suggest that's the route we're going this season, particularly considering the lack of attacking midfielders. I'd like for Sang to be given an opportunity in midfield but can't see Mick doing it
Phillips
Morrison Flint Nelson
Ng Pack Ralls Giles
Colwill
Collins Moore
Would be my prediction though I'd like to see Pack tried in the back 3 again
It's noticeable that we all assume we're playing with full backs and none of us have Murphy in a starting line up. He's quite an expensive bench warmer - is it time for him to move on?
3 . 5 . 2 season perhaps ?
our squad seems to lend itself to a 3-4-1-2 with the number of strikers we have.
the 1 is going to be key though.
if Tomlin can roll back the years that could be ideal for him, or if we can get Wilson back I think he could do very well with 2 strikers ahead if him.
then we've got Colwill who played that role to bring through as well.
Lots of different players/ formations to mull over. Have tried to work out in my mind but very confused. Hope MM isn't!
Couldn’t Murphy rotate with Colwill? I don’t see us getting much out of Tomlin, although if he’s in the last year of his contract, might play out of his skin to get a new deal.
MM likes. Defensive wing back so not sure if we will see Giles in that position.
is that due to the fact we didn't have a more attacking option until now?
Under big Mick we've played Bennett, Bagan, Brown, Ng, Sang and Ralls on the left and Ng and Sang on the right if I'm remembering correctly.
I'm not sure there were too many other options to go more attacking. Hoilet or Murphy perhaps?
