Only 16 can be in the squad. Would you really put them ahead of Scott or Ngwa/Taylor.

Quorn were the better side, it’s as simple as that. They came with a game plan, they started with a high intensity, they isolated Ngwa and Taylor, which cut off the supply to our strikers.

I actually thought we started off well, but once they got the first goal it was only going one way, not quite sure how Ben Heath missed it, maybe his view was obstructed? Also Mmaybe it’s time to drop Emery to the bench, and see what Dylan can do from the start?

Think he was just asking if they were available or not. They probably would make the bench if fit

Have we got a second-string? Would it be lads from the u16 or u18? Not complaining either way just curious.

Also wonder if it's worth just pulling out of the cup entirely- is there significant prize money or benefit from getting to the final?

I would say a second string would include D. Wilson, Johnston, Tagoe, Thomas, Empson, Louis Lawlor, plus lads from the u18 squad and maybe some from the scholars if they aren’t signed on elsewhere and cup tied? Maybe John Dean too, I don’t think he’s cup tied? He played for Daventry last night so I presume he just isn’t making it into our squad at the mo.

Dean and Dylan Wilson are cup tied, along with Heath, Wyatt and Scott

It’s not as simple as just playing a second string team I’m afraid. According to the rules, as it’s a semi final, players must have been registered with the Club on January 31st AND have played in at least 1 league game for the team playing in the semi-final. Clubs can ask for special
Permission to play ineligible players up to 3 days before the match but in my experience, it’s not very forthcoming and would be limited to 1 or 2 players.

Withdrawing from the competition is a possibility but would come with a fine for failing to fulfill the fixture and, although there’s no financial prize, it’s a good experience to play at Sixfields (if we got through!). I think I’d be looking to move the fixture if possible - but that’s reliant on both Posh and the NFA agreeing and also HR being available.

Proper demolition job.
If Quorn had had any supporters there they would have been proud of their club
