Let's wait until about Thursday as I'm sure that the squad won't be the same as it is now. Assuming he plays2 up front the MF selection is going to be very interesting as IMO it will be Douglas, Saunders and 2 from Forshaw, Reeves,and Diagouraga. Can't see Forrester and Sam playing in the same team if we start with 2 up front.
Hopefully it'll be
Lee
Logan Craig Dean Bidwell
Douglas
Forshaw Dave
Saunders
Donaldson ElAlguai
Subs
Moore
Legge
Redwood
Reeves
Forrester

Hayes

I will wait till Friday when we would have had our first real test against Wycombe and my first game of pre season.But looking at the line ups suggested so far plus a couple more to come in all looking very promising.
Out of interest Bill, what signings do you expect to see before Walsall game?Originally Posted by Bill Benn
Uwe has told us he wants and expects 3 players to come in,Midfielder Striker & Left Back l expect all that to happen before the Bury game and some before the Walsall game.
Thanks, I'm guessing a left back will happen and just hoping that budget allows for another quality striker.
I'm not as worried as before about midfield as believe that either Adam or Harry F ready to step up and share the responsibility with Jon D.
I think the striker is a necessity and figures crossed its Hayes even if it's only a loan.
Too early to pick a team - I'd expect at least one signing before then and probably an injury in the Wycombe game! Given how well the system worked at the end of last season away from home, I'd probably favour a 4-4-1-1, though as it's the League Cup we could use it as an opportunity to bed in a different formation away.
I like the look of that! Fingers crossed! Great strength in depth also. Would imagine Kev would at least get a place on the bench though-maybe instead of Redwood?
I'd imagine Kev will be in the starting line up for an away game in a knockout competition.
When the wind of change blows some build walls, others build windmills...
The team will be...
Moore
Logan
Legge
Dean
Craig (LB until we find a decent Bidwell replacement)
Saunders
Douglas (c)
Forshaw
Weston
El Alagui
Donaldson
Forrester for Weston if we are going diamond
yep. would agree with that line up
Football is not a matter of life or death, it's more important than that.
Have you put a big bet on Walsall ?
Football is not a matter of life or death, it's more important than that.
No argument here, just surprised if Hayes is still a target why it's taken him so long, really hope he's held out to join us rather than no one else prepared to meet his demands.
Until we get the signings Uwe wants, there isn't a point speculating imo
Be sure to let us know when we can speculate !
Sorry for my premature posting

Its almost the same team you just agreed with.

Assuming that Uwe will play his strongest team for the Walsall game, and also taking into account a variety of formations that may be used, and possibly some more new faces arriving this week, I am really struggling to pick a team for saturday.
The only shoe-ins to start IMHO are: Dean, Logan, Douglas and Donaldson. The fifth would probably be Craig, but don't know in which position he will play (CB or LB?). This leaves us with over half the team left to stake their place, and lots of interesting competitions/situations to resolve before saturday.
Goalkeeper: Lee vs. Moore
Centre Back: Craig vs. Legge
Left Back: Craig vs. Redwood Vs. New Signing?
Centre Mid: Diagouraga vs. O'Connor vs. Forshaw vs. Reeves vs. New Signing?
Winger/Playmaker: Saunders vs. Forrester vs. Weston
Striker: El-Alagui vs. New Signing/s?
I'll go with this one as well. I know we may get a player or two before Saturday (though no guarantee). I'll put this under our current information.
Subs: Moore, Redwood, Mawson, Reeves, Weston, Forrester, Diagouraga.
It is surprisingly hard to think up the 7 subs, we really are a bit light in some areas now aren't we...
P.s. It is good to see a thread like this one, makes the season feel much closer!

Ipso Facto - he thinks any Brentford team involving King Kev will be losing to Walsall
