If you were to select five players before naming the full Notts XI, which players (including those injured) would make your first five names? Mine would be:

Matt Palmer  
Jodi Jones  
Alex Bass  
Matty Platt  
Jacob Bedeau  

Yours?

Matt Palmer is the captain and the best passer of the ball, thanks to his skill in retaining possession.

David McGoldrick when he's in form it's hard not to include him, and it's a credit to his work rate, especially at his age.

Alex Bass is the most valuable player in our team, we finally have a keeper who is solid and able to grow with us.

Jodi Jones always believe in...

George Abbott even if he's on loan, it's hard for me to name a team which wouldn't include him.

Alex Bass has to be on the list. He is one part of the reason for the vast improvement in our defence.

Matty Platt would be on my list of five. He has been Mr Consistent in the Notts defence this season.

George Abbott would be on the list too, even though he's a loanee. He is pure class with lots of talent. 

Jodi Jones has to be on the list because lots of things that are good come through him on either flanks & through the middle.

My last choice would be a choice between Didzy & Jatta. I believe they are very close & both deserve to be on my list, but I choose David McGoldrick because his work rate is phenomenal, he is pure class upfront & he is an inspiration to his fellow team members.

I could easily have chosen another 5 players. 

Jacob Bedeau, Matt Palmer, Alassana Jatta, Sam Austin & Lewis Macari, who have all had tremendous seasons.

alasanna jatta

my last place was torn between matty platt and david mcgoldrick, but i think jatta is very important to the attacking part.

For me it’s Bass, Platt (though Bedeau is not a wrong answer), Palmer, Jones and McGoldrick.

I'm almost the same as  @liampie, except I've gone for Platt over Bedeau. So it's: Bass, Palmer, Jones, Jatta & Platt for me. I agree, it’s so marginal and those that miss out are simply just unfortunate as we have a lot of quality players at the moment.

Bass

Beddau

Platt 

Palmer 

Jody/Jatta

First five? That is more challenging than it seems. I would start by naming the captain, Matt Palmer. Then I would choose Alex Bass. Jodi Jones, David McGoldrick, and lastly Conor Grant.
