Official Match Preview

So who is actually available tomorrow night then?

Ashton and Oulton are definitely unavailable.

Dolman will probably not be ready.

Sam could be struggling.

And are Brad and Nabil both suspended?

With that in mind, could this be the lineup...

Finners
Mcnulty Winters Lee Ford
Orosz Bunts Leslie Evangelinos
Newman Lorraine

Joe Curtis should be ready at least for a substitute appearance as he was on the bench Saturday and did quite a bit of warming up, despite not getting on the pitch.

same as Saturday except Lorraine for Nabil and Winter for Brad

A bench of Curtis, wreh, heath and a couple of youngsters. Not sure what's happened to Stevenson, gone off the radar since he got injured. We've also never heard from Jordan holmes or lewis jackson again either

Disappointing result with a poor performance. Yes we are missing key players Ashton dolman sharif and oulton but that was still a decent enough starting line up to put in a better performance than that. Anybody know why our new goalie who was Man of the match or at worst was one of our best players in his 3 games has now ended up on the bench. Surely he can't need a rest or is it more that Finlay is one of peaksy's favourites?

This tie was lost on Saturday, almost mission impossible tonight with the amount of players out. Problem is we do have some very average players within the team at the moment and once the star men are out we do not have the quality to get by. Newman and McNulty are not good enough for this team.

I'm confused it's taken this long for someone to say it, thought he looked average in a Wellingborough team. Maybe if we played a different style he'd fit in but his strengths just aren't anywhere near the style we play. McNulty is below average but at least he's below average in two positions - we've had worse.

Ain't Heath cup tied?? Full credit to Lincoln tonight who played superb and won the game in the first half hour.. their second goal was something special..

Thought the lads were poor tonight, there was no spark in the team and to see wreh start tonight, I have now realised he is bang average.. bit of a poor referee decision awarding Lincoln the throw which I don't really think it was theirs for the first goal.. on a positive note they played better the second half but the damage was done.

Hopefully the lads can now concentrate on the league..

He was on the bench both games so surely isn't cup tied?
