Would you start with Corbeanu or Patino on Saturday?

You don't want to put Patino in yet because he has to earn his place in the team. First training session today and all the players will be watching him. Let him come on as sub and see how he fares. With 5 subs you can almost refresh the whole midfield to keep it going for the full 90.

Same team as Herts above but with Virtue for Carey. Corbineau is well down the pecking order for me atm and might have to wait if Bowler leaves before getting regular starts.
 
I'd probably go with this too. I don't think you can throw Charlie in straight away and I don't think Appleton will.
If Gabriel is fit, which Phil seems to think he is I would start him on the bench too and maybe give him 25 minutes at the end and then start him against Barrow and give him an hour. Connolly is more than capable of covering and we don't want Gabriel to break down. Once he is match fir though I would put Connolly in Dougall's place but Dougall has a couple of games to stake his place.
 
Fiorini, Williams and Corbeanu should start.

Patino should come off the bench.
 
I don't want Fio + Virtue/Carey even with Douggy behind. With 5 subs there will be a temptation to give Pat O' a start which I'd resist.
 
Why? as I stated above.
Connolly won't be holding as he'll be playing RB, Patino may start but he'll probably be on the subs bench for the first game.
 
As per @hertfordseasider's team, I'd probably just stick Dougall in for Virtue to shore us up a bit defensively. If Gabriel's back then Connolly comes into the midfield equation as well. Going with an extra DM for Carey wouldn't kill us either, though this can always wait 'til we're 3 or 4 goals up.
 
Either way it will be tough to make our subs bench at this rate. Garbutt went from the only left back to not even on the bench against Reading.
MA certainly has options.
 
Anyone else chuckling after years of players with Pedestrian English names that we now are choosing between Fiorini, Corbeanu and Patino .. I remember when I thought getting Indrek Zelinski would have been cosmopolitan!

Nothing pedestrian about:
Richard Keoghlini, Jimmy Husbandihno, Kenny Dougalini
