Southern United first team should be (using available players)
Batty
Cotter Joy Hogan Ferguson
Brook Connor Ridden McClennan
Stewart Coldicott
But it will be
Batty
Howard Joy Fitzpatrick Hayman
McClennan Ridden Neavason Ryder
Stewart Rickerby
Hogan isn't a centre back, Connor doesn't complete enough passes to play in the middle of the park and Coldicott with his current form will be no threat to any defender in the ASB Premiership.
Hogan could be but would take a while for him to adapt, yes Connor has bags of quality and experience so probably deserves a starting spot somewhere in the line-up. Hard decision with not many top strikers around, wouldn't go for Rickerby only scores goals against the bottom 2 teams in the league, generally can't hit a barn door so wouldn't back him for Southern. Would be better off throwing a young gun up top maybe the likes of Kiore, L Jackson or Rahan Ali?
