I feel like every season there is the odd numpty on here saying glen is too old, and we should replace him with some keeper thats hardly played a game before. I can count on one hand the bad games he’s had in what must be 6/7 seasons! We certainly wouldn’t be a league club without him. Last season was possibly his best so I don’t see any deterioration or from pre season games.
I don’t get too caught up in preseason results, and although we are playing it out I’m hopeful we will have the sense to know when to clear our lines rather than be too predictable.
Lynch is a massive player for me. Keep him fit and I don’t see many better in our league. Tilley as well I though he was fantastic last season in various roles and has looked like he might be maturing into a very very good player so looking forward to what seeing him this year. Hess and Payne always put in solid performances, but I don’t really know how the midfield will lineup Saturday. Looks likely Telford, Nadesan and Nichols up front.
We’ve signed a lot of young players, time will tell whether they can make that step up to the pro game. At least we have the reserve games if they need time to develop.
Hence why I've said we should start off with Morris in league games and see what Addai can do in cup fixtures
One of my pet hates in football is picking a keeper based on his ability with his feet and not shot stopping etc, Morris should still be number 1, for now. I agree everything said about Lynch, he is one of the first names on the team sheet for me. Payne has to start for me in the middle and a front 3 of Nichols, Appiah and Telford is up there with the best in the league.

That was what went wrong in Guardiola's first season at Man City when he signed a goalie who was alright at passing but couldn't save a shot for toffee. Soon as he rectified that the following summer by bringing in Ederson they have been the dominant team really in this country.
I would still keep Glenn as first choice for league matches because when it comes to shot-stopping I still belive he is up there with the best in L2, but hopefully Corey will really push him this year and apart from the mistake in QPR match I think he has looked very good in pre-season
Lynch is injured. Tsaroulla is injured. I don't think Morris will be involved. GKs will be Corey and the new keeper from Brentford.
Must admit I didn't know about Lynch tbf. Guessing Omole and Addai will be added into my starting XI, with Ransom and this potential new keeper on the bench

Yeah and I would add picking defenders (mainly full backs) for their passing and attacking ability rather than their defending ability.
For example, I’m not the biggest fan of Southgate, but I think he’s right not to pick Alexander-Arnold for England for that reason because I don’t think he’s that good a defender. Trent can get away with playing so high up for Liverpool because of the system they play and by virtue of having Van Dijk, Matip and Alison in the team they can make up for most of his mistakes at the back.
I have heard from a reliable source of a couple of first team players who have not travelled up to Carlisle too but don't want to say who on here in case I turn out to be wrong
