So I finally bothered to take in a pre-season friendly prior to the big kickoff next week, yesterdays game together with match reports on all the other games makes me wonder if we know our best side for next week. For what its worth heres mine...
Welch
Ming Harwood Swaibu Patterson(Rhule if hes not fit)
PJD Fuseini(fit?) Waldren Malcolm (Jarrett is suspended but is he even fit?)
Pacquette (has he signed?) Araba
Thoughts?

I would pick this side ! Welsh. Sobers. Swaibu. Pjd Waldren Fuseini. Peach. Rhule. Pacquette Ali C. The old 3 5 2. Suits our personnel. Jarrett would start if available

seems fair to me. I didn't get to yesterday's game but in the few I've seen, Waldren and Fuseini look strong in the middle, and other than the front 2 I'd say that injuries notwithstanding that team picks itself...(I am taking it that Warren is still injured ?). How did Chabaan play yesterday ? Is Welch back to full fitness ? With him onboard we have a decent keeper and 2 good centre backs, + Ming in at RB which has historically been a bit of a problem position for us, so plenty to be optimistic about. Loved the Olympics, now with batteries recharged for the new season, it's come on you Ravens.

Very hard to know exactly what MG has got from pre-season. Looks like a massive injury head ache and more questions than answers. If fit I'd go with:
Welch Ming Harwood Swaibu Patterson PJD Fuseini Waldren Rhule Araba Chaaban
Sobers McDonnell Pacquette Peach Malcolm
I would also would have gone with 3-5-2, but guess it's too late to change it now. Ming and Patterson or Rhule can play wing back.

I doubt MG knows his starting XI !!
I've not been to a game yet this season (and doubt i'll bother going to many if honest!) so cant really guess a line up but some slots are shoe-ins !!!!(Welch, Swaibu, Harwood, Patterson, The Hak etc)
Still think we'll be mid table at very best this season!!! And that depends on us staying injury free and "chaos" free!

Actually, not that many 'shoe-ins' imo. Welch in goal, definitely. Ming Harwood Swaibu Patterson at the back - Ming has been brilliant, but will, no doubt, get many a red card and is a bit of a risk with the number of penalties he may give away, but the fella is real class, just needs to start the anger management sessions. Swaibu is the only 100% shoe-in there, as Sobers, Rhule and one or two others are def. contenders for a starting place. PJD Fuseini Waldren and A N Other - Jarrett when back from suspension, probably a toss-up between Rhule, Malcolm, Peach, but plenty knocking on the door for a midfield place. Probably going to mainly depend on who we are playing, but at a pinch I think I'd take Malcolm. Up front, Pac Man and Chaaban - Wazza replacing Chaaban when fit. Pac Man plays a very similar game to Hak - strong, powerful, big guy, but, imo (from watching him at Eastbourne a couple of seasons ago) has a lot more positional sense, is faster and a much more powerful shot, plus he is an expert at holding the ball up when he needs support. If (and I do not know) we have signed him for the season I think that he makes pretty much the final piece that is needed for a damn fine squad, and would expect him to be on over 20 league goals a season at this level.
subs Hak, Rhule, Peach, Sobers and, probably, a keeper.
And I'd say that only Welch, Swaibu and Fueseini are 'shoe ins' and pretty hard to be kept out by any of the rest of the squad, although Pac Man would be there (if signed) and, probably, Jarrett when back from suspension. I must say, though, I would not be at all surprised if the first three games (Staines, Chelmsford and Eastbourne) see sixteen or more Bromley players in the various starting elevens!

As others have said, we have a side that looks designed for 3-5-2, but given in pre-season MG played Rhule at left back rather than try it, I guess he feels you can't play that formation in BSS successfully. I'd go Welch Sobers Swaibu Harwood Ming waldren Fuseini Jones Patterson PJD Pacquette/Hak
With the option of adding for attacking players 2nd half if required, Peach looks a good option to ping the passes out to get attacks going.
But as it looks like 442 all the way, I'd go Welch Ming, Swaibu, Harwood, Patterson PJD, Fuseini, Waldren, Jones Pacquette, Hak Not easy though is it, as could easily change a couple of players every time I decide. Part of me would like to start with Peach & build a side to make the most of his talents. Depends in the opposing defence height/speed a little too, as could go with PJD/Ali C upfront in some circumstances & Malcolm up front when Jarrett is back. Do wonder whether a couple less pre-season games & a more progressive fitness campaign would be better, but I guess financially these games all help a little.

When everone is fit & avaliable we dont look to have a bad squad assuming the likes of Pacquette,Araba stay . Jones will be out Tutu this year filling in where needed & always giving 100%,we look to have competition for places .Hoping for a good season ,top half ,1st Rd of Fa Cup & entertaining football.

Certain Non-League websties reoprt that we have signed Pacquette. It's fair to say 'well travelled' sums up his CV!

I'm afraid we are predictable. Study our squad it crys out for 3 5 2.

We have to be robiust for the visit to Chelmo or we'll be looking at another drubbing. I'd go with; Welch Ming Sobers Swaibu Patterson Waldren Jones Fuseini Dubois Araba
Subs: Rhule Pacquette Harwood Malcolm Chaaban
PJD playing behind Hak and dropping into midfield when we are defending.

We were torn to shreds down the wings on Tuesday, we must combat this...
Chrouchy has a point about 3-5-2 but that wont happen for now so in that case
Welch Ming Swaibu Harwood Patterson Dubois Fuseini Waldren Jones Hak/Malcolm Pacquette
Malcolm isnt a winger so that experiment must stop Jones is more robust than Rhule Dubois had a better game than Saturday but he must protect Ming, who is far better going forwards than backwards...
Hak and Paquette are a better bet at bullying defenders and/or holding the ball up...
The other option is to pack the middle of the park and play Pacquette up front on his own and put Jones in the middle and Rhule left...

Regardless of points/goals up to now, you'd take 0-0 away to Chelmsford any day & we need to be solid to manage this, Danny & Ali will have to work really hard & we need another player helping them in the middle. I'd be interested to hear MG's thoughts & reasons behind team selection - the stuff we generally read doesn't give much away. I just can't fathom out why we've been trying to play 442 upto now with Ming supressed at RB & Malcolm as Mash says, not really a left winger. Is it simply that he's keeping the shirt warm for Albert & MG didn't want to alter the formation just for 3 games?
Is Albert actually fit to return against Tonbridge? What's happened to Peach? I'd still love to have seen us play 532 in pre-season & see what Ming can do in that role, & Peach in a middle 3, stringing the passes together, but I guess if we did that, how do you accomodate Albert & PJD when both available?. And I just think you need 1 player like Jones in the side to give it a bit of passion. We seemed to wake up against Staines once Danny kick started it, but Jones does this all the time.
