    My Team For Wembley

    Steele

    Van Homeot, Foster, Souza, Kozluk

    Devaney, Howard, Hassell, JCR

    Coulson, Odejayi

    Subs: Stan, Togwell, Leon, Butterfield, Letheren




    Summary:
    We've got to go there and attack and I feel this is out best attacking side.

    Steele (Keeper) is obvious choice.

    Kozluk & Van Homeot (Fullbacks) are both quick, break up and create play.

    Souza & Foster are best available pairing, and are both good in the air.

    Hassell & Howard (central midfield) are not my first choice paring. Howard is key, dictates our play and cannot be left out. isn't my favourite player in the position but will no doubt break up their play (first choice would be Johnson but he won't get a look in and Togwell hasn't played for some time).

    Howard (captain and midfield dynamo)

    JCR & Devaney both love to attack and track back to help defence. JCR missed Chelsea game and will be well up for this tie. Devaney has his knockers but for me cannot be left out, you cannot ignore his quality e.g. he supplied crosses for Foster Goal (vs Liverpool) and Odejayi's goal (vs Chelsea). Devaney need to play on the right to ensure we get the best out of him, with JCR on the left.

    Couslon & Odejayi are my suprise paring in the attack. KO has looked a differnt player since Liverpool game and on current form deserves start. We haven't seen much of Coulson this season, but he's always impressed in short spells coming on as sub. He and KO came on at Burnley and had a major influence both created chances and had chance to scaore themselves. Stan will work all day but hasn't got the killer finish at present, its a gamble but I'd go with youth and ethusiasum of Coulson and the poer and pace of Odejayi.

    Substitutes are again suprise. I had selected a back up keeper. Togwell, Leon & Stan deserve there place on the bench and may play some part. Butterfield is young propect and as with Coulson may be suprise package.

    I've left Nards out altogether as after Burnley game as he proved that he is lacking sharpness, fitness, enthusiasum and bottle! plus the fact he's not our player and has had little influence in the cup where as young Coulson scored goal in earlier round to beat Blackpool.
    Others to miss out Mattis (not fit), Johnson, Ricketts & Christensen (not in favour)
