Hmm, difficult. I don't think McDonald deserves a place but think on his day he's more than capable. We will miss Davis' aggression (not the stamping).

It’s simple really, whoever scores first will be going to Wembley.

If every player has learned from the Lincoln game along with county away and Saturdays that you have to compete and each player actually does that then we’ll be fine. I won’t have it that County are a better side than city. If we can compete and stop the stupid individual mistakes we’ll be good....
... however we have young players who’s mental strength isn’t there yet possibly?
We also need some defenders to pull there finger out and start contributing to set pieces. The stats are pathetic this season and needs addressing next season.

Hyam doesn’t deserve to be dropped he’ll make a minimum of changes. Think jch and Willis for max and Davies

He'll be fine either side, he seems completely comfortable with either his left or right peg

Agree - can't risk conceding first - play on counter for first 60 minutes and keep it tight at back and see where we are...
or...
Come out of the blocks and hit them straight away and be 3-0 up by half time
* i prefer the second option

I think we've got to go for it from the off... try and get the early goal.... if we can do that it'll open them up and McNulty will have a field day. We make too many defensive mistakes to sit back.

Sky Bet have Notts County as slight favourites tomorrow night. Probably fair going by all 4 home teams have got to Wembley so far.
The either team in extra time or either team on penalties both look a good price at 5/1 what do you think @Christopher Michael

I’m already bloody nervous about tomorrow night. Look at the two records, I can’t help but think that first goal wins tomorrow night.
And we’ve got a dreadful record in Nottingham, I’ve never seen us get even a point against Forest or County and I’ve done both grounds combined 6 times....

4-3-3
Burge
Grimmer - Hyam - Willis - Stokes
Bayliss - Doyle - Kelly
Biamou - McNulty - JCH
Apart from Reid who is out of favour, we have no wingers. With Shipley being poor too, I would play this and get the best out of the players we have in the positions they are supposed to play in.

I feel like eveyrthing that can be said has been said already, and now we just have to ride out this rollercoaster and try and enjoy tomorrow as much as possible....anyone up for discussing the England squad as a distraction from tomorrow? :-/

A few bookies have County down as favourites. Thats fine with me. Id rather we go in to this as underdogs.
Kelly is key to us. As much as he annoys me week in week out. When he does put a shift in and is willing to pass forward and shoot we always look better.

Im fairly sure my work are going to refuse my invoice this week. Unless they move into the oxygen recycling sector overnight, then I will be scot free!

I would seriously consider the option of dropping Grimmer, putting McDonald in the centre and Willis to RB just to shore up the defence.

I would very much agree with you. The only reason I haven't done that is because I was under the impression it wasn't something most people were favouring. I actually think he has been very suspect for a long time. The only reason he was getting away with it was because Haynes was in the team and taking the boo-boy spotlight away.

One spare ticket required if anyone can help
I just think McDondalds bad days are most costly than Grimmers bad days.
If Grimmer has a bad game he has Willis sweeping up and a second line of defence usually, most ROD slip us result is us conceding as hes usually the last line of defence.
If were wanting to give ourselves the best chance of keeping it tight it has to be Willis & Hyam in the middle for me.

I don't mind Grimmer but in what could be a tight game I think we need to be as sound defensively as possible.

I think that everything that can be said has been. We are struggling to think up new topics to analyse then cross analyse. Having said that I wonder how long the grass is at Meadow Lane? Will is favour us or them?

Ooo new topic... I'm going with 34mm and favour us....
In all seriousness though I think the pitch will favour us more tomorrow night than our own pitch did on sat!

Good article about the championship play offs and home advantage
Football League play-offs: How do you win them?
32 of 51 playing at home in the second leg going through so 4 out of 4 is quite outside of the norm.
So if Lincoln lose you’ve got to fancy that the statistics gods would be supporting us

All I know is I’m bloody nervous can’t stop shaking and no I haven’t had a drink. Just pray we’ll have that one bit of luck to see us through. We sure as heck deserve it after the last 10 + years.
