    Now the transfer window is shut and we now know our squad , just wondering what your starting XI would be ?

    Here's the squad in full:

    GK: Davies , Townsend

    RB : Yiadom , Bree

    CB : Roberts , Jackson , MacDonald , Cowgill

    LB : White , Kpekawa , Evans

    RM : Kent , Janko , Williams

    CM : Hourihane , Scowen , Morsy

    LM : Hammill , Templeton

    ST : Armstrong , Winnall , Watkins , Bradshaw , Payne , Lee

    I'd go for :

    Davies

    Yiadom Jackson Roberts White

    Kent Scowen Hourihane Hammill

    Watkins Winnall

    Subs : Townsend , MacDonald , Kpekawa , Morsy , Janko , Armstrong , Bradshaw

    Personally I would keep the same side that beat Rotherham.

    I think Kpekawa will be in the team soon. CB alongside Roberts maybe. Thankfully we have options there.

    I thought MacDonald did very well on his debut, but not a starter as yet I think...

    Kpekawa is a ball player & a tall lad, so would play a great John Stones role, alongside the powerful Roberts. A very good combo.
    Hecky will look at that I'm sure.

    Can't see the rest of the side changing a lot, until the inevitable injuries / suspensions kick in. Hence us not blowing loads of coin.
    Strikers / wing players will come off the bench in the style we used last season.

    Hasn't Cole been signed as a left back predominantly?

    Yes, but to start him over Aidy White would be foolish in my opinion.
    White is one of our key players, but is obviously prone to injury.

    We have a CB gap, with 3 possible choices, I just think he may be the shoe in there, as he's 6 foot 4 & a ball player...

    Personally I'd go unchanged, apart from Sam. I know this will go down like a lead balloon, but I'd start with Marley and Armstrong

    Seems strange that you would shoe in a left back to play in the middle when we have just signed a ball playing central defender.

    Id go with Watkins and Winnall or Watkins and Bradshaw. Armstrong needs to earn his place.

    Armstrong won,t be as effective in this league like he was last season I,d use him as a substitute for late in games.

    Don't think he has a preferred position, keeps saying he can play both.

    It'd make sense if he was to be at centre back as then we'd have 4 centre backs & 2 left backs. If he's seen as a left back then we've got 3 centre backs & 3 left backs

    Same as Rotherham with the possible replacement of McDonald with either Jackson or Kpekawa depending how good they are

    if you listen to his interview he clearly says that he can play both but at this stage in his career prefers left back. Jackson is an out and out central defender so until we have seen them play cant see why anybody would have Kpekawa in front of Jackson to play CH.

    We're currently third in the table, after a good start to the season. The team is exactly that, with everyone making a positive contribution. It's up to the new lads to force their way into the starting XI, in my opinion. Hopefully, they've all bought into the club's ethos which has proved to be so successful. If they're anything like a good professional (and I don't know they're not), then I believe they'll find this acceptable & will have enough confidence in their own abilities to do just that. Keeping players who aren't currently starting focused and willing to grab their opportunity when it arises is all part and parcel of man management. This is something Hecky appears to excel at.

    Same team for me. Maybe give Bradshaw another start, after his goal. The new signings have to earn their place in the team, but the depth of the squad now looks a lot stronger.
