Hoping that Bavo is ok to play. Lee Nicholls is talented but in my eyes, the team misses Ian. He has his faults but he gives his all for the side and the players respond to him. We're going to need that kind of character to take us through the tough times ahead. For this reason I agree with Cashy about playing Ian Craney. Unsure about the speculation based on a rather vague tweet by Tom Bender, but we can hope.

So, here goes:

GK: Dunbavin
RWB: Barnett
CB: Murphy
CB: Willis
LWB: McIntyre
DM: Joyce
CM: Craney
CM: Hatfield
RW: Devitt
LW: Grant
ST: Lindfield

Joyce to sit just in front of yet another fresh pairing at centre-half; hopefully breaking up the play before it gets to the last line. In theory, this gives us an Italian back three which enables us to play wing backs in Barnett and McIntyre. Going forward, we have more than enough attacking players to move the ball well and cause problems in the final third. Lindfield has really impressed me in recent performances.

Cooky really does have an unenviable job picking the team for tomorrow.
