So who will be out of the starting 11 and subs who played in the cup match? Can we replace them or rejig with a winning team? For this exercise let's assume we have no new signings and continue writing about how rubbish all our non playing staff are in all the other threads! 2-1 home win.

Assuming no signings, only conundrum really is what Harris decides to do at the back. Pretty certain Bennett will keep his place but not sure if that's at the expense of Morrison or Okedina. I think probably the former?
Stevens
Bennett Okedina Bennett Andrew
Digby Cousins
Lankester Kachunga/Thomas/May (in that order) Brophy
Kaikai
would be my guess

Kachunga fit again? Bit soon isn't it, especially if you plan to start him.

Harris has been saying more or less since Kachunga was injured that they think he'd be back for Fleetwood.

Not sure he will start even if he is fit - might be a bit risky, we usually see returnees get 20-30 minutes from the bench.
I appreciate that we may NEED him back in the team though.

Depends on the injury, how long they've been out & how long they've been back in training, generally.

The exception to the rule being Richard Money, who used to give Tom Elliott 90 minutes after having been out months with wrecked hamstrings.

Think that's a great strategy. Let's sign up loads of our old strikers on non-contract terms, give them a game each, and offer the one performing the best, a longer term contract. We've got Elliot, Kwesi, errm someone suggested Barry Corr, heck even Michael Gash is still playing, surely at least one could do a job? What could possibly go wrong?...

Why bother when we've got ready-made strikers in Morrison and Ibsen Rossi just sitting on the bench?

I’m waiting for the training ground photo of the back of someone’s head from a distance. Then the speculation of is it a new signing or just Paul Digby/Ryan Bennet from a funny angle.

As long as their enthusiasm level is between the two, we'll be alright...
