Starting XI today?

Post by Rich Tea Wellin »

They are known to be a bit of a bruising team, which we haven't done that well against this season. I'd be tempted to start Turley but where does that leave Brophy? I'd also be tempted to start Harrold to give us some physical presence but can he start games and do you then lose pace if we play on the counter attack?

Lots of interesting choices for JE to make.

IMO we'll start with:

Brill

Widdowson
Happe
Coulson
Ekpiteta
Turley

Clay
MacAnuff

Brophy

Bonne
Koroma

Subs:
Saergent
JMD
Lee
Simpson
Harrold

That’s exactly how I’d go.

Pretty much agree with that. Our forwards are going to get battered so would expect to see both Harrold and Simmo play a part too.

That is the starting eleven. Not sure about subs.

I'd start Harrold over Koroma and JMD in and Brophy on the bench. Brophy to come on when Turley inevitably tires and Koroma on for JMD when he tires. Both tearing them a new one on the break later in the game. That leaves someone on for Harrold towards the end if needed.

Edit: the actual starting XI is exactly as per your lineup. Kudos.

Starting 11 is the right one, subs all correct too, Dayton excluded this is our best 16. No excuses, let’s do this.
