It'd be better if the play off finals were at Villa Park or Hillsborough. I know that's not the dream for players (and we could conceivably be playing in the league at Hillsborough next season) and it'll never happen but a sold out proper ground like that would be so much better than a half full Wembley. Without looking at the stats of players, if we played northampton in the final i,d imagine that there will be players not making a wembley debut from both sides who might actually have never played at old trafford. Just out of interest, then anyone know how many of our current squad have/haven't played at Wembley?

Really looking forward to this.
Got a few friends coming, including my better half's Dad and Brother.
Overall I'll be sat with fans from United, City, Everton and Rangers.
Might not be to the taste of some, but we're getting adopted by rivals fans as a second club.
I'll take a nice 2-0 win under the lights 😃

Do any of the 3k exhales know if this is streamed? Yeah, anyone in the UK or outside of the UK can stream it today, as it's an international weekend. Get on COWS.

Always going to be a big game but thanks to results this weekend and fixtures next weekend mean it’s now in the season defining bracket.
Doesn’t look like Grenada have got another fixture so Hippolyte presumably back. Surely he’ll come straight into midfield with Rydel staying at LWB.
The biggest concern for me is whether Horsfall is ready. He won’t be rushed but my god we could do with him. Don’t fancy Lewis or Johnson in the middle of a back three.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we’re looking at an unattached CB for the run in.

Just hope horsfall is not rushed back too early and he breaks down possibly losing him for the whole season. Hippo coming back is no help if you have lewis and johnson as our starting central defenders as his best work is in the oppositions half.

It's taken on huge significance now we win this and automatic is back on, I know we've been nowhere near our best lately but even without a settled defence we're not conceding and Ben's having very little to do, we just need to find that spark that can turn a game in our favour, they're in decent form as well so it's got all the makings of a big night.

Hippo won’t have trained as much and will be jet lagged. I’d be very surprised if he’s in the starting lineup.

They seem to be scoring goals away from home, so presumably they'll come to play. That could be good for us. Has the makings of a good night.

Railway selling pretty well, a good chance it’ll be entirely sold out.
As much as I’d rather not be playing Salford at all, it’s nice to be playing them in front of 10k in L2 and not 5k in NLN.

We got MSH and Horsfall back right? surely they will be on the bench or will one of them be starting and one on the bench or what do you think?

Horsfall maybe, although Dave didn’t seem particularly convincing, don’t think MSH is anyway near yet msh is out for the season and horsfall might make it on the bench but we won't want him to start and get injured again because then we have a problem with managing his injury.

We might need to get used to the idea of going into the biggest game of the season with Lewis and Johnson in a back 4…
