He should have scored with virtually his first ever touch as a Notts player. I wonder how that would have changed things had he done so

Didzy can put a shoulder in but has he got the reserves to go a full on 90? MT is not an attacking L2 forward (and never will be IMO). Can I see us scoring at least two and not conceding? No.

Do I hope we can pull something out of the hat? Absolutely, it gives us something to talk about before the final instead of sinking into a close season blue funk at the opportunities allowed to slip by this season.

We only have to win by 1 and then it will be penalties.

Hopefully Didzy will be fit.

I'd get Jarvis in at the start.

Perhaps give Morias a go as well - he at least looks more imposing physically to hopefully unsettle Wimbledon.

Put Jonesy further forward.

Would love an Abbott and Robertson midfield for an hour, very doubtful though as SM won't drop Palmer and Robbo probably can only do 20 mins max at a guess.

My guess is SM will go with the following.

Bass

Macari Platt Bedeau

Jones Abbott Palmer Jarvis

Grant McGoldrick

Traore

I think he has to sacrifice Palmer Macari and Grant next week. Id have a flat four at the back
Gordon Platt McDonald and Bedau. Both Because and Gordon can cross a bal or a longer ball into the channel. Id have Robbo starting and holding the middle and Abbott in alongside with the freedom to push on with a 4 behind him.Didzy in the 10 and Whitaker up front.
Jarvis and Jones on the flanks
Whitaker can run the channels better than Jatta, we need to be turning them around a pressing high. Get out best footballers on the ball and take the game to them

But of course the inept glove puppet will just do what he knows.

If I hadn't bought my ticket I'm not sure I'd be going. He's slowly strangling my enjoyment of watching Notts.

But for all the nodding dogs,blinkered apathy loving clowns on here, I will be singing clapping and supporting my team as I do every week.

If you people cannot see how far backwards we've gone since Saunders went you are beyond hope

This would be my team.
Possibly Whitaker in for Grant as he?s posed more of a goal threat.

Yeah, that's about right, but make it more of a 3-4-3, which has looked alright in away games

With the levels of returning players, I'm not sure how Robbo gets Hinchy's seat on the bench. He won't be ready for a game like this.

Grant or Whitaker? Go with Grant but don't wait longer than 60mins to bring Whitaker on

Was he let go/sacked because he wasn't good enough or was there something else behind it - something at the Walsall game? (reference from PON).
Although it was by mutual agreement perhaps there was a contractual clause that he/they can't do anything till end of season. Tomorrow's fish and chip paper.....

Bass

Gordon Robertson Palmer Abbott Jones
Didzy
Traore

Robertson will get injured within 15 mins if he starts
