any chance of Madeuke debut against us. ;)

good point, funny how things work out. speaking of the uyl, i'd like to see a team along these lines this season:

de bie
hinds eyoma lyons-foster brown*
oakley-boothe skipp maghoma
markanday parrott bennett
very young attack but the rest of the team is experienced enough at this level. the likes of austin, dinzeyi, tanganga, duncan and roles can also be registered as one of five over-age players but i'd rather we focused on the younger group now - other than brown due to a lack of options as it might be a bit early for cirkin just yet.

Like that team, though good chance they could play Reynolds at LB though, I think Cirkin would be able to hold his own, he is an England international remember.

I reckon Madueke will likely feature against us, even if he starts on the bench.

Also Charlie Owens came on for his QPR debut yesterday, looking at comments quite a few people seem pleased with him. He is the most Carrick like of all players I've seen hope could have a good career

havent seen it done yet, but love to see binks at LB. It be great for his development and make him a better overall defender.

reynolds is out for the season unfortunately as otherwise he'd have been a certain starter you'd imagine.

He has played a couple of tournaments for England at u16 level in that position. It would help him develop but he doesn't strike me as the type to get up and down the wing, whereas I could see Eyoma playing there being the good dribbler he is. Then again that's the whole point of development., he would definitely be a more robust option than Cirkin though we'd be less of a threat in attack on that side.

This might just be me, but I see a lot of Vertonghen in young Binks which excites a lot. Binks should be able to hold his own offensively imo with his intelligence and technique making up for his mobility. Cirkin I'm not terrible fussed about yet, thou I know lots rate him.
