Starting 11 -first round- new season

well, possibly the answer is no number 9, but goals from Williams, Burns, Nichols, Krishna and Singh. That is some exciting attack if it clicks, but no 15+ goal scorer makes us nervy. 

On the other hand, who knows? Fornaroli and Berisha weren't exactly household names 

WHilst Belisha was not a house hold name, if we had signed someone with his predigee, clubs and transfer fees at the time, I would have wetted myself

Just realised I forgot Singh.  I prefer this:

Kurto

Fox   Taylor   Doyle

Tratt                       Cacace

          Kopczyński 

    Singh            Nichols

Williams/Burns  Krishna

I think he's best for us as an out and out striker. Not saying he should be our only one, but we won't get anything better for this season. 

I think him, Burns and Williams as a front 3 is fine, with Singh and Nichols around as well. 

The big hole for me is midfield, assuming Tratt is going to fix our RB problem. We only really have Kopa and initial reports haven't been great. 

Not quite sure where to post this, but if this doesn't pump you up for a new season (despite the obvious 2014/15 highlights) then nothing will fire us up:

Is this 1960s Brazil or the Nix?

Season where we finished fourth before losing to City in Elimination final at home. Interesting enough, this was our pre-season too

that was a brilliant preseason, loved the newcastlke and westham games. The hope and promise of that team!

wow, great post. totally incomparable to the current pre season in almost every single way

It's really no surprise that a tough pre-season that kept the team engaged led to our best recent season.

Starting with games against the likes of Lower Hutt, Napier City etc. is fine - but we really should be ramping up by now
