I'd go with the team at the start of the thread with one exception. You must all promise not to laugh.

I'd play Jordan Sinnott in place of Nicky Clee and leave the overlapping to our full backs.

It seems the manager has been listening!

I've not gone to the game, but let's see how "my" lineup does.

Nicky isn't on the bench so may have a knock.

And of course Bowerman now enters the equation.

No idea what the team is likely to be on Saturday when results matter.

What i am happy about is that by all accounts the squad is much more complete than last season.

Arguably a stronger first 11 and as the team knit together this will improve further, but what looks to be a solid bench now with no real gaps. We appear to have game changers on the bench, whoever those players will end up being.

Overall I am quite happy and looking forward to a promising season and an improvement on 2014-15.

If Jordan Sinnott ever starts over a fit Clee I will rip my season ticket up

I am sorry but your very much mistaken, this squad is by far the weakest we have had for a number of years

All the new players are poorer than the ones they have replaced with the possible exception of Rankine

Name a game changer who will be on the bench next week?

Be careful now. I remember a member of this forum solemnly pledging never to attend another game while Sinnot is in charge (around 2 1/2 years ago). Of course he was full of sh*t and missed only a game or two! Lucky for him he didn't have the courage of his convictions or would have missed the excitement of the play off win!

What?  It can't by far weaker than last year because the first XI is pretty much the same.  We have the same first XI, the same defensive back up,  a striker who is probably better than Perry and the rest of the bench is unproven who may or may not be better than last year's subs bench.  Not the progress we would have liked certainly but 'by far weaker' - no chance

No we don't at all, what rubbish

Wasn't Cavanagh in the starting XI last season? (and will probably be replaced by Sinnott jnr)

How much weaker do you want?

Not sure it's by far the weakest squad we've had for years. Rankine and Bowerman are a massive improvement on Perry and Gillespie while Deasy is probably a slight improvement on Parton but on the flip side I'm not convinced O'Keefe and Griffith are quite as good as Williams and Cavanagh. Overall I'd say the squad overall is of a similar standard to last season.

[GB Alty]

Disagree Martin, as I said in the other thread I bet you £100 Bowerman doesn't score as many goals as Brooke

So we've changed one player in the first XI, who was far from ever present, from the team that finished the higher up the pyramid than any Alty team for best part of a decade and we are 'by far the weakest squad we've had for years' - that's just complete nonsense.  Can't be bothered to do a like for like comparison with the squad that started 3 or 4 years ago but I'm fairly confident no-one would swap either of those squads for this one!

How many games did  Cavanagh play in which he was neither booked  nor sent off ?  I bet it amounts to less than half the season. Though I'm not yet convinced about Griffith, who reminds me of Carl Rodgers.

Even without seeing bowerman I'd be gobsmacked if he was worse than Perry or Gillespie
