Don't want too shout too loud but the side looks good and our most valuable asset can't make the first XI
Who would you pick for the away game?
For me it had to be:
Grant
Wisdom Keogh Buxton Forsyth
Thorne
Bryson Hendrik
Dawkins Martin Russell

Ward & Martin were said to not be involved at all today but did travel. Unless Ward is carrying some sort of minor injury, think this may mean both will start the first leg at least.
Think this will be the team to be honest mate. Would have Bennett on the bench after today - he can be a powerful runner. Dawkins and Hughes will definitely feature over the course of the tie thoughOriginally Posted by RamFromCornwall
providing and touch wood we get no injuries in training we know that 10 are certain to start. ward will start in place of dawkins.
the only remaining question is whether we go with hendrick or hughes.
personally I'd go with hughes but I suspect we may go with hendrick.
Despite us finishing much higher with ump**** more points than Brighton, this will be a very tough team to get by.
We are going to have to be very good to beat them over 2 games. I would have preferred Reading tbh.
That said, we can do it if we are right on the button in both games.
Think i`d have Hughes instead of Russell...at least for the away leg
This would also be my team for tonight - who would be peoples subs and when would the be introduced and for who?Originally Posted by RamFromCornwall
Can we afford to send on more attacking players for the away leg or do we have to be ever so slightly more conservative even though McLaren would certainly not want us to be like that...
We'll come out and attack. That's what we've done both times vs. Brighton this season, and we've won both. McClaren will stick to the system he trusts, the one that has been so successful. Therefore, we'll line up.
Grant
Wisdom-Keogh-Buxton-Forsyth
Thorne
Henrick?/Bryson
Russell-Ward
Martin
SUBS:
Legzdins, Whitbread, Eustace, Hughes?, Dawkins, Bamford, Sammon.
My only question marks regard Hughes and Hedrick, both of which played well at Leeds. One will miss out, I'm guessing Hughes, but that will be our only selection headache.
