I'll admit I wasn't sure he'd make the level but attitude and a bit of faith from management and support from teammates mean he really has looked the part recently, we can add Jasper and probably Declan to successes of the development model.
Him and Jack could do 45 minutes each midweek for fitness, although we should probably give JMac a run out if fit, if only to get him ready for an emergency or a loan.
(I'm being a little bit facetious - but it is just worth pointing out how far Jasper has progressed - as @StrongestTeam suggests, he should really be considered a 'development' success)
I think it’s fair to say that no one knows. The arrival of Fred Onyedinma will have complicated selection decisions in wide areas and the unbelievable transformation of Dan Harvie from fullback to the relatively unusual phenomenon at our level of a wingback in a back four also has to be taken into account.
I had been thinking that 1 point would be enough for us tomorrow, but looking at the table, I think we'd actually need to also win the shoot out to qualify after Brighton's win against Wimbledon. Crawley on the other hand have to win, with even 2 points not being enough.
Would create a very odd situation if the match does finish level. Crawley would effectively have nothing riding on the penalty shoot out, whilst we'd need the extra point.
I’m glad you understand how it works @Wycombe85 I was looking at the table this morning and couldn’t fathom how Crawley had two points from a draw and a defeat!
@floyd Not 100% sure I understand it. I'm hoping there's some clarification on the club website ahead of the match.
Crawley drew with Brighton, but got an extra point from winning the shoot out, hence they have 2 points.
I remember a couple of years ago we had a completely dead rubber shoot out against Peterborough, but it looks like Crawley would be eliminated with a draw whatever the shoot out result, whilst we'd need the extra point. Not sure who that favours, Crawley would be taking pens under no pressure.

If you’ll excuse me I’ll wait until 6pm on Tuesday.
Unless he is injured I think the only change to that will be Bakinson instead of Kone.
I will go:
George
Grimmer Skura Taff Hartridge
Butcher Bakinson
Leahy
Wheeler Hanlan Bez
Would probably still pick Pattenden at right back as he's getting a little run of games.
But agree with the rest assuming no-one like Sadlier is available.
We assume he's injured but not sure anyone has confirmed it.
The Jasper and Jack selection situation is really quite fascinating, and shows just how far Pattenden has come in the last 18 months.

Do you mean for this one game? As Grimmer is without doubt first choice.
He wasn't on Saturday though, was he...?

Is Sadler injured ?

Kieran Sadlier is injured. Did it in the behind closed door game v QPR I think
I don’t miss much, being virtually housebound and Wanderers obsessed, but that one slipped my notice.
Thanks @eric_plant.
Imagine a team of 11x Josh Scowen's 😍
I would prefer 10x Kones
Could we have a stretched one for in goal.
Would be an interesting debate of which player would you want 10 of if you could only have one player.
10 Lows would be the ultimate physical team and you'd never lose a header. But not sure on the speed around the place and creating chances.
McCleary or Fred would have the pace and mobility.
But it'd surely have to be Scowen for his all round game, commitment and he has a solid leap too.
It’s probably David Wheeler?
@Chris !! I nearly used your favourite expletive.
Back in the day I would have had 10 Keith Ryans.
how does Joe Low not get into the Wales senior squad is beyond me

...but if you had 11 Steve Browns, you'd know one of them could definitely play in goal!
How about 11 Bayos!
Gaffer: "Hit the target man"
Players: "Which one?!

We win we are through.
Draw and win shoot out, we go through.
Draw 3-3 and lose shoot out, we go through.
Draw less than 3-3 and lose shoot out, we are out.
Lose, we are out.
Jason McCarthy will start Tuesday
Blooms suggested in his Wigan post-match that the international postponement may well alter his plans for tomorrow’s game in terms of team selection.
They don't go off head to head if tied on points?
