I'd deffo go Taf, but we've no certainty he's fit. To be fit and have other options over him on the bench seems odd, unless the management have decided that because he's so injury prone, sub appearances don't make sense as you don't have the same warm up period.
Trying to remember if we did that with another player once, either starts or isn't even on the bench, for similar reasons.
Nothing would please me more this afternoon than to be able (justifiably) to vote Alex Hartridge Man of the Match, vying with Josh (naturally!) playing in the Morley position.

Forgot Taff, should come in IF fit. Otherwise surely he'll want out too.

When people drop off the bench we usually find out later they are out for weeks.
With Taf it has to be the likelihood.
With someone like Butcher it's probably more he's not out performing the others who have got onto the bench.
Our squad is unprecedented for competition. For as far back as we can remember if you're not starting and fir you're auto on the bench.
Now, if everyone is fit, 8-10 don't have room to fit on the bench.
Agreed but we have lost three players in Taylor, Morley and McCarthy. We also have at least three players injured namely Pattenden, Sadlier and Vokes.
The bench will be interesting today and could be - George, McCleary, Bakinson, Bez, Skura, Kodua and Wheeler.
EDITED as ludicrously I'd left Lubala and Wheeler out!!
Trying to see how it might look then
Rav
Grimmer Taf Low Harvie
Scowen Leahy Humphreys
Fred Kone Udoh
7 subs
George, Hartridge, Bakinson, McCleary, Kudoa, Lubala, Butcher
Not in the 18 but fit
Bishop, Hanlan, Skura, Wheeler
Injured
Pattenden, Sadlier, Vokes
Any confirmation that Bishop has gone back yet?

Yep, if he emerges as a quality player we''ll all be delighted.
edited the earlier post as had missed 2 players out. Whoops.
COME ON YOU OVER-ACHIEVING BLUES!!!
Surely Fred should have been dropped? What do I know though
Where's Bez?
Glad to see Joe Low. I was worried he’d miss out *with a knock.*
One kiosk open in the family stand for the coolest game of the season. Terrific.
I think Taff's Wycombe days are numbered
And Wheeler's.
Sometime in the next few years we'll be playing FC St. Pauli and that will be the coolest game of all.
May have pulled a muscle pulling a cracker?
Humphreys seems to be a Morley replacement. Scowen in the 10
Called it 👌
Who's on co-comms?
Missing through illness
But Scowen is not in the 10, he's roaming
You expect Kone to score those nowadays
Not sure about Humphrey as a replacement for Morley. Only time will tell but would prefer Scowen there and Humphrey further forward!
This really is a proper 4-3-3. I like it.
Leahy getting forward too, we're mixing it up like Ajax, total football....
