Go on then, Pick YOUR team for Saturday using 3 formation options:
1) 3421 2) 352 3) 4231
Assuming these are not eligible as injured: Davies / Little / Kelly / Nicholson / Rodman
1) ---------- Anssi ---------- ----Baldwin----Ehmer----Harries---- Hare----Grant----Westbrooke----Leahy --------McCormick----Hargreaves-------- ------------Hanlan------------
2) ---------- Anssi ---------- ----Baldwin----Ehmer----Harries---- Hare--Grant--Westbrooke--McCormick--Leahy --------Hanlan----Ayunga--------
3) ---------- Anssi ---------- ---Hare-----Ehmer---Harries-----Leahy ------Grant--Westbrooke--Hargreaves------ -----Hanlan----Ayunga----McCormick-----
Giving Kilgour and JML a little break to look at the team from the sidelines and see for themselves what needs to be done to fill the gaps (different perspective) Putting Hargeaves and McCormick in for the energy Added Ayunga for 2/3 formations as a bit more hold up play and a further outlet for our more 'direct' balls Harries stays for now as our only left footed CB although I prefer others from a tackling perspective Risking Hare at RB/RWB as we need someone in that position certainly against a beatable team (on paper (pre season))
Thougts? and what would you do?

Time for our new Captain,Max Ehmer to stand up and be counted.Liked Rollin and Brexit Tone but not yet convinced by the skipper or the very average Baldwin-weird signing- who I watched previously and first game at Ipswich on i follow. Massive game Sat.

Can't see anything but a comfortable win for Northampton, who will bully us all over the park. Still, at least we'll have our usual 25-30 minute period of tippy-tappy possession football that ultimately results in, at most, a single shot on goal. Followed by us all having a moan and BG still being in a job on Monday

And then a damned good moan that will last until Sunday night at least. Getting very used to it.

Has it been reported how long Nicholson is out for? Are some of the negative comments on Jack Baldwin fair? Played one match in the cup when no defenders played well, nothing since. I hope we give the guy a chance and comment when we’ve some games to comment about. It really isn’t his fault we’re bottom of the league! UTG!

I don't know a lot about him but in the Tommy W podcast they refer to him quite a bit and they are all saying he has the ability and commitment

What do you see if Upson over Grant and Daly over McCormick buddy?

I’ve not seen anything from Grant to warrant being picked, only reasons not to play him. If we had a 30 day return period I’d be returning him to the retailer! McCormick nothing to do with him as a player just I’d like to see 3 up top and for us to really go for it in a game we should be winning if we want any chance of success this season.

I think Garner should be gone already , if and when we inevitably lose against Northampton , he needs to be sacked at the final whistle.

I have watched parts of the matches but not one match in full due to my Saturdays being rather hectic at the moment, and I am not challenging your picks at all in fact I love to get as much out of others as I can. I am really interested to get all view points so i can feed back to Ben Frosty (Bristol Live) put up yesterday that Grant has impressed him and while i haven't seen much of Upson or Grant I did see the Ipswich blunder that lead to the 2nd goal, so with my limited experiences and only evidence I had I went for Grant. Don't get me wrong, most of the time I am desperate to see Upson scoop up that headed clearence on the edge of the box and volley home as he loves to do!

A reason for the tiniest hint of optimism?
Our record against top 6 teams since being promoted back to league 1 is absolutely rubbish, yet we’ve been mid table every season. There’s a big gulf to those top teams but we’ve been relatively comfortable by having a good record against mid table and lower teams. If we think that Ipswich, Sunderland and Doncaster are going to be up there, then this start to the season is pretty much on a par with previous years against top sides. Should we be expecting a good result on Saturday. This is the litmus test for Garner. Am I confident? No, if I’m honest but there is at least hope after reading these stats:
V Top 6 since return to league 1
2016/17 (Clarke) Sheff Utd 1 Gas 0 Gas 0 Sheff Utd 0 Gas 1 Bolton 2 Bolton 1 Gas 1 Scunthorpe 3 Gas 1 Gas 1 Scunthorpe 1 Gas 2 Fleetwood 1 Fleetwood 3 Gas 1 Bradford 1 Gas 1 Gas 1 Bradford 1 Millwall 4 Gas 0 Gas 3 Millwall 4
2017/18 (Clarke) Wigan 3 Gas 0 Gas 1 Wigan 1 Blackburn 2 Gas 1 Gas 1 Blackburn 1 Shrewsbury 4 Gas 0 Gas 1 Shrewsbury 2 Gas 2 Rotherham 1 Rotherham 2 Gas 0 Scunthorpe 1 Gas 0 Gas 1 Scunthorpe 1 Charlton 1 Gas 0 Gas 1 Charlton 1
2018/19 (Clarke/Coughlan) Luton 1 Gas 0 Gas 1 Luton 2 Barnsley 1 Gas 0 Gas 2 Barnsley 1 Charlton 3 Gas 1 Gas 0 Charlton 0 Gas 1 Portsmouth 2 Portsmouth 1 Gas 1 Sunderland 2 Gas 1 Gas 0 Sunderland 2 Gas 0 Doncaster 4 Doncaster 4 Gas 1
2019/20 (Coughlan/Garner) Coventry 2 Gas 0 Gas 2 Coventry 2 Gas 1 Rotherham 0 Rotherham 3 Gas 0 Gas 0 Wycombe 0 Wycombe 3 Gas 1 Gas 3 Oxford 1 Gas 2 Portsmouth 2 Fleetwood 0 Gas 0 Gas 0 Fleetwood 0
P46 W5 D15 L26 F37 A81 Pts30
Away, this record becomes truly shocking! P22 W0 D4 L18 F10 A46 Pts4

Don't get me wrong, most of the time I am desperate to see Upson scoop up that headed clearence on the edge of the box and volley home as he loves to do! If we couldn’t challenge it would make for a very boring discussion! I’m fascinated by Frosts assertion that Grant has impressed because I’ve seen nothing from him to warrant any inclusion. The narrative from many on here seems to support that but I guess the manager sees something in him that Upson / Ogogo couldn’t provide.
