Team on 14:06 - Aug 14 with 2999 views | A1079 | Beat me to it Bicester. McCarthy as first choice in goal and Stephens over Bednarek. I may be proved wrong (indeed I hope I am) but on what I have seen I really don't understand how McCarthy is the first choice at all. Strong(ish) bench. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Team on 14:07 - Aug 14 with 2990 views | City_boy | I can only assume McCarthy and Stephens (playing at right back) have some compromising pictures to keep getting picked. Bizarre given the players on the bench. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Team on 14:08 - Aug 14 with 2989 views | saint22 | I am seriously begnning to doubt Ralph’s management skills KWP was arguably our most consistent performer last year and now he gets the elbow No FF again what the hell is wrong with Ralph And Stephens over Bednarek Walcott instead of Stuart?.??

I did see something that suggested Armstrong may have an injury - otherwise strange choice. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Team on 14:12 - Aug 14 with 2948 views | JimmyMeliaPhD | Ralph starts the season as he spent last season--making strange team selections. McC, Livramento, Stephens, Salisu, Perraud, JWP, Romeu, Walcott, Djenepo, A.Armstrong, Adams. At least Redmond isn't starting, but this definitely looks dodgey to me. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Team on 14:28 - Aug 14 with 2840 views | Bicester_North | I can only assume Bednarek isn’t 100% fit and that’s why we have the depressing sight of Stephens starting for yet another season. Unless Ralph is f*cking mental. But as he picked McCarthy, he probably is. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Livramento was easily our best player in the pre-season game he played. He was a class above the rest of the team. I agree with Ralph selecting him. In fact, I'd have been very disappointed if he hadn't. But McCarthy???? That makes no sense whatsoever He's been terrible in pre-season and was the worst goalkeeper in the league last season with the worst saves to shots ratio. It's like handing Everton a goal start.
