At 1:29 of the interview posted on Twitter with Jasper, you can see Taff warming up in the background with the rest of the squad. Would suggest he is indeed close to being fit again.
A word of caution about the visit of York, leaders of the National League, tomorrow. Tamworth, a part time team in 16th place in the National League, have just beaten Huddersfield, 7th in our division and only 4 points behind Wycombe. This will be a difficult tie.
Blooms will respect an inform York and won’t do a wholesale change of line up, resting half the usual starters at most. A cup run and continued momentum important to the vibe around the place.
I think Scowen will start as he missed the last league game probably with Butcher who needs game time. I guess it depends on the terms of the loans, but I would expect Taylor and Humphreys to be available but not Morley. A good opportunity to rest Low.
Hope Kodua's injury isn't too serious. He seemed to know straight away that his game was over when he went down. Looked innocuous. He looked useful so hopefully he's ok.

I remember being surprised at the side we put out vs Villa. What a performance that was from our "2nd string".
This is an excellent point and the number one reason why no single player can be complacent about his place in the starting lineup.

As it’s the FAC we can name 9 ‘finishers’ on the bench tomorrow, so it will be interesting to see the match day squad.
Must be able to name pretty much everyone who's fit then!

Assuming that Morley and Cam are cup tied and that all the above are fit.
Hopefully places for Hanlan and McCarthy (who's time I fear may be up after this season).
That's a side that I think could still compete in League One!
With the Academy up and running next season, perhaps the likes of McCarthy may have a chance of getting on the coaching staff?
I agree that it may be an opportunity for others, but at 28 years old, I don't think McCarthy will be looking to retire just yet.

I cannot believe he’s only 28!
Morley and Humphreys are available as I understand it. They certainly are not cup tied having not played for any club in earlier rounds.

Nothing to stop him being a player coach.
A little bit of rotation makes great sense with the upcoming games. But probably not wholesale changes.
Agree McCarthy probably needs to move on, possibly even in Jan as he's not even starting when Grimmer is out, Pattenden has leapt above him.
Would be very surprising to move to a coaching role when he's presumably perfectly fit still just not getting into the lineup.
The other thing is the academy won't just be jobs for the boys, we sound serious about recruiting quality experience.
