Starting line-up for Basingstoke Town FC v Andover U9s 16/10/21.
Unavailable:
Aidan (Covid), Harry (Prior Arrangement), Joe (Prior Arrangement).
Due to a lack of players, our starting lineup is the 7 available players for Saturday. As Charlie is stronger with the ball at his feet, we should play him on the left of defence so he can carry the ball forward and be an offensive threat and combine with the 3 midfielders.
