Crikey it's hard work thinking that through with all our injuries.

[Wizard]

Great. 5 players pick themselves at the moment, other than that who knows?

McCarthy

Khizinishvili

Leigertwood

Hunt

[Elmer Park]

Very hard to say because of the lack of/mis information about the injuries after all Pearce was only supposed to miss one match and Cummings only had cramp when they first got injured.
Reading between the lines I will say a few players will be back and fairly fit and a few will be half fit and will be on the bench.

I reckon Karacan has taken back his place from Tabb now even if Tabb has recovered. If it had been a league match I actually think HRK might have had a chance of keeping his place but in view of the occasion I assume Jobi will get back in, fitness allowing.

6, Gunnar as well. Solid, and quality.

If Griffin is fit would you dare choose Gunnarson over Ingimarsson as a Mills replacement or is that silly? Ingi scares me lately. Gunnarsson seems versatile enough to play out of position at CB I think. I seem to remember him filling in there for a few games when Ingi and Sonko were both injured way back when.

He's played there this season, Leicester away was it? and did t the back end of last season as well. Ingi hasn't been great but I'd still rather have him then Gunnar at CB.

Interesting reserves team yesterday - Jake Taylor up front with Manset ahead of Brett Williams, Scott Davies at RB.

I wonder if we may see Davies on bench if Cummings, Griff etc injured?

That was a decent Fulham team that they beat......

[ZacNaloen]

Brett-Williams was injured in training, that's why he didn't play

[brendywendy]

doesnt matter what team we play-it could be:

davies, cummings, williams
taylor, howard
bignall, sal bibo, gunnarson, church, mcdermot

and wed still win.

its written in the stars

You fool Brenders....

There's only 10 there

[brendywendy]

soz-forgot big john madejski in goal!

[Ian Royal]

I'd just like to point out we've won every single game Gunnarsson has started at full back with a GD of +7

We did draw against Forest when he came on there in the 9th minute though.

[Royal Lady]

Well I hope McD has wrapped both him and Leigertwood in cotton wool then - we can't lose!

McCarthy is also unbeaten.

[Royal Lady]

McD is going to need a lot of cotton wool....

You can buy the stuff by the metre on metre wide rolls. Shouldn't cost more than about £200

[Sarah Star]

Just tell them all to play like Dynamo Kiev

[Kitson12]

Balotelli rated doubtful for Sunday.
That's the first boost.

Edit: sniffed the grass, didn't like it

[Libertine]

First, congrats to Mills on being voted Man of the Round for the previous round on the FA's site.

Second, I don't have a good feeling about this game. Mancini rested Tevez against Kiev. Balotelli, Dzeko and the whole team all played like shite yesterday. A case could almost be made that it seemed they were looking ahead to Sunday.

Or, hopefully, they are just in a funk...
