Who do you think our best 11 is?
Fod
Hodson Wilson Hill Wallace (c)
Rossiter
Windass Holt
O'Halleron Dodoo Mckay
I feel players like Tav and Waghorn are over rated. I think Rossiter and Crooks are our best signings this summer and Crooks would feature in defence over Hill of we don't sign a centre back. Barton and kranjcar in particular are currently lacking fitness and I don't believe that Niko currently has the legs to oust the likes of Windass and Holt for that position. For me Rossiter is the best signing we have made in decades when you consider it was for £250k. Hodson makes the defence look a lot more solid and has really impressed me considering Tav can't defend. Good time to be a Ranger.

I think hodson is a better fullback than tavernier but I think tavernier will start on saturday I also wouldn't be surprised if it's the same back 4 from last season like you say I wouldn't start barton are kranjcar because of lack of fitness. Rossiter has to start. And I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same front 3 from last season. I personally don't think miller should be near first 11.

Dodoo and MOH on for Waggy and Windass after the hour.
This would be my 11 v a good team. Against a lesser team Niko would be in instead of Halliday, a just feel a midfield of Barton, Rossiter and Haliday would boss any midfield in the country. Niko is a great weapon to have but until he's fit he's a luxury in the big games. When he's fit he's in in front of Haliday for me. A feel sorry for Holt and Forrester but a can't see them starting many this year. They both needed a great pre season and unfortunately none of them have.
I like Hodson but anyone starting him over Tav needs their head seen to after the amount of goals and assists he contributed last year. Take his stats out our team last year and we wouldn't have won the league, simple.

Many people disagree without actually telling me why usual then. Who would you rather start? Haliday Kranjcar Barton like we did on Saturday providing literally no drive or pace in midfield. We have 3 cb's and RK is notoriously the worst of the bunch. Tav can't defend for shit let's not pretend that he can in comparison to Hodson who actually looks a defender. Miller won't cut it this season. Waghorn has had one good season against nobody's and as usual goes missing in big games (Burnley on Saturday) . I didn't say who would start on saturday I said who do you think or best eleven is and for me currently this is our best eleven and to justify otherwise would be interesting for me to read but as usual people just down vote if you say anything negative. I don't know how Haliday gets any where near your eleven with our current squad.

Tav, Crooks, Wilson, Wallace
Barton, Rossiter,

Wags, Windass, McKay.
That's the team i'd pick but fully expect Kiernan, Halliday and Miller to play this weekend.

I agree rositter was an excellent capture, I don't however get why people are hailing crooks before the guy has even kicked a ball for us.
Halliday is decent and you can't fault his effort, personally think you're being bit harsh on him.
I hope your wrong about waghorn as if he struggles then I think we will. Don't see any of our other strikers threatening the 20 goal Mark.
Let's also hope tav has been working on the defensive side of his game. He needs to.

FODS - doesn't deserved dropped.
TAV - Defensively poor but crucial to our dynamic and forward play.
WILSON - Best of bad bunch
HILL - Communication vital and dropping him after poor game could ruin his whole season
WALLACE - Captain
BARTON - Best passer and CDM
ROSSITER - His box to box energy.
WINDASS - if fit or Halliday.
WAGHORN - can't figure out why people are dropping him he's our top scorer! Links up well with Tav.
MCKAY - Crucial to our play and link up with Wallace
MILLER - He has been off the boil (to say the least) but I do not see Dodoo/ Windass/ Waggy as a out and out striker and this shows we need one. Also Miller knows the opposition better than others.

Hallidays looked the best player in pre season imo.

Got to disagree when you say waghorn is over rated. No one is saying the boy is world class. However he did score 28 goals last season aswell as being out injured so give him a chance at least. Sure it wasn't the premier league so we can maybe judge him on this season.
