I'll go along with the 17 that PG picks. Despite all the guesses on here, he's the only one who knows whats happening.

players giving out the team line ups? yeah, like that is going to happen!! most important game of our season, no one will be spilling anything to fans or the press

My line up for sat

Full English
Pint
pint
several more
Champs
dirty curry or summat

You're seriously expecting us to believe that Gentle is considering leaving Whiting out for Horne? Do you even realise how silly that makes you sound?

Forecast earlier in the week was guaranteed sunshine and 26c temperature will training have been based around these conditions?

Latest beeb forecast now is for heavy rain on the morning of the game and cloudy 20c from 1pm onwards.

If conditions are damp / wet could this be more of a risk for players returning from injury? Just a thought #mindgames

Perhaps in you mind its messing with you.

Neither club has announced anything of not other then Arundel being rules out.

Now you reckon John Ketley is part of the conspiracy??

Whys Houghton called Mint?

Oh and its good to have you back.

Two days to go. So far all I know is:

Arundel definitely out.
Crooks and Yeaman likely.
No idea about Lineham and Horne.
The rest are fine.

Never been away, just post occsionally, quite happy to sit back and watch the fish bowl.lol but I'm bl**dy excited now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because he used to say everything was "mint" not sure if he still does like.

Lineham wont play,crookes will.

What time is the official squad released today?

He is called Mint because when he where's his tape around his head he looks like a polo mint.

am getting nervous

squad announced at 3pm

Thought it was 2

Use caution it could end up; Full English, 6 to 8 pints, you fall asleep your mates leave you there for a so called joke, you miss the match but wake up for the last five minutes on the pubs tele, watch Hull lose wish you hadn’t bothered, have a few more ales, eat a dodgy ruby, fall out with your mates when they come for you and chuck your guts outside. Only joking, it’s anybody’s. Hope you have a great day have a few for me!

Lineham deffo out

I'd have Whiting at 2, Horne on the bench and leave Crookes out.

Squad is Briscoe,crookes,crooks,Ellis,green,heremaia,Horne,holdsworth , houghton ,lynch,miller,o'meley ,Pitts, Shaul,tickle,watts,westerman,whiting,yeaman

You'd have our slowest back in place of our fasted on the wing.?

Ever hear the old saying "forwards get you to Wembley and the backs will win the cup for you"?

We need as much pace as is available. Shaul, Briscoe and Crookes are the fastest we have available. All three should play (in the absence of Lineham)

No reflection on Rich Horne, but I don't see a place for him in the 17.

Horne and one of Pitts or Green to make way.

Horne and Green to miss out, for me, if everyone is fit.

Biggest concern is the centres.

If one of them is injured then we could either move Whiting to centre and Green to the bench, or play Horne at centre with Whiting on the bench. I'm not sure which of these two options I prefer.

Happy with pretty much any combination from that 19, given potential injury scenario at the final hooter on Friday night.
