As we perpare for the London Cup game this Sunday, it's easy to forget that this is new ground for the club. This is the first time we have reached this round, thanks to a resolute performance in the first round by the Forest Team.
With the KOPA team now available for selection, there is a lot of competition for the starting 11. Its a tough job picking 11 out of 35 very good players, especially as the Forest team has continued to win every game in style, and the KOPA team have picked up form over their last two games.
The final decision will be made by me today (Wednesday 18th) with recommendations from both managers.
My committment is that I will pick the best 15 I can, but with 15 being an odd number, there will obviously have to be more from one squad than the other. Keep in mind that we're in this competition as a joint team in order to build the spirit between the squads, which I know is already very good. But I also want to win!
One thing is for sure, Nick is our only goalkeeper and will have his place on the bus.
So far we have an injury to Sam (our club top scorer who would have started) and both Luke and Silv are away.
Phil has a rib injury but should be OK.
Watch this space!
**Further injury news...Chris Savva is STILL out with various broken bones and I believe Matt T is also out. Oh and so is YETI. The injury list just keeps growing.
