Donley needs to be at home watching on his firestick, not on the pitch.

Keeley

Clare Cooper Chinedu Sweeney

Warrington Brown

Pegrum Obeiro DJ

Perkins


Bench: Simpson, Marcandy

Stay at home and get a well earned breather: TJ, Currie, Beckles, Pratley, Galbraith, Donley, Kelman

Beckles, Currie, Donley, Gailbraith & Kelman should all be benched tonight
We need to give these 4 some rest, the league is more important.

I know if we win v Stevenage, we will have a crack at Birmingham at home in last 8, and a Wembley final and cup looks possible, but at what cost?

We need players fit & raring to go on Sat, it’s an huge game at home to Reading who are 7th, 3 points above us in L1 table, and we cannot risk more injuries to anymore 1st team players.

It’s a tough one tonight for RW, as we all know Stevenage are a big physical team.

2-1 O's

Lg 1 is just as important to Stevenage, but for different reasons. Could be 2 sides that are resting players. I think we've got enough to beat them - without the need for penalties I hope.

That’s a decent shout & I hope we rest those players. Markanday will have to stay at home as well, already played in Vertu for Chesterfield so I assume he is cup tied.

Markanday is cup tied. James will play needs minutes.

James has come back from injury and played 60 mins on Tues and 90 mins on Saturday, through necessity. He should be rested.

Shame about Markandy. It'd be good if Lingy can pull his finger out and get one of these other new boys in the building today.

Thank gawd we’re resting Prats, Donley, Kelman, Currie, Becks

Perkins upfront in Kelman role?

Sean Clare given the captain’s armband

That’s what I would have done but Richie is fielding a strong side

Even with a weakened side, I think we will smash Stevenage

Warrington has got a permanent reservation on Bocco Island

The strike force is p1ss poor.

Surely loan set up.

Half the team look totally disinterested. Stevenage are pressing very well.

Probably tired and playing in front of an empty stadium

The way the Os are playing it will be the reverse.

I would think so, otherwise he would be playing unless he’s injured
