Something was certainly mentioned in an interview with Radio Sheffield. I think they only overturn decisions if the referee has categorised the sending off as one thing, and clearly its another, such as violent conduct instead of serious foul play etc.
I would start Iseka , initially selling programmes & if successful I would then start him on the car park , if he cuts the mustard on the car park & hits a run of form I would then give him a start on the turnstiles !!!
With what we have: Roberts Cundy Lopata Kitching O’Keeffe Russell Connell Kane Cadden Cole Watters Killip James Cotter Ackroyd Marsh Norwood Dallas Assuming McCarthy/Benson aren’t fit, we know Wolfe isn’t, and that Williams/Styles are sold and o’keeffe comes in. Phillips misses the first three. That’s the best I can do with what is left - I suspect a centre back and maybe a left wing back might come in yet
I don't think Collins will know his best side until probably 8 games in especially with the pre season we have or haven't had. Goalkeeper and midfield picks itself
Iseka? I'm 51 years old 16 stone and have a dodgy ticker and I'd pick me over him to start a game and give more effort.
Likely IMO. …………..Roberts………… …James..Lopata..Kitching.. Williams……………………..Cadden …..Kane…Connell…Styles…. ….Norwood………….Dallas…. Subs Killip Cotter Cundy Shaw Russell Watters Cole Hopefully.. ………….............Roberts…......……… …Lopata..(New Experienced CB)..Kitching.. Williams……………………..Cadden ….......Kane.....…Connell.......…Styles…. …....Norwood…….....…….Dallas…. Subs Killip Cotter Cundy James (New Experience Attacking Mid) Watters Cole
Williams could probably play right centre back at a pinch with O’Keefe coming in for the wingback position
One or two assumptions there mate ha.....I just think it’s too early to guess side yet, let’s wait till this time next week and we should have an idea of whose here for start of season
Your "hopefully" team, with Watters instead in for Dallas, would I think get us out of this division. The new experienced CB is of course Harry Maguire.
People wanting iseka to start. Guys binned us off since he signed. Doesnt want to be there and never shown anything. Madness people still think hes worth starting first game of season. Get rid if we can. Waste of a squad number and funds.
Wonder if we could change shape to cover the lack of midfielders and try and attack them. Go for the Val system. Roberts McCarthy? Lopata Kitching Williams Kane Connell Cadden Cole Watters Dallas
I was also thinking of our midfield maybe being strobgest area atm.. So Roberts James Lopata Kitching Williams Kane Connell Cadden Styles Norwood *Dallas *Be ok if Watters or Cole started season But Styles just behind front 2 in a free role could work.
Roberts Williams (or new centre back) Lopata Kitching O’Keeffe Connell Russell Kane Cadden Cole Norwood Watters on for Norwood on 60 minutes. I’d imagine our strikers will again share the minutes around.
Do we know that Collins plays the same sytem? I think we have a squad that lends itself better to 4-3-3 with the current personell
