14 dwyer
15 harrison
16 waterhouse
17 carvell

thats the team i'd go with, dependent on whether m monas if it or not then it would be higham

Big reward for Higham that, you either start, or drop beyond the bench? Although I haven't got a problem with Dwyer he looks to have the makings of (is) a decent player, you can't argue with Higham's contribution during this difficult opening spell?

I can see the argument about impact play and giving someone experience in selected matches etc but think it would knock the wind out of my sails if it happened to me

Higham out I think - Monnas, Myler, Carvell definitely out........................

According to TS Monnas still 2/3 weeks away

sorry forgot that carvell was banned

and will struggle without higham if he is out

Why even bother with this post squad announced tomorrow?

Big loss if Higham is out

I wasn't expecting to read this before the season started!

Cant see Higham playing with a broken hand.

2 broken hands apparently!! Something to do with they are broken but not out of line (something to that effect), so he can still play. Fair play if he does.................

TWO broken hands? That's just bloody careless.

How do you get two broken hands, get run over by a car?

How do you get two broken hands?

Clapping too vigorously.

Probably from carrying the rest of the front row.

Harrison
Wood
Dwyer
Hill/McCarthy.

Matty Blythe and either Hill or McCarthy to miss out. Potentially a very strong side.

Out of interest what has Paul Wood done to warrant a place in the team over Chris Hill?

Just my opinion of what the coach will pick on Sunday. The only way Paul Wood will get back into form is by playing. I agree that Chris Hill has done well and deserves a spot.

I'd go with...

Hodgson
Riley
Atkins
Bridge
J Monnas
Briers
Gaz O'B
Morley
Higham
Hill
Westwood
Waterhouse
Grix

Wood
Dwyer
Cooper
Blythe

Tyke and Harrison (to give him another U20's runout to get fully match fit) to miss out

I think Tyke deserves another game in the 17 for Sunday...

Harsh on McCarthy & Blythe but I agree

Cas at home, without Chase, is surely a chance to use the old squad rotation system and give a few seniors a week off, while giving some more experience to a few young ones???

I think TS should rest river Trent or Biggin Hill in preparation for next week, which will surely be a forwards battle. I agree Paul Mcarthey should play - he has earned a bit of faith after last weeks effort.

Didn't they have a week off last week.
