This is a very important game NOT just another League match. Must not lose this game and hopefully win it first time of asking. Need to start with our best XI.

No reason not to go full strength with this.

We'll go pretty much full strength, mainly because we don't have enough players to do anything else.

I'm not too bothered about this game. If we win, great. If not, it's OK too. I know some people love the idea of us winning the FA Cup, but given the amount of injuries and our slight dip in form since Christmas, only having the league and Conference to focus on might be enough.

its a great opportunity to find our form  again. Winning breeds confidence that we can take into the othet 2 competitions. Winning the FA cup is an entry into Europe should we fail to win the conference league or slip down the table. Fixture congestion is not an issue this month and next

Cash                   McGinn

I think he will play Cash wide right also - not a great thing but that what he will do
