It will be interesting to see who plays in this game. I'd normally suggest we might play a full strength side at this stage of the competition, but given our shortage of fit / available defenders, especially given Brad's forthcoming 2 game ban, we might need to take the league situation into account, with less than a fortnight of the transfer window remaining.

A consequence should we win, is when would they play the semi final as all our dates are now taken?
Probably not going to happen anyway, but you never know!!!

Will we get an appearance of the elusive Jamie Tank tomorrow?

Ross Oulton tweeted last week that he should be playing in this game.

It would be nice to get a half decent crowd for this one given we're playing higher level opposition and have reached the latter stages of the competition.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

I would imagine the 5 subs from Saturday will get a start, plus Lewis Leslie and Tank, maybe Oulton and Westwood.

That just leaves 2 from Saturdays line up required.

Buxton have a similar league record to ourselves, but of course are in a higher division, and are also looking to get a play off position.
On Saturday they drew with top club Blyth Spartans after having lead 2-0

Don't forget Witton at home to Leek tonight. That could be a big boost to us ahead of Saturday if Witton win.

It will be interesting to see how many players Buxton 'rest' tonight bearing in mind they are also trying to secure a play-off berth?

He has obviously recovered as he is in tonights line up, alongside Brad. Still no sign of Jamie Tank.

On paper we will be very fortunate to get past tonight.

Buxton starting x1 includes 6 from Saturday plus the five that were subs on Saturday. Tonights subs include 3 that started Saturday.
