Looks like 4-3-3 shifting to 5-4-1 in defence? I'd expect Small to stay up the pitch. Mind it's just Bamber Bridge so mainly a runabout, more curious to see what the second half team looks like now

 

[Alpine White]

Let’s see if Lang is Bellingham fit, Rice fit or only Saka fit

 

[OB1]

Iversen

Pol Offiah Lindsay Hughes Small

Thompson

Devine Moran

Osmajic Lang

In all the hype of the Devine signing I almost forgot our squad really isn’t very good at the moment

 

[keithaw]

Without including the young players, we don’t have enough senior players to make 22 players, enough to play 2teams etc. so we will have to play some young players, unless we have some players on trial? Which we don’t often do recently apart Andy v

Honestly is that not better than most of our 11s last season?

I would hope Pasiek, Wilson, Carroll and O`'Sullivan (if fit) get a run out.

Wonder if they will get asked about transfers etc?🙈🤦😂😂

 

[HunterLionheart]

Could easily be 4-2-3-1 right?

Small and Lang as the wide attackers, Hughes and Pol at full back?

Would’ve expected Offiah to play the second half at RB if it was.

One of those weird ones where if it is, I’ve got no confidence it signals a chance of system because it’s only Brig, but if it isn’t, I’m even more convinced it’ll be more of the same

Potts, Storey, Gibson and Vuk as a back 4 for the second half?

Who knows!

The Brig Team Warming up tonight

 

[Alpine White]
