.the players you listed are all fit and assume bailey and diamond are wingers in that formation? Just realised I put this in the wrong thread, but yeah, Bailey and Diamond as wingers. 4-3-3 Barry and Diamond wingers

Pre season stats (off memory) Formations - 433/343 Games - 6 Win - 2 Draw - 0 Loss - 4 Goals for - 5 Goals against - 6 Injurys - 10 (4 players not playing a match + mellon who played 15/20 minutes) . For anyone else who is trying to remember who the 4 players who haven't played in preseason are: Tanto Powell Rydel MSH It took me a minute to recall them all. Grim. Throw in Mellon’s and Stretton’s injuries and we are struggling up front

Absolutely no idea what we’ll put out on Saturday, but our injury list makes it a little easier to guess. Anyone have any idea if any of the below are out? Ben Mingi / Horsfall / Pye / Touray Bate / Bailey / Diamond / Collar Barry / Wootton .the players you listed are all fit and assume bailey and diamond are wingers in that formation? Adding to this (as not really followed pre-season), which players that Dunk hasn't mentioned above are Fit and could be available on Saturday?

I think the club have had a fantastic window and improved both the quality and profile of the squad but can't help feeling like we're under prepared for Saturday. Clearly, injuries are again a massive factor but not sure DC knows anything near his preferred starting 11 if everyone fit and not sure players have the minutes under their belt.
I know we shouldn't read too much in to pre season results but we didn't seem particularly clinical and worried we'll be subjected to our usual poor start in August. The only time I've ever felt particularly confident/ready for the season was 07/08 having just missed out on the playoffs at Darlo we added a few players and seemed to have a strong pre season in terms of results/performances and hit the ground running. I worry that the vast overhaul of the squad (including several trialists at the weekend), injuries and lack of minutes will be a big factor.

Even if we start similarly to last season, I think by the end of September we will be purring again. Maybe go on one of those runs Chally teams seem to go on - winning/unbeaten streak of 10-12 games. I think by the end of the Xmas programme, we will be in and around POs.

Sorry a bit late, but Carlisle fan here. Thought I'd put a few thoughts on here about yesterdays game. Thought County looked disjointed and seemed to lack awareness and a bit 'leggy', probably caused by two games in two days. I realised you probably played two different teams which I thought was very strange, considering its so close to the start of the season, which I'm sure contributed to the performance. Can't really comment too much on individual players although the two trialist's were ok but its probably highly unlikely they'll get offered deals with that performance. Jack Diamond was IMO just OK, bit like last season with us, which is probably understandable considering what he went through, but to cement a place in your team he's going to have to do much better. The tall centre forward (sorry don't know his name) looked like he could cause a few problems but he never really got the service. And Hinchcliffe, in my opinion is one of the best goalkeepers in the lower divisions, how he kept Dennis header out at Wembley I'll never know WHAT A SAVE!!! Anyway, strange how things develop we thought we would get to the 3rd tier and say goodbye to this godforsaken division for a long time, and yet here we are 12 short Months later! back where we started, and the team we conquered that day are now in the Division above. Anyway best of luck folks, even though we know we were well underprepared for that division I have to say the standard of football really surprised me, I think your going to have to be 'on it' for every single game to get somewhere. All the best. I don't mean to be disrespectful but I think we're better equipped than you were for league one, I think team spirit carried you a long way in league 2, i'm pretty sure you'll make the play offs at least this time round.

'Hit the ground running' We won on the opening day, but then didn't win again until 22nd September (2 out of first 7) and had only won 4 out of 12 by end of October. We picked up massively from December on but it was a pretty poor start and we were 17th at end of November.

I distinctly remember someone being furious that he was stood on the touchline and laughed.

I distinctly remember someone being furious that he was stood on the touchline and laughed. Yep, plenty were calling for his head. We lost 5 in a row at home, lost to Staines, way down the table. I remember thinking the last minute Poole equaliser at Bradford two days after Staines was the turning point but we then lost to Lincoln on the Tuesday night. It was the Saturday after that we battered Wycombe 6-0 and never looked back.

Leaving Ben aside, that’s unfair on Corey who’s far better than anyone else brought in except arguably Vit Jaros. f*ck Vit Jaros, all my homies hate Vit Jaros. Wasn’t going to respond to this, but having listened to the SK3 TV podcast last night with Liam discussing the goalkeeper position (49:50 for about a minute), I think the record does need putting straight, as it would suggest that one of us is correct in our assessment of Vit Jaros and in tune with the club’s thinking, and the other (plus homies) isn’t . Partly applies to Suedehead also with the silly ‘…on commission’ remark. Jaros has gone and is irrelevant, but if Corey Addai starts on Saturday, I hope he’s not going to be faced with similar negativity just because he’s replaced Ben; everyone now needs to embrace the fact that for only the second time since Ben arrived, we have two No 1’s either of whom could be No 1 in any other team in this division.

I was very clearly joking and referencing a popular internet meme.

There wasn't a single piece of negativity towards Jaros when he was in the team. Everyone got behind him and recognised he was a decent keeper. It'll be the same with Addai, if/when he plays. If he ends up like Ethan Ross then he'll get stick, but that'll be because he's dodgy, not because he's replaced Ben.
