A bit like the Villa game at Wembley, it's down to things we don't know. That day Lamps got hammered for starting Jack and Waggy on the bench. He still gets hammered for it. Neither was deemed fit enough to start. The medical staff get the nod over the Manager on that score. Similarly, Warne has been lambasted for not starting Knight and Didzy, both of whom were coming back from a knock. Knight put himself about when he came on. Didzy tried but his ball control was having an off day and he seemed off the pace. Looks like PW was right to start Didzy, and possibly both, on the bench.

At best, we'll have the same squad available. 45 minutes in the U21s last night won't see Chester ready to start. He'll have a rest day today so he'd get a max of 2 days with the squad training at full tilt. Friday will be designed around match preparation for Saturday so won't be a full on session. Who's carrying a knock? Who's going to pick one up in training? Who knows?

Going on a fit squad, I'd go...

Widsmith

The back 4 from most of the games in that successful run, Smith, Foz, Cash, Sibs for no other reason than it worked

Bird, White because I think Hourihane could do with a rest

NML, Knight, Barks - shame for Dobbin but I think the 2 wiser heads should do the opening 60 and then bring on Dobbs and Springett to have a right go in the last 30.

Didzy up top if he's up to a full 90, if not we could go Dobbin as a false 9. Play the ball at speed on the floor.
