YOUR First XI: 2021-22

By Ian Townsend

We ask supporters to design their own squad, made up of the best eleven players they've seen this season


Given that the season is about to draw to a close, and given it's been such a novelty to actually finish one, we thought we'd ask supporters of Pitching In Isthmian League sides to take on the role of managers and bring us the best eleven players they've seen in their division this season.

We'll feature each entry here, and we'll also create a 'Supporters Team of the Year' for each division based on your entries.

What we need is that you tell us:

  • Your name
  • The team you support

And then that you pick your side from the division you've been watching, using a recognised formation and including a goalkeeper- and no matter how much you love attacking play we don't want a 0-0-10 formation unless you are actually Marcelo Bielsa and can prove it!

Give us a few words about each player telling us why you've chosen them, and send them through to Ian at townsendaround@gmail.com

Only one other rule- we will allow no more than three players from the side you support. Favouritism is all well and good, but it doesn't make for interesting reading!

We look forward to hearing from you.
