Even with Tats and Palmer missing we’ll have a stronger time out this time

Agree - last time we were up against a consistent Luton; this time it's against....

I’d take McNally and Doyle over our current defence and Norton-Cuffy actually was our best defender on the day.
Add in Hamer and Gyökeres and I’m not sure of the point that we’re stronger overall.

First 3 all loanees, and MVE better than Norton Cuffy. Whichever combination, United have rapid forwards; the hope is their defence has a stinker and Fernandes has a hissy fitting off day.

Accept all of that but we’re likely to play Lati at right back and MVE in front of him. I think we’ve made progress given we lost our two undoubted stars and reliance on loans but I’m not sure that we look stronger than last season when we were, by and large reliable defensively. This season we concede every game which is a concern against a team with “rapid forwards”

This team beats our current one I’m afraid

Hope not - think Lati will get done for pace. Hope I'm wrong and whatever team he picks we give it a right good go.
We'll have to play Latibeaudiere at RB, unless you want to play Tavares.

Thomas & Kitching both better than McNally in my opinion. They are still a little naive, but are pure defenders. McNally could get bullied and his distribution wasn't great. Doyle was a fine player, but Man City aren't ready to sell, so he was never going to be a long term target.
MVE miles ahead of Norton Cuffy. Granted, we don't have Hamer or Vik now, but I'm quite happy with Simms, Wright & Torp as replacements, and not forgetting Sakamoto who would of been playing. We also have O'Hare for this game.

We tried to sign McNally and failed. We all wanted to sign him iirc. At our club for half a season he had one poor game (Stoke) and one sub-par game (Wembley). Kind of agree w you about his distribution but I wd hope that was something that he would have improved with coaching. I like both Thomas and Kitchin but they’ve both made terrible errors and had some v poor games.
MVE is definitely an upgrade on Norton-Cuffy but he’s not playing in remotely the same position, compare him to Latibeaudeire (or maybe Eccles if there’s a shock selection) at RB. and as I said earlier BNC was our best defender at Wembley last year.
I was so impressed with Torp when he signed but as everyone knows he’s regressed a little after the injury he suffered. I was kind of hoping he might be tried as an option for. No 10 at Wembley but that doesn’t seem to be a serious option. Moreover, after Saturday’s performance when he and Sheaf just got in each other’s way for 45 minutes and no one was there to collect the ball in the middle third of field, I’ve come to the conclusion he’s been bought to replace Sheaf next season.
I think we’ve done well to recruit decent players after losing Hamer and Gyökeres. Tbh I’ll stop now as I think I tend to agree with a lot of what the ppl disagreeing with me are saying but I’m just not convinced that our options for Sunday make us a stronger outfit than the one in the play off final.

We are literally in a worse position than last year. Dunno if you’re a bit behind in America or…

And you’re the loser that’s been bullied on here for 12 years. Fat Nick can’t figure out IP’s hence why it takes me 30 seconds to make an account and post.

Love Simms, but that front line too heavy and I'd have to take him out and have Cal in behind Haji and Vik. Not sure about mcnally in a 4 either, so probably take Eccles out and add Thomas to play the Fadz role.

Yeah me too. I wouldn't be surprised if Tavares plays. And Tbf, based on last week, he deserves to start ahead of half the team.
