Worried about defence with Clarke not able to play and Harries not being about.

Considering our U23s are ahead of their U23s in the Development League and our U18s have beaten them home and away this season, maybe we should play some of them.

Unless they chuck some first teamers in.

Win!! Slade to pick his strongest side too. We need to sort the defence out though with Clarke and Harries both missing and maybe Willis on his way out of the club.

As it stands it will have to be Stokes to come in to play centre half.

Foley cup tied, so as it stands....

DKE Turnbull Stokes Haynes

Thomas Rose Reilly Reid

Turnbull is suspended for this one, 2 yellows in the comp so far = 1 game ban.

Stokes had better be fit, otherwise we have zero centre backs.

Slade needs to wheel and deal like he has never whelt and dealt before.

I'm sure Samuel Ricketts would come out of retirement for one game, if Slade asked him nicely

Doubt they will play any first teamers - what's more important; promotion to the Prem, orthe Checkatrade trophy?

Depends how far they get, I bet a Semi Final 1-0 down they and others will be throwing on some names.

I doubt it very much - they are currently top and will likely be there abouts come semi final and Final time. Why jeopardise that - particularly as they have come close to going up over the last few seasons?

Would probably have to be Willis (assuming he is fit/still here) alongside a half fit Stokes at CB, unless Slade drops someone rogue back there - seem to remember Gunnarsson doing a reasonable job at QPR away under Coleman when we had a CB crisis.

Andy Rose?

He has the height.

Either him or DKE.

Gotta go for this and give it as much as we can.

Yes, we do need to focus on avoiding relegation, but I doubt our league position will offer us any cheer at the end of the season, this might.

If we try and we lose, we lose. If we win, it's a bit of a confidence boost and maybe gives us a pop at giving the fans a day out.

Hmm tricky one if Foley and Clarke both cup tied is Harries unavailable to play? I know training with Liverpool but getting him game time would be good for both parties I would have thought? Assuming he is not available think we would go with following.

RCC GK
DKE RB
Willis CB
Rose CB
Haynes LB
Bigi CM
Reilly CM
G.Thomas RM
Reid LM
Tudguy ST
Beavon ST

Subs: Burge, Stokes, Finch, Maycock, Lameiras, Biyad, Ponticelli

We do look short for game but more bodies could come in of course and also Stevenson not gone yet...

DKE Willis Harries Haynes (stokes if ready)
Thomas Rose Bigi Reid
Beavon Tudgay

That still leaves Stevenson, Jones, Lamerais and Reilly if needed. I don't see why people are worrying?

I tend to agree, the team they pick for todays cup tie against MK Dons might give us a few indicators towards their intentions.
If they rest players today I can't see them throwing anyone in on Tuesday.

Is Leahy back from loan? Could stick him in or at LB and put Haynes in the middle (gulp).

Go 343?

People are assuming Willis and Harries won't be available. Harries I think certainly isn't as he's still pimping himself to Liverpool.

Think people are just going worst case scenario.
