I realise he won't be ready to play but saying he is and Connell and McCart back what will the team be Roberts De Givegny Pines McCart Williams Styles Connell Phillips Kane Mcatee Cole Killip Okeefe Lopata Cadden Russell Cosgrove Norwood.
Waiting for international clearance and a successful visa application. I predict a debut sometime around early March
If Connell's fit on Tuesday I'd seriously consider resting Kane to make sure Herbie's available for the trip to Stevenage and reluctantly play Styles left of the midfield three. If Connell isn't fit then Kane will have to play and risk a two match ban for the vital Stevenage and Oxford games. Cadden to left back regardless.
Shepherd played really well yesterday. I wouldn't be dropping him for someone who hasn't played since October and who Collins said needs a mini pre season.
If McCart is back fit I'd go with Saturdays team but with McCart in for Russell and DeGivegny further forward , try him as DM 'quarterback ' if Connell is still unfit. I've counted Pines out as he hasn't played since Yank 'soccer' season ended.
Pretending everyone is fit and available for selection Roberts Pines - MDG - McCart Williams Cadden McAtee - Connell - Kane Cole - Cosgrove Subs: Killip, Lopata, Cotter, Phillips, Jalo, Marsh
If Mcart is fit I'm sure Shepherd will be dropped and not even make the bench. Question really was what will be the back 3 when Pines is ready to play
Supertyke, I've just twigged on that you aren't taking the Mick out of me for some reason haha. Thought you were putting me in at CB, and was thinking, have I been that critical of our defence. Good job it's our french lad cos I don't think I'd inject much pace into the back line More suited to the EA sports version of the game nowadays.
Wouldn’t drop Shepherd. Played well Saturday, needs games to improve and I feel like he’s warranted another start against Carlisle. Back to McCart for Stevenage
