Serious suggestions for starting 11 next season

Far from easy (and will probably be a lot clearer nearer the start of the campaign after the friendlies are out of the way), but here's my guess (based on the current squad of players)

-------------- Ruddy ----------------

Martin Bassong Turner Olsson

Snodgrass Fer Redmond Pilkington

-----------RVW Hooper -------------

Serious suggestions for starting 11 next season (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 12:47:36
- You realise what a squad we have when you try (NCFC) - trianglepatch, Jul 29, 13:24:14
  - Redmond has been the stand out player preseason... will at least make (NCFC) - Pixelman, Jul 29, 13:27:18
    - Plus hughton obviously has a soft spot for him (and rightly so) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 13:29:06
  - harsh on redmond and tettey (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 13:26:43
- It will be a defensive, cautious start, till about April (n/m) (NCFC) - bartender100, Jul 29, 13:14:46
  - That was so 2012/13 (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 13:17:17
  - That was so 2012/13 (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 13:16:16
    - oops, fat fingers hit send too early (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 13:17:55
- I too prefer a four for Fer (n/m) (NCFC) - yarmyyarmy, Jul 29, 13:12:19
- i reckon there'll be more squad-rotation and it won't be 1 starting XI (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jul 29, 13:10:45
  - True (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 13:13:36
- If we get Quag I'd go with... (NCFC) - bjg123, Jul 29, 12:54:23
  - Far too narrow without Holt harassing the channels. (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 29, 12:57:48
    - But he's gone (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 12:58:40
      - Yes he is. I just don't think such a narrow 3 behind will work without Holt (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 29, 13:05:52
        
        a Pilks or Redmond would be better I think (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 13:07:57
  - so rotate hooper with rvw then, not play them together if quag joins? (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 12:56:31
- I reckon it will be a bit lesss revolutionary. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 29, 12:52:33
  - Strong bench though! We're building a nice squad this year (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 12:57:24
  - Quaggs for Becchio on the bench IF we buy him, and Alderweireld for Turner (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 29, 12:56:35
    - Howson had a great finish to last season (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 13:00:38
      - he had a decent finish to the previous season as well..... (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 29, 13:24:29
        
        best keep him stored away til end of next season then, with our tough run in (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 13:30:44
        
        He's the new Clint Easton (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jul 29, 13:25:38
        
        Didn't he die his hair a stupid colour (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 13:29:50

- Mine (again) (NCFC) - Old Man, Jul 29, 12:51:50
  - Hughton definitely seems to rate Redmond and his giving him decent game time in the (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 12:55:07
  - 2nd option like (n/m) (NCFC) - Dandy Highburyman, Jul 29, 12:53:27

  - Don't like (n/m) (NCFC) - Dandy Highburyman, Jul 29, 12:53:40
  - I'm not sure about who's going to get the nod out of this lot tbh (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 12:53:39
    - with wes, quag (??), rvw and hooper fighting it out for the front spots/hole (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jul 29, 12:56:08
