What 18 man squad would you pick for Sunday? As I see it with the first teamers who are currently injured back in contention, we have a 21 man squad to whittle down to 18: Davies, Townsend G Williams, Smith, Nyatanga, Connolly, Roberts, Bree, White, Mawson Hourihane, Isgrove, Hammill, Tuton, Chapman, Scowen, Brownhill Winnall, Fletcher, Watkins, Toney I'll start with my 18: Davies, Townsend G Williams, Roberts, Bree, White, Mawson, Nyatanga Hourihane, Isgrove, Hammill, Chapman, Brownhill, Scowen Winnall, Fletcher, Watkins, Toney I would leave out Tuton at the expense of Chapman as the latter looks the more dangerous of the two. In defence I've left out Smith and Connolly. I think we need cover in central defence for Mawson and Roberts so I've included Nyatanga. But I think with White on the left and Williams/Bree on the right we have enough cover to leave out the two less featured youngsters.
I believe they changed the rules from last year on request from the finalists to allow seven subs for the final.
Davies Williams Mawson Roberts White Hammill Brownhill Hourihane Isgrove Winnall Watkins Subs Townsend Bree Nyatanga Scowen Chapman Fletcher Toney
it was only changed for that final though since both clubs requested it if both clubs don't request it this time its going to be back to 5 subs. Seems strange not to imo as surely it benefits both teams allowing them to give more players an opportunity at wembley.
Already posted the article concerning this earlier in the thread mate: "The Board acceded to the request and have committed to make this a permanent change to the competition’s rules for the final.” Read more at http://www.football-league.co.uk/ne...trophy-final-2325965.aspx#QL2UdodpDbIOWACv.99
Id be resting a few of the first team who've played both games over the easter weekend and those with little knocks ready for the important games. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Davies, Townsend G Williams, Bree, Smith, Mawson, Roberts, White Isgrove, Chapman, Hammill, Tuton, Brownhill, Scowen, Hourihane, Winnall, Watkins, Fletcher. Connolly ain't ready for the mens game and Nyatanga is garbage. I just prefer Tuton to Toney. 11: Davies G Williams Mawson Roberts White Isgrove Brownhill Hourihane Hammill Watkins Winnall
Davies; Williams, Mawson, Roberts, White; Isgrove, Scowen, Hourihane, Hammill; Winnall, Watkins. Assuming they're all fit. I like Brownhill a lot, but I prefer Scowen and he's contributed more to this particular cup run. The only difficult decision to make for me, really. Harsh on either though, as it is on Bree who's been unlucky with the timing of his injury.
Two maybe unfit players up front and our form forward guy Fletcher left on the bench i'd not be happy with.
