Taking Shape

I think Dudgeon will definitely be first choice left back, if Dawson didn't have an automatic extension clause in his contract, I don't think he'd even be at the club now.

i think he will be plying his trade across the river by Sept. Either loan with a view to, or indeed perm free transfer. I suppose it ll be about wages, being as his wages are still Duffen/Brown related one would assume

I heard a whisper that Brownie wanted him at Preston and we were considering using him as a makeweight in any deal to get Treacy.
 
Can't believe you're all writing off Dawson! I'd be surprised if he gives up his place without a fight.

I wont write off Dawson just yet. I expect Dawson to start as first choice with Dudgeon fazed in during the season.

Dawson should start the Blackpool game and Dudgeon the Macclesfield game. Nice easy one to start with eh Joe.? lol
 
Sure is to early to start picking teams, but that isn't going to stop anyone. You may pick players who are injured until October, players who are likely to leave and add goal keepers who do not play for us.
It's all part of the fun.
 
That team would walk this league!

Nine of those eleven are contracted Hull City players. We all know a goalkeeper is coming and to be fair Given did look like the weak link in that team. Perhaps those nice people at Liverpool will sell us Ayala and lend us a Keeper. It would be rude no to find a place on the bench for recently purchased players.

Oxley,Chester,Evans,Mckenna,Adebola,McClean, plus chuck in a Barmby for old times sake.

We could do worse!
 
If Ayala did sign (big IF) could we play this?

..................Galacsi

........Ayala....Hobbs......Chester

Rosenior................................Dudgeon

...........McKenna.......Evans/Koren/Bollard/Olofinjana....

Stewart..........Fryatt..........Simpson
 
More likely would be:

Gulacsi
Rosenior Ayala Hobbs dudgeon
Chester
Evans McKenna
Stewart fryatt Simpson

Not saying I'd rather see that as chester is clearly best at centre half but I can see NP trying it.
