Your starting XI vs Preston?

Go on.

[Loyal royal 247]

Al habsi
Gunter
Obita
Cooper
Mcshane
VDB
Swift
Quinn
Beerens
Rakels /meite
Mcleary (if fit) or fosu

[Royal_Biscuit]

If we're assuming the 4-3-3, my personal lineup would be:

Al-Habsi
Gunter, McShane, Cooper (Moore if he's in), Obita
Van den Berg
Evans, Williams
Tanner, Kermorgant, Swift

But reckon Stam will likely have Beerens instead of Tanner and even Kelly in there somewhere.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Al-Habsi

McCleary, Kermorgant, Beerens

[BonBoh]

Al-Habsi
Gunter, McShane, Moore/Cooper, Obita
Van den Berg
Williams, Quinn
Swift, Rakels, Beerens

Good shout, Pepe. I'd switch Swift and Beerens over, putting Beerens on the right wing and Swift on the left.
We might see Evans in for Quinn.

Al-Habsi
Gunts, Macca, Cooper, Obita

Presuming no Liam Moore...

Al-Habsi, Gunter, McShane, Cooper, Obita, Williams, Van Den Berg, Quinn, Swift, Rakels, Beerens

[MJ1871]

Going with the likely 4-3-3:

Al-Habsi
Gunter McShane Moore Obita
Swift JVDB Williams
McCleary Samuel Beerens

Cooper in for Moore if he hasn't signed in time.
Tanner in for McCleary if he's still injured.
Mendes/Kermorgant in for Samuel depending on who's fit.

VDB at CB. Better in the ball than Cooper. We desperately need a new defender.

[RoyalCrisp]

Al-Habsi
Gunter
Cooper (or hopefully Moore)
McShane
Obita

Then the lottery of who's fit, ideally...

Evans
Van den Berg
Swift

Beerens
Kermogant
Rakels


This given that it sounds like Quinn, McCleary and Mendes are all injured. Not a bad team with Moore and one more striker, most years I'd be confident but given the spending going on in the Championship this year it's difficult to say how we'll compete. Though against Preston you'd be disappointed not to win.

McXleary has trained all week and is fit.

Believe Samuel and McCleary are injured.
*Not sure on Danzell being fit, if he is then Keown Tanner or Stacey.

[SCIAG]

I want:

Al Habsi; Gunter, McShane, Cooper, Obita; Swift, Kelly, Evans; Beerens, Rakels, Tanner
Subs: Bond, Gravenbech, Watson, VDB, Williams, McCleary, Kermogant

But I'd be happy for Kermogant and/or McCleary to come in at the expense of Tanner, I just wouldn't risk them given they haven't had a pre-season. Give them a run-out if opportunity presents itself.

Expect we'll get:

Al-Habsi; Gunter, McShane, Gravenbech, Obita; Williams, VDB, Evans; Beerens, Rakels, Swift
Subs: new guy, Cooper, Watson, Evans, Tanner, McCleary, Kermogant

Again, wouldn't be surprised to see Kermogant or McCleary playing if Stam thinks they're ready.
