Kenny hasn't so much got selection problems, as a total lack of options. Smith's suspension rules him out of this game IN ADDITION to 2 League games (see previous correspondence !). Nobody who was NOT on the books and eligible to play in the semi can play in the final, so THAT rules out Bateson, Young,  Johnson, and Connors. Assuming no additional injuries, the likely team is :

                                                                                                                              Dootson
 Joseph                                                               Williams                                                                        Piergianni                                         Brown
 Baynes                                                               Lawton                                                                         Danylyk                                           Clee
                                                                           Reeves (or Beesley)                                                     Twiss

Subs : Coburn and 4 teenagers

Thank goodness it's an unimportant game.

I would try to give clee a night off, but Ken doesnt really have a lot of choice

[finnquark]

Are Sonko and Coly still around?

Good point ! Coly played in the semi !

[RageAgainstTheFirstTeam]

Would definitely try to omit Clee. Lawton at left mid with Coly in centre or something...

[markecky]

Smiths suspension?

[GolfRoader]

game to ease Densmore back in?

game to ease Densmore back in?

Definitely not ... Lets wait until he is ready for the real battle ahead

[bumble]

Bench imo, just if its 10 mins at the end...

real chance for those kids that signed for newport to have a game

Yep see your point but I agree with Jack on giving him some minutes to get a bit of match practice in

Smiths suspension?

JL mentioned in his live updates that Smith has been given a two-match ban for the Kidderminster incident. So he'll miss today and FGR and also be unable to play in the CSC final.

[Nasha]

Thank goodness it's an unimportant game.

Come on Phil, FGR is without doubt the biggest game of the season, but this is still the Green Slime in a cup final!!!

Rest those with injuries/knocks (ie Reeves/Clee), but still send out the best we have got.

It's the green slime in a jumped-up friendly. If it was left to me, I wouldn't risk a single first teamer for this load of nonsense. We've got far more important matches to worry about.

[RocketDan]

I would rest:

Coburn, Joseph, Young, Clee, Johnson & Reeves

so:
Doodson, Bateson, Sonko, Baynes, Twiss & Beesley

in like for like.

I reckon you are pretty close Phil,.....Reeves injured, not sure if James Smart is OK now but if so would play him left back with Brown left midfield, Theo Kidd to come on when Twiss/Beesley done nothing as usual. Think maybe Coly not with us now.
