Wonder what formation we'll go with?
Reckon it might be one of these two

I reckon second is more likely than the 5 at the back formation, but Just and McCowatt to be on the opposite sides. Elliot vs Ingham will be tight, I don’t know if they have been in competition for spots before given Ingham was injured for the 2019 U20s and Hay won’t have the same love Hudson had for him. Final debate will be Stensness vs Stamenic, mrsmiis will be able to vouch for Stamenic more than me, but I think if Stamenic plays, then Bell will play the 6, where he played in the November 2019 AWs games. Stamenic probably moves the ball a lot better, but he’s not as defensive and destructive as Stensness, not to mention lacks the experience of Stensness.
yeah, ideally I'd like to see us take the game to our opponents, and playing both Bell and Stensness in a midfield three makes it harder to do so (even though Bell's not terrible at this). I'd personally have Bell sitting deep, Stamenic box-to-box, and Lewis a playmaker. 

Second formation will almost certainly be it - no way we play five at the back when we actually have a good chance of progressing, and I don't trust either of our right-backs being our primary source of offense on the right flank.

No Singh makes this much harder for us
