To try to accomodate all of his new signings, DF has tampered with a winning formula and ended up with square pegs in round holes. I would go with the following on Saturday (assuming Turner is fit):
GK: Smith
RWB: Jones
CB: Pearce
CB: Preston
CB: Turner
LWB: Benning
CM: Bishop
CM: Mellis
CAM: Grant
ST: Walker
ST: Hamilton
If Turner isn't fit then I would pull Jones inot the right of the back three and play Atkinson at RWB. Whatever the case, Hamilton was in the form of his life as a striker - even attracting bids from Championship clubs. He's much less effective as a wing back.
Turner isn’t fit apparently so you’d rather have Atkinson in the 11 who gives us nothing going forward and isn’t particularly good at defending (and would be marking their best attacking player), over Ajose?
I can see why people have a bit of doubt with Ajose at the minute but I think we should stick with him. He’s got 1 goal (should be more admittedly), and 3 assists, but I think he links up well with Walker and Grant. He’s scored plenty of goals in his career and I think he’ll start bagging soon. For me Musings has the right 11 with Benning being pulled in to LCB. We are stronger with Benning there, Hamilton at LWB and Ajose up top in my opinion than Jones at CB and Atkinson at wing back.
CJ has been very effective up top, but we all know he will be better on the left than he is on the right so that’s the best solution for me considering injuries and suspensions.
