WHO IS AVAILABLE FOR CUP

I heard a rumour that a few on the injury list might be available and it would be a good game to either play them or have them a sub.

At least with the injuries and suspension we should have a fresh squad.

Alan Smith up top sounds good!!

Could really do with Charlie MacDonald

We could do with a Charlie MacDonald, Isale McLeod and Jabo Ibehre forward line. Bags of goals.

The problem with Smith is you get 20 minutes then he goes deeper and deeper and just fades out of the game. Will probably have to move Bowditch into the middle or get permission to play Bamford which hopefully we can as that is the best option. They also need to do some fitness work as only Williams looked fit on Saturday with his runs forward. No one else was prepared to run and just walked about like lost souls.

Powell should be back
Bowditch claims to have been a centre forward
Smith can lead the line
Satruday was a re run of many of our games since Gleeson and Chadders have been out - no real incisive movement or passing to the front players - just lots of pushing the ball around the midfield and back 4 - and on Satruday we could not even do that last bit properly
Hope Bamford is back and fit soon

Bamford hopefully should be fit and would be available. If Powell is fit that would help as well.COYD

Can anyone believe that Ryan lowe / The Club have tried to get the Red card overturned - he has just earned himself another match ban - What are they thinking? - it was an obvious Red! we can't afford to be losing players for more games than necessary.

I think it was Kay's Red they were appealing (and failed) not Lowe's

well spotted - I'll let them off then!!
