Our best team, if everyone is fit and ready?

Mon Feb 16, 2026 9:44 am

Very difficult to name, every payer that comes back in does a good job!

We more or less, have five or six different options, depending on who we are playing.

Trott
NG Chambers Osho Bagan
Wintle. Robertson
R Colwill
Willock. Kellyman. Tanner

Extremely difficult but on another day Salech Joel lawlor Turnbull.would be in.

Very difficult to say because the key to our success so far has been the rotation.

But I'd say:


Trott
Ng Chambers Osho Bagan
Wintle Robertson
Tanner Joel Willock
Salech

As daft as it sounds I don't think we have a best team.

To me it's the matchday squad with all 16 of them playing a part at different times during the game.

Trott

Chambers & Lawler
NG . Bagan
Wintle & Turnbull

Joel Colwill.. Rubin Colwill

Robinson Kellerman.

Above side for 65 mintues.

Then completely change stretch the game by bringing on two wingers on in
Tanner ,Wilcox and bog lad up front ie Salech .

I agree, I'll have a go, but I know if I look again in two minutes, I'll pick a different team.

TROTT

NG Lawlor Chambers BAGAN

Robertson

Rubin Joel

Tanner Kellyman Willock


TROTT BAGAN NG in every team so far, I think.

I can't believe how many options we now have, and players like Kpacio, Fish and others don't get a start in any team!

Not really sure if that midfield would work, but i'd llove to see it.

Nye above, probably helped me :thumbup:

Great question. If we were in a play-off final, with all fit, I would go with..

GK: Trott. No questions.
RB: NG. Back to his very best under BBM after a season and a half of decline.
CB: Chambers (c). Very important in both attack and defence.
CB: Lawler. Harsh on Osho, but I think his stand out performances earlier in the season warrants a place.
LB: Bagan. Dark horse for player of the year for me.
CDM: Wintle. Really shocked me. Added fight to his passing game. Very important player in top form. BBM version of him is the best we've seen.
CDM: Robertson Too good at L1 level. BBM version of him is the best we've seen.
RW: Tanner. 8 assists and has the best assists/game ratio in the league. BBM version of him is the best we've seen.
LW: Willock. Probably the weak point in this 11, but still performing well. On it, is unplayable in this league.
CF: Rubin: Harsh on Joel but is fotmobs 16th best rated player in the whole of L1 (highest attacking from our club).
ST: Salech: Best striker in the league.

Osho & Joel are the two that just miss out for me; but current form are firmly in the 11.

Another in the 'BBM's done a TOP job' by getting some of these performing at their peak. :clap:
