http://www.walesonline.co.uk/footballna ... -25626289/Another 5 players injured for tomorrow night. Ouch.
We won't have a central midfield as Wildig is out, and we'll be awful out wide defensively as Matthews and McNaughton are injured. We're in trouble, basically.
Team for tomorrow night:
D Marshall,
P Quinn, A Gerrard, G Gyepes, T Capaldi,
C Burke, M Kennedy, P Whittingham, R McCormack,
J Bothroyd, M Chopra.
I'd do this, but Jones will of course put the ineffectual Ledley in the centre as a last hurrah (or not).

You think it's better playing with 9 men then? Cos Whittingham can't tackle, so when the Wurzels come at us it will be like having 9 men - Ledley's just abysmal, so we may as well
not have him on the pitch, he can put his feet up, give his hips a rest.

Ledley and Whitts played in the Centre last week against Bristol, they didnt do to bad. Yes I agree they are not the best but it is all we have at the moment.

I think one of Taiwo and Wildig will be fit. Jones usually puts players out there even if they're 'struggling'. No idea what the starting line up will be though. I don't think we'll win tomorrow night. That's me being pessimistic though. A 2-1 defeat maybe?

I hope Wildig will be fit as we need someone to play instead of Ledley!
I reckon it'll be another 1-1 draw tbh, and then it's a lottery. Exactly what we don't need, but City brought it upon themselves by conceding yet another late goal at Trashton.

Yeah. In all honesty, if our squad are struggling I would actually put another youngster in the middle. Let's face it, an FA Cup run would be nice but it would be a great opportunity to have a calculated gamble with a decent prospect. I'd rather give a youngster a try than stick 'no legs' Kennedy there. I do like Kennedy but he's struggling now.

Fair point, we don't need the cup. It's not as if there's a glamorous draw waiting for us in the next round either.
Bring on the youth!!
