[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1170675, member: 59968"] Yeah. This is my pretty much my view of things. No specialist 12 is a negative, but it's too soon for Hartley, Seb Atkinson's having a quiet season and Kelly has been shifted to 13. Ojomoh probably would have been the best shout from a form POV, but being second choice to Redpath isn't helping him. I think the A squad could be really interesting. Assuming there's some overlap between the squads, I think we're probably looking at 23 something like: 1. Baxter / Brantingham 2. Walker / Langdon 3. Painter / Opoku-Fordjour 4. [I]Coles[/I] / Hammond 5. Bamber 6.[I] Cunningham-South[/I] 7. Pepper 8. Barbeary / Fisilau 9. Warr / Porter 10. [I]F. Smith[/I] 11. Radwan 12. Ojomoh / Hartley 13. [I]Beard[/I] 14. [I]Roebuck[/I] / Sleightholme 15. Carpenter Edit: meant to put Hartley instead of Kelly. Rationale wise, I was going for players Borthwick has name checked recently or picked before (Walker). I’d pick Langdon ahead of Walker, but I thought it made sense to stick with club combos where possible. [/QUOTE]
