How many Ex Diamonds will be playing for Welly on Saturday, not sure if Dev Elwood is still there, Wizza wasn't listed as a signed played 2 weeks ago but a Jon Wiz was listed as a sub on Saturday, Alfie has re,re,re-signed, Gilly is there, as well as the very Welsh Ainsley McDonald. Would it also be correct to presume the Kieron Starmer is Marks Son?.

Im going to predict the Peaksys line up for this one. This will definitely not be an easy game, but still an opportunity to give some lads some game time/others a chance to rest knocks..

(The great debate)

Westwood Punter Dolman Brown

Smith Bell-Toxtle Curtis Ford

Lorraine Shariff

GK
Boateng
Gyasi
Farrell
Dillon

With the idea to rest Nabs/Bully asap.

Jacko/Bunts- There for bants.

It won't be easy with a goalie on the bench and not between the sticks, I'd be shooting from everywhere.

I really don't think that we should take this game lightly at all, if all the lads are fit I'd start the team that started on Tuesday,if there are any niggles then you could rest a player but it's a risk not worth taking Imo.

The cup is massively important to us this season both financially and if we can progress far increased interest in the town would be more than welcome

BBC are televising every round. So we may yet feature. This Saturday it is two northern teams , just who eludes me at present. But we could be an attractive fixture for them to show in the coming weeks..........if we progress.

Apart from not playing any player not 100% fit we should play our strongest possible XI otherwise we may have 'egg on our face'.

I'd be going with the following team;-

.................................Heath

Westwood..........Dolman.........Punter...........Brown

Henbury..........Farrell.............Curtis...........Bell-T

....................Shariff............Lorraine


Subs;- Finlay, Boateng, Fairlamb, Dillon, Gyasi
