    Its a squad game as they say....you cant just play the same XI every week
    Lets assume all our squad is fit

    Pick a starting XI in your desired formation.

    Now forget all those players, pick a second XI where the only rules are you cant pick anyone who is in your first XI, and you must stick to the same formation

    This is mine (suspect the same as most peoples)
    Starting XI
    4-4-2
    Davies
    G. Williams Masson Roberts White
    Isgrove Brownhill Hourihane Hammill
    Winnall Watkins

    Second XI
    Townsend
    Bree Cowgill Nyatanga Smith
    R.Williams Scowen J.McCourt Chapman
    Fletcher Toney

    Any team that can have Josh Scowen, Harry Chapman, James Bree and Ashley Fletcher unable to command a first team place has to be a good one
    Bit of a worry that we don't really have much of a back up at centre half, on one of the wings and in central midfield. But still quite impressed with that squad

    Yep go with that, but With Mawson in for Masson. I love his Californian carafe wine, but his distribution is a little suspect.

    I thought he was bringing the old Notts County centre forward Don Masson out of retirement

    Bodes very well for the run-in, especially as all bar R.Williams are fit.

    But, try doing the same exercise and only include players contracted to us next season. Just shows how good an opportunity we have to get promoted here, and how important it is that we take it.
