I think (unless we get a winger or two in) that his first choice team will have the midfield diamond with Green at its base, Rudi and Murphy central and McCormack at the point. The 2 up top will be Hunt and one of Varney / Poleon / Smith - if the front two don't work or when Diouf is fit, Diouf will be the top of the diamond (and in his absence White) and Ross will move into the strikers role.
So team is (with back up in brackets) Kenny (Ashdown) Byram/ Lees / New Signing/ Warnock (Peltier,Killock,Pearce, Drury) Green (Brown) Austin / Murphy (Tonge / Norris) McCormack (Diouf or White) Hunt / Varney (Poleon / Smith) McD So for Saturday v Brighton with Byram out , no new signing, Austin suspended I think he will start Kenny Peltier, Lees, Pearce, Warnock Green Murphy Tonge McCormack Hunt Varney (of course Brian could have widely different ideas - both in terms of personnel and general shape ) It looks short of width , pace and excitement but may be able to 'do a job' As we saw last year , most games will be very tight and a good run puts you in the play offs and a bad one has you looking at relegation Whatever, I have had a nice break from football , a couple of pre -season looseners (Farsley and Nurnberg) and am raring to go - nice 11.45 in the pub for a few pre match scoops with LU mates on Sat. Just hope the team are in the same mind frame - all ready and raring to go, and looking forward to a more postive atmosphere and a bigger crowd.
