Witton Albion vs Alsager Town

I have heard that the management are likely to use this game to give players who haven’t featured regularly a run-out. I would expect there to be a few changes but also a number of the regular squad involved as well. I would guess the team could read something like the following:

Cooper, Woolley, Wood, Ben Harrison, Gardner, Ennion, Jamie Harrison, Sheehan, Moseley, Titchiner, Hancock.

Subs: Pritchard, Clampitt, James, Newman, Buchan.

How close is Bailey to being fit? this would be an ideal run out for him. I would rest Titch for this one and give Newman and Buchan a full 90 mins. not sure about that young lad Moseley playing. not sure the Witton fans will take to him

If they haven’t taken to him by now, they never will!

If it were me (and thankfully it isn’t) I would give full games to all the players who were on the bench on Sat providing they are fit, Clamps, Mark Buchan, Dean, Mike and Matt Wooley. Players need to play whatever the level. Even if you are picking up £30K a week you want to play. Ask Nico Kranchar! I believe that Alsager will be trying out some fresh faces as well. SBL

You cannot blame clubs for not taking the Cheshire Senior Cup seriously, it needs a big sponsor to make it worthwhile to them. Anyone out there with money to invest in what was a great competition?

WHS it only becomes a lower rated tournament because of how clubs treat it aka the league and FA cup, I do not like fielding week teams period, we are unlikely to win anything significant and this could be our best chance of good silverware this season so imo go for it why not ?

Because we have a big and potentially massive game financially coming up.Pritch has little option but play the fringe players
WHS.

Yes, but if we play too many fringe players, then go and get beat, and the winner draws Chester in the next round, we would be sick!

“Fringe” players are OK but will they make “the cut”? We have a good “crop” though. Heard one or two goin on loan to “Barnet”

Good point Thatch, but would even Chester get a good gate for the Cheshire Senior Cup? Sadly the only Cup competitions that matter now are the ones we cannot win, the FA Cup and FA Trophy. Anyway, whoever Pritch plays I am sure they will give it all they have got.
WHS.

Good luck tonight lads.

Sanity prevails and pritch was sensible in his selection and gets the right result - simples
