2012-13 Best XI

[Old Gregg]

OK so the season's getting closer, I'm interested in what people reckon is our best lineup with the players we currently have ... Blaze away

[Old Gregg]

I have no idea whether Barker-Daish is able to play out on the right wing, that's a problem position. Kamara could be an option too, or even Barbs or Melling, or you could stick Vidosic there (where he has been excellent in the ACL) but then you lose his quality at the top of midfield.

Still shitloads of quality to fill the bench - Djite, Fyfe, Usucar, Barbiero, Kamara, Melling, Golec...

I'd probably have Usucar in for Caravella but otherwise pretty much spot on for me.

[RedsUnited]

Vidosic wide right, JBD in centre with Caravella. Malik sole anchor.

Djite and van Dijk always a flip of the coin.

[shinAUFC]

Its to hard to pick for mine

Come mid season any of , barker daish, bowles, melling, kostopolous , teeboy could step up into the starting 11 and i do get the feeling kossie wants to build something and let these kids grow.

Sadly i think usucar is done:( he is one of my favs at the club but kossie will always give the local boys a chance over a visa player.

Yep, and swap Dario and Barker-Daish. Though that's based on having seen very little of B-D in action admittedly.

Haha, to answer your question directly: ^those + a million more variants.

I have no idea how Kosmina is going to play, and thus cannot give you a single answer :/

.... Good news is, however, IMO we have a much more balanced squad than last season. We might still have multiple of players that can start in the same position, but unlike last year they're all pretty different. We no longer have 5 holding midfielders, we have 3 that are quite different players (Zenon-Ozzy-Pancho)

[RedsUnited]

I like this Irish fella.

[sevengoals]

We have the spirit back.

It's all looking good!
