Where are we with injuries? Do we know yet?

Do we know the status of Winnall and Watkins for next Sunday?

James Bree presumably recovered?

Will we have Isgrove back? For me he's the first name on the team sheet.

Ideal starting 11 (in my opinion) would be:

Davies
Bree Mawson Roberts White
Isgrove Conor Brownhill/Scowen* Adam
Sam Marley

Subs: Townsend, Williams, Smith, Nyatanga, Chapman, Fletcher, Scowen/Brownhill*

*difficult to choose

I fear the worst on the Watkins/Winnall front. Reckon we might get a not-quite-fit Winnall for 60 mins, but Marley's a bit of a mystery. Fletcher will start, I'd hazard. Williams has been excellent, so harsh to drop him to the bench. And I'd go Brownhill over Josh, but otherwise can't fault that.

 

Hecky didn't sound too optimistic about Sam and Marley on Radio DeeDah.

 

Me too. Hecky was very non-committal when asked about them on Radio Sheffield. And not in a way that sounded like he was bluffing the opposition. I'm not optimistic we'll see either of them, and whilst I'm desperate to see us field our strongest side and win handsomely at Wembley, objectively it would be absolute lunacy to risk bringing either of them back too early.

 

AIRTyke in 6-stone-wet-through midfielder "first name on team sheet" shocker.

 

Come on we've played in this comp now 5? Rounds this season.

5 subs.

It's going to be harsh on Bree or Williams. Likely they'll miss out on the 16 too.

 

I believe it's 7 subs for the final.

It was last year anyway.

 

I reckon George Williams will start, been on great form.

 

Then I need to learn the rules. Makes it easier for Heckingbottom that

 

He's been playing well.

Just think Bree gives so much with the ball. Also out of the two he's the less likely to panic.

 

What makes you think Williams is more likely to panic? Both players seem comfortable on the ball and George has put in a lot of assured & competent performances since he regained his place. Not noticed him panic in what have been some very tough and testing games.

 

You'd drop Williams for bree -

 

If you're going to be picky (and dont get me wrong I like James Bree) I can think of two occasions where he's made poor passes leading to goals - one being Fleetwood in the JPT, cost us the win in normal time (or extra time?), but fortunately it didn't matter as we won on pens.

 

The big question for me assuming fully fit squad is the Brownhill, Scowan one. We have looked better with Isgrove in in terms of balance. Williams should start with Bree on bench for me. Hoping Marley and Sam are fit and Fletcher coming off the bench, worked well before.

 

Scowan he's our player

 

George Williams has to play. He's been outstanding in a defence that has kept countless clean sheets.

 

If Watkins isn't fit I'd play Tuton. He's looked lively when coming on in the last couple of games and presses defenders like Marley.

 

If I thought I could get away with it I wouldn't play any of the loan players

was 7 subs last year because both teams requested it should only be 5 this year unless something changes from now until Sunday. would definitely be better if we could have 7
