Aren’t they loaning out Souttar again for this season? Why play him if he’s leaving?

Play the team that starts vs Millwall. And for me that would be:
Davies Smith Collins Chester Fox Mikel Clucas Campbell Powell McClean Fletcher
Backs against the wall, go with Batth. But it's becoming tiresome how poor we look when Batth's required to do a bit of passing. And likewise it's stark how much better we look when we've got two at the back comfortable on the ball. I'd even be tempted to play Souttar or BMI instead of Chester.
Edit: McClean's away with Ireland, toss up between Ince or Tymon. I'd give it Ince considering his contribution vs Leeds. Davies away with Wales - Butland plays then.

Must admit I don't rate Edwards very much from what I've seen so far. He is still young though, but if the rumours about other clubs being interested are true I'd be very tempted to sell.

You've got to be a good footballer though. Beyond his threat from corners (which is very good in fairness), the only thing he offers when we've got the ball is a lump up field. And it is a lump. It's often got no direction and straight out of play. Holds us back so often. And I think a large reason we often have stinkers against teams we're expecting to get 3 points against stems from the defenders negative offerings on the ball.

Must be doing the manager's nut in with Internationals and friendlies meant to be taken place. How can you have a 1st class friendly if your players are missing?

Need to be shaping the team now for the first match.
Need to find our best pairing of CBs, so give Collins another chance to show what he can do.
Try Ince on the left again, with Campbell on the right.
Powell and Clucas need more game time to find form/touch.
Fletcher and Mikel needs more game time in their legs
------- Butland -------
Smith-Collins-Batth-Fox
Campbell-Mikel-Clucas-Ince
Powell Fletcher
Subs. who need game time/further look at: Edwards, Chester, OakleyB, Afobe, Tymon, Cousins (to cover Mikel when/if he needs to come off)

MON will take a whole raft of players to Newcastle to further their fitness for the new season. I am sure he has in mind his starting eleven for the new season but winning the game against Newcastle might be welcome but not his overidind motive this weekend.

I'm maybe a bit old fashioned about this, but for me the most important for a defender is to DEFEND. In my opinion Batth is really good at this, I'm sure he blocks more shots than any other defender in our team, he is the best defender in the air and he certainly is a threat on set pieces. I agree he could be better on the ball, but all the other parts of his play is so valuable to our team in my opinion.

He is not a top class defender and makes some mistakes, but he is certainly good as anyone we've got at defending. His passing is poor, but he does come up with goals. With Mikel or Allen in front of him to give the ball to we will be alright. More importantly, with defending it is teamwork that matters most. The defenders need to know each other's game, and play well together. As Alf Ramsay said to Jack Charlton when he asked why he had been selected: "I do not necessarily pick the best players, I pick the best team".
