if you just look through the squad numbers it looks pretty damn good to me
1. Lillis
2.Joe Raff
3. Rhys Bennett ( if fit)
4. Cav (capt)
5. Ashley Eastham
6. Olly Lancashire
7 Peter Vincenti
8 Tutte
9. Our George
10. Reece Gray
11. Scott Hogan
That is quite a good starting 11 just by squad numbers .....
.....BUT......
Look a bit harder
we have the likes of
Matty Lund, Matty Done, Bastien Hery, BBM, Rosey, Hendo, And Steve Collis ,
not to mention the youngsters in the squad
Joe Bunny, Scott Tanser, Godwin Abadaki, Jamie Allen, Joel Logan, D'Arcy O'Connor
and
Jack O'Connell (unknown quantity)
pick a team or two from that lot
Yes this season has got all the signs of being a good one
We have seen them in Pre - Season giving everything they have
just do the same from Sat 3 Aug onwards and league 2 look out ..
The DALE are comming.

agreed. a starting XI of
LilliS
Bennet
Eastham
Lancashire
Rose
Cav
Lund
Vincenti
Done
Henderson
Hogan
with players like
Tutte, Donnelly, Hery, rafferty, Thomson, youngsters etc on the bench, is a better squad than we've had before in pre season in league 2 in my opinion. can't wait for the new season, think we'll be quality, especially judging by preseason |  | | |

gotta be Lund for me. watched him closely against Blackburn and his off the ball work defensively was superb, rarely misplaced a pass, was strong and fast definitely a suitable replacement for JK | | | |

I agree with the OP re the strength of the squad. I think this would be a cracking team -
Donnelly
Héry Bunney Logan
Tutte Lund
Tanser O’Connell O’Connor Rafferty
Thomson / Collis
Oh but hang on, that's my second team! First choice (currently!) is -
Henderson Hogan Vincenti Done
Allen Cavanagh
Rose Lancashire Eastham Bennett
Lillis
This is the team and formation as against Blackburn, except Lillis for Thomson, Bennett (when fit) for Rafferty, Allen for Lund, and Done for Héry.
Yes, there are so many close decisions, both in personel and positionally. Blooming heck, I haven't even got Gray, Abadaki and BBM in my second team! I found it so difficult to leave Donnelly out of my team. Also, Lund, Tutte, Héry and Logan have to be very close to Allen and Vincenti. I just feel Allen has the edge in energy and ability to find a position, á la JK.
We also have a shedful of very promising youngsters in the Under 18 team coming through.
