A tough call for Critch if one of them misses out in the starting 11.
He may play both with Husband at LB and Garbutt further forward but either Embleton or Mitchell would then have to start on the bench.
 
Unless there's a very specific tactical reason to change it, I'd be surprised if there was any change in the back 4 from the Oxford games. Turts, Ballard, Hubby, Garbutt.

Biggest decision will be Anderson or Mitchell I reckon. I felt both played well in their respective legs vs Oxford. Really pleased that there's enough options in the squad that genuine conversations can be had over who starts, who makes the bench and even who misses out on the bench.
 
Not a chance Garbutt will be pushed further forward.

I don't think he's started a game further forward all season so god knows why that would happen on Sunday.
 
I'm with straighters. I'm struggling to pick between them cos they both look great right now, but I think I'm erring towards Anderson as my first choice. Though how great is it that the choice is between two players who really threaten the opposition and who both look really up for it right now.
 
Husband has been fantastic in the PO games bar the first 2 minutes at Oxford.

I don't see Oxfords forwards as a physical threat it's more their movement. So hopefully that works to Husbands benefit on a bigger pitch. He's faster than Thorns.
 
My choice would be Maxwell Turton Ballard Thorniley Garbutt Ward Dougal Embelton Kaikai Mitchell Yates. If all those were fully match fit. In a 4-3-2-1. With Simms Madine Husband Stewart Anderson Ekpiteta + GK as a really strong bench. But I don't know if Ballard Ward or Kaikai will be. Whoever he picks It'll seem harsh on a few others.
Edit I totally forgot Gabriel, I think I'll just leave it to Critch.

I'd start with Keshi and have him run them ragged, than bring on Demi to do the same and keep up the pace. Could see this one going the full 120 + so that energy will be vital 🏝️

Wasn’t that when we switched to 3 centre halves and played wing backs?

It was..
Three CH's and Garbutt further forward in a sort of wing back role!
We looked good in both games as well.
I don't think we'll go that way on Sunday but I'm not going to try and second guess NC.
It's good to have that flexibility though.

Mitchell itwill be I’m certain. Anderson after 70.
 
Mitchell HAS to start on right.
We dont have anyone who's decent since CJ on right.
They would need to double up on him!
Pace, skill, creative.

In his first game back Keshi was gliding about like Ludo.
He has goals in him as well.
Mitchell though was terrific last Friday and it would seem harsh if he didn't start.
Another nice problem to have.
