What should the starting eleven be?


With nearly all of our key players coming back from injury, Mick has a selection dillemma. Which defenders will play, one or two upfront? I was wondering what people think we should start with on sunday?

I like this:
GK: Hennessey
RB: Foley
CB: Michael Mancienne
CB: Christophe Berra
LB: Stephen Ward
RM: Michael Kightly
CM: Dave Edwards
CM: Karl Henry
CM: Nenad Milijas
LM: Matty Jarvis
FC: Kevin Doyle

With Hahnemann, Craddock, Zubar, Castillo, Halford, Maierhofer and SEB on the bench.

It is hard to leave SEB out, but I would go with two wingers who need to play together. Doyle has enough to play upfront on his own whilst I don't think Sylvan is as mobile and hard working.

Berra and Mancienne should be the two centre backs, but my guess is Craddock will pair Berra at the centre of defence with Mancienne at left back.

Mick might go with four in midfield. That will mean either Edwards/Milijas has to srop to the bench. It would be harsh for Edwards who has been one of our best players. Then Ebanks-Blake can play upfront with Doyle.

What formation do you think we should play? You may feel differently to me, so comment what you think.

    I reckon Hannehman, Zuber, Craddock, Berra, Ward - Edwards, Henry, Castillo, Jarvis - SEB Doyle. Not what I'd pick but I reckon that's what Mick will go with
