    I'm not sure where Joe Gamble will fit in but going on the games I've seen this season...

    Devine
    Hoggy Murray Benno Murphy
    Doyler Colin George Nwankwo
    Fenn Flynn

    Of that team I think Nwankwo is probably most at risk from Stephen O'Flynn and Gamble, while he and Woods have done the business going forward, our full backs are often left exposed (especially so by Woods, Greg suffered last night in exactly the same way as Lordan suffered at home to Rovers, so he's not on my XI)

    I know I'll get stick for leaving Fenn in, but I wouldn't play John O'Flynn up front with Doyler, they'd be too similar, Gamble may replace George in Centre midfield with George up front.

    That would be my main worry. Some of those players just can't afford to be lost. Hopefully they are all going to act professionally enough to tkae it, improve and fight for a place.

    Cliché, but they are the type of problems managers want.

    Keeping the others happy will test Dolans man managenent skill to the limit.

    Still though, thats his job, and he is getting well paid. That said, rather him than me to make those decisions. Not going to be easy.
    If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

    Obviously, they won't all fit in the first team but to be honest it will be a welcome problem. Remember we don't just want to be a good City team we want to be a league winning one. Last night showed we aren't far off that standard but need more quality in a couple of positions.

    IMO that would need the back line strenghtened by bringing Derek back and Coleman if what I hear about him is true. Hoggie should come return to the first team too. I think Colin T has been punching above his weight in midfield and was exposed last night as Shels pressed forward. I would see Gamble going straight in there. I think the toughest calls will be the wing positions picking two of Billy, Kearney, Nwankwo, Doyler and Steve O' Flynn.

    The best 11 of an all fit squad plus prospective signings would be worthy of winning the league.

    .

    it would be a total injustice if colin t was dropped

    gamble should be made wait for his chance

    colin t has been one of our best performers this season and always plays well
