The 1895 is for championship and league one and the two clubs are amongst the best of those eligible within those competition of which all are eligible. So you can say that the 1895 is an elite trophy/competition for the championship and below. |

can't disagree... whichever winger misses out they have every right to be disappointed. |

Toughest choice to make imo for Powell. Can’t really carry a winger on the bench either.
Purely on this season I’d go Walmsley and Olpherts as McGillvray missed a big wedge of the season. Honestly though I could understand if he went with any of the 3 but I think we could use Walmsley pace and try scoring ability for this one. You pick your best.
Not heard anything about Thornley so Croft could be in with a chance of turning out in that centre spot possibly too. |

Thornley was a guest speaker in Hospitality last Fri night and said he would be fine for the game and also seemed confident of being included. |

If we go with Thornley and McGilvery on the right hand side, is there too much risk of one of them not managing the 80 ?
If they're both fully fit, they should play but, if not, it's a fair old risk starting them both. |

I can see the point you are making and you’re not wrong but regardless i don’t think it’s right for the 1895 to be an afterthought and not given equal coverage.
Afterall, someone has decided that it’s worthy of being part of the days events at Wembley. How is the championship and league one supposed to grow and get sponsorship/tv deals of any value (which is one current holdback) to help the sport at that level grow when one of its major finals isn’t even on national tv at Wembley. There just doesn’t seem the appetite from above. |

Just accept that it will never have equal status with the Challenge Cup, nor should it...just as the League Cup will never have the same status as the FA Cup, or the 'Hub Cap' will never be equal to the Grand Final trophy. It doesn't make it any less important to the clubs contesting it, but I for one see it as a stepping stone rather than the objective. Doesn't mean I'll not enjoy being at Wembley to see Trinity play for a trophy, but I'll still be dreaming about seeing them lift the Challenge Cup before I shuffle off this mortal coil. |

Can't see DP taking a chance with either if that's the case.
Head will definately rule heart........ |
