What would your starting X1 be? Buggered if I know. Maxwell and Yates are probably the only 2 I could be sure about.

I tend to agree on both, but wouldn’t say either is 100% certain. Stewart could replace Dougall and with Sullay the question is whether you get more from lesser players who are more consistent. And also what system do you play to get the best out of him and the side as a whole.Kai Kai as well
we don't play LincolnThe first game is in nine days by that time the majority of our large squad will
be fit which gives us a distinct advantage over Lincoln who have a squad of only 24 players
I think we haven't been able to see much of it this season with his injury, but when Keshi and Yates are on the pitch they link up well having played before. If only Keshi was fit when Yates found his form!Maxwell

Those front three would be scary
Nah, you cocked up. You were talking about nine days time and the final is more than that away. Good attempt though.We will play Lincoln in the Final after they have beaten Sunderland
I think people are picking Stewart because the question was ‘if everyone was fully fit’.Really surprised at people including Stewart considering he's not been back long and hasn't really impressed in the last couple of games.

Tough one to choose between Mitchell and Simms. Simms is in form but if we play one striker it has to be Yates. But either way, that is a damn good side right there, more than capable against any of the play off clubs.

There’s loads of options and an obvious 11 doesn’t stand out to me. Happen to agree with you re Dougall, he’s been the rock that our improved form has been built on.Fair enough, I still think he's got a lot to prove to replace Dougall or Ward from the team. But that's just my opinion.
Actually, following @southshore post, I forgot about CJ! He'd be in ahead of Mitchell if fit. Probably. There's just too many options when all fully fit.
If everyone was fit, what about CJ?
... and Ballard. Then I really like Gabriel and Garbutt, Dougall and Simms, Kaikai is always a threat - there's 8 and I've only scratched the surface!What would your starting X1 be? Buggered if I know. Maxwell and Yates are probably the only 2 I could be sure about.

It's the risk of getting it wrong that worries me most. When you get to the big games, I'd prefer to know exactly what the best starting X1 is and how they'll line up. Put out your best side and make the opposition worry about you.Options are nice to have, but can increase the risk of getting it wrong. I do have faith in NC though and have said several times that he is well on the way to becoming an outstanding coach. The play offs will be as big a test for him I think, as it will the players. Personally I think we have a great aquad at this level, but I do have a nagging feeling that Sunderland will be a big threat and are due to come good after their recent run.
It is an interesting one as to whether we save Simms for the home game and do something different at Oxford. Who'd be a manager!Maxwell
