As of right now (form included) what is your opinion on our strongest 11?

No account for injuries or the formation AN would play. Free reign for all!

Basically if you came in as Gaffer tomorrow and you had a full squad to choose from, who makes the cut and how do you set up.....
 
If I came in as gaffer tomorrow I'd choose the team based on opposition and form and not subscribe to the outdated and frankly completely unhelpful idea of having a 'first 11'. In the game last night I thought the players who hadn't played at the weekend looked stronger than they have in the past and that's a sign that we're doing alright, having a strong squad not a strong 11 players.
 
Rudd
Fisher Bauer Davies Hughes
Gallagher Pearson
Bodin Johnson Maguire
Moult

Don't think it's the best 11 players, but I think it is the best team on current form. Shame that Browne and Storey miss out but Johnson and Bauer have been great so far.
 
If everyone was fit then our strongest eleven based on performances this season might be:

Rudd
Fisher, Bauer, Davies, Hughes
Pearson, Gallagher
Barkhuizen/Bodin (just too close to call), Johnson, Maguire
Moult

But, of course, there is no Moult for pretty well the rest of the season so do we push Maguire forward and bring in Harrop who is gaining in stature every game, use Barkhuizen in a forward position which would solve the right of midfield conundrum or go with Stockley or when he is fit Nugent. Also Storey has looked good when called on and though wrong-footed Rafferty has played well enough at left-back for there to be little argument for an automatic recall for Hughes. It is odd that at the moment Browne does not feature in a strongest starting line-up for us - as I've said before no existing resource would strengthen us more than a return by Browne to full form.
 
Just watch the brief highlights of last night.Bayliss chase back and tackle Clean crisp punched passes by Ledson.Goal poaching along with dangerous runs into the box by Harrop.all these are worthy of a place before Gallagher.

So we'll just forget about his man of the match display against Wigan - goal and an assist.

Bet you're fun at parties.

On topic though, I'd like to see how Nugent would fair upfront in this creative team we have.
 
I am really looking forward to Nugent getting fit and playing in this team.
He is the automatic choice to play the striker, now that Moult is out.
There is no way Nuge will let us down, he has a point to prove and he will prove to the fans that he isn’t finished yet.
With the team playing like it is, he certainly should get the goals we want, goals are coming from all areas of the team and get him on the same wavelength as Maguire, the season could just take off!!
