So it's finally arrived, after the roller coaster of pre season results all the hard work and preparation our unfortunate return to EFL2 kicks start this coming Saturday against Walsall at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium.

Thoughts will turn in the build up to the kick off and amongst those will be what team DA will put out after a record number of new recruits to wear the red shirt with pride.

If it was me who was making that selection my starting 11 would be as follows:

Moore
Senior
Rawson Bedeau
Stokes
JJ McKieran King Songo'o
Bloxham Mellon Mayor

The only possible place that could be in question for me is Songo'o who could be replaced by Love who did well in that midfield defensive role if only for about 30 minutes.

So that's me playing at being DA (sorry Derek ) but what staring 11 would other SVers pick..

Coin toss who starts in goal

Left back Stokes Badeau Rawson Senior

Yann JJ Davenport

Mayor Mellon Bloxham

Love needs to play. I am sure he has much pace as stokes. He would also be a better bet in midfield than Songo who looks off the pace imo.

Moore
Love Rawson Bedeau Senior
JJ Songo'o Davenport
Mayor Mellon Bloxham

Does need to be pointed out that Stokes has barely featured at LB this pre-season. Can't see us risking Melbourne and don't think we'll throw a new signing straight in. Songo'o didn't convince me against Wigan and I liked the look of King and also Love in the middle too, but reckon we'll go with Songo'o still. Think it'll most likely be what we've seen the past couple of games with:

Moore
Love - Rawson - Bedeau - Senior
McKiernan - Songo'o - Davenport
Mayor - Mellon - Bloxham

Yeah we should be pretty surprised if it's anything other than this. Maybe a case could be made for King over McKiernan but I doubt it.

Interesting to see that Moore seems nailed on to start the season in goal. You'd have thought Derek would be going with Smith but he must have seen something he likes in Moore.
