I’d go with Sousa over a JMD, personally. Hurst suggested in his interview with Matt Dean yesterday that Raikhy isn’t fit enough to start. I think we’ll see him come off the bench, but only if we’re chasing the game.

Yeah Sousa over JMD for me too. We beat County at theirs by pressing them. JMD only comes into his own when we're on the front foot, as has been suggested we'll need Clifton and Sousa both to track back at times. Lincoln fan at work reckons Cowley used to write "TRACK BACK" on JMD's hand when he played for Lincoln. Really hope we see JMD at the level of fitness Hurst deems appropriate next season as I think we'll have a great player on our hands if he can last 90 minutes consistently.

Anyone else see similarities with Scott Neilson?

I wonder about Efete. By the time the game comes round it will be over three weeks since the injury, which is a fair amount of recovery time. If we do get through to the semi it will be a full month.
Who knows. Hurst always plays his cards next to his chest and there might be a possibility that Efete could be available.

David Longe-King back and training with the squad.
Wonder if he'll get a place on the bench. At least he'll be match fit and it's not like he's coming back from an injury lay-off.

Who would you drop to have long king in? Waterfall, Pearson, Smith? Can't see it myself

Unless something happens to Smith, Pearson or Waterfall I can't see Longe-King getting in the squad. The versatility of Clifton means that Hurst can prioritise attacking options amongst his 5 substitutes. If Waterfall gets the nod over Pearson to start, Pearson has to be on the bench if we aren't having a keeper on there.

It would be harsh on Pearson, but I can see him being on the bench with Waterfall starting. If Pearson is your backup keeper, you don't really want him picking up an injury in the first 5 minutes of a game.
I expect we'll see the following line-up, providing everyone is fit:
Crocombe Cropper Smith Waterfall Amos JMD Fox Holohan Clifton McAtee Taylor
Bench: Pearson, Raikhy, Sousa, Dieseruvwe, Abrahams
Sousa was really pretty poor against Boreham Wood, but his fitness record probably gets him in ahead of Wright, IMO. If called on, you can expect Sousa to complete 90 minutes, but it's always a gamble with Wright.
Tricky, really because from my selected line-up, neither JMD or Holohan has been in great form for a while but they can both score a goal. Just a pity that Raikhy has only just got back to fitness following his injury. Might be too much of a risk to start with him.
