Poole on Friday will be a big test, I hope we start with our strongest 11.
According to Facebook the following have signed, what would your starting eleven be?
Bastick
Beasley
Blair
Bowles
Brookes
Buckler
Carmichael
Clarke
Egan
Griggs
Jerrard
Laird
Lanahan
Lowes
Martin
Mitchell
Ormrod
DPD
Storey
Symes
Vance
Watts
Weale
Winsper
Also may as well put Bearwish in assuming his trial will continue, also Sol Ayunga, I was very unsure about him last season, but he seems to have bulked up.

For me I would go (assuming Vance is out for some time):
------------------Weale------------------
---------Carmichael------Storey--------
Lanahan-------------------------- Martin
------------Lowes----Bowles------------
Bastick------------------------------Blair
-------------Ormrod--Bearwish----------
With five subs: Symes, Griggs, Ayunga, DPD, Jerrard (or Mitchell)

Has Symes actually featured for us yet? What positions do these Portland lot actually play?

Good point on Symes, I'm not sure, I think he was in the training photos, I don't think he will start straight away but would be a good option on the bench.
From the Portland players (and I may be wrong on some of them):
Bastick - either wing
Beasley - either wing?
Buckler - Left back?
Carmichael - Centre back
Clarke - No idea!
Watts - Centre midfield

I know Laird put him there against Bradford but to me that seems ridiculous considering how many midfielders we do actually have. With Storey a right sided defender i'd move him, Bowles and Lanahan around. I've not seen DPD play yet but heard good things so a potential replacement with Blair, seeing as I think he looks better in a more central position. ------------------Weale------------------ ---------Carmichael------Bowles-------- Storey---------------------------- Martin ------------Lowes----Lanahan------------ Bastick------------------------------DPD ----------Ormrod--Bearwish/Blair---------- |

Having not seen a game yet, only going on feedback from others. Still think we'll go with 3 at the back, so.....
----------------------Weale-----------------
------Storey------Bowles-----Carmichael-------
---Eagen-----------------------------Martin---
---------------Lowes--------Winsper-----------
--------------------Lanahan-------------------
---------------Ormrod------Bearwish/Blair-------

------------------------ Weale -------------------------------
--------- Storey ---- Bowles ---- Carmicheal ---------
Eagan------------------------------------------------- Martin
-------------------------- Lowes -------------------------------
Bastick -------------------------------------- Blair / DPD
-------------------------- Lanahan -------------------------------
----------------------- Ormrod/Blair-------------------------------
Griggs, Gerard, laird, Winsper, Brookes
The bench looks stronger than last season with no really weaknesses. I'd like to see Tom have a go up top but would settle for him to be my wide player. I like the idea of Bearwish but until he is a Dorch player there is no point putting him in my starting 11. Only play with the cards dealt!!!
Personally the only lads I feel have looked like even coping with the step up from Portland is Bastick and Charmicheal. Beasley could be worth keeping in the squad as a natural left sided left footed player just in case but can we keep someone for Justin case when we are blessed with numbers in midfield and I can't see a spot for him past Griggs, Gerard, lanners, Lowes, Blair, Bastick, DPD Winsper and a half fit Vance so do we need a 10th midfielder?
Really looking forward to seeing who starts on Friday but with Craig on holiday will it be his starting 11?

Given Lanner's goalscoring ability, I think the number 10 role is made for him.. |

I guess Jamie Symes could be on dual registration with Dorchester Sports and the Magpies? With the number of midfielders we have, this would make sense.

Not sure Jamie Symes is at the club, i went up and watched 3 training sessions but unless i am blind i cant remember seeing him there also not sure he has been listed at either pre season game yet. Perhaps he thought with all the midfielders that we have got that it is just not worth the hassle trying to get a place.

Cheers Justin.
In the Portland v Bridport match report, it stated that one of the goals was scored by "Dorchester trialist Leighton Thomas." Quick google says he's a Cayman Island international who was trialling with Yeovil last season.
