Just seen this on Stod's Twitter - it seems they had two players out on loan during the semi-finals that THEY can't use in the final either!

Stags currently have 14 players fit and eligible for the game at Wembley.

Players eligible and fit to play at Wembley:
by my reckoning, by Martin:

Marriott
Collett

Silk
Naylor
Foster
Spence
Stonehouse

Briscoe
Murray
Cain
Thompson
Smith
Nix

Connor

Injured but with a chance of playing: Mitchley.

Suspended, pending appeal: Istead.
Not eligible: Grof, Preece, Hall, Medley, O'Rafferty, Higginson, Parker.
Definitely out injured: Day, Sandwith.

They only have Paul Connor available up front?! surely that can't be right?

[Ben Superstag]

Briscoe, Smith & Probably Cain could also play upfront.

Briscoe is our top scorer anyway!

Will Fozzie play?

[Ben Superstag]

Will Fozzie play?

I would suspect so, considering Sandwith, Preece & Day are all injured, he's one of two centre halves we've got

I reckon we'll line up like this...

4-4-1-1

Marriott

Silk
Foster
Naylor
Spence

Cain
Nix
Thompson
Briscoe

Murray

Connor

Dunno how I feel about that really. I mean, we all think the bloke's brilliant, but seeing him playing at Wembley for another team might be a bit weird. Ah well, so long as he doesn't knack any of our players like he did in the game at our place, then I'm sure I'll get over it with a couple of beers.

Sorry if its been asked before but is Paul Connor match fit then ? His injury sounded pretty bad last i heard ...

[Ben Superstag]

Connor is fit and well as far as I'm aware.

Foster running out at Wembley, not only for a different team, but for the team he supports and loves

[tdk1]

He could return to training, they reckon, so that'll pretty much be a no. But then, adrenalin is probably a decent enough source of fitness on the day

Adrenalin counts for nothing if your calf is fucked!! If its as bad as they made out then he'll be able to hobble quicker on adrenalin!

[tdk1]

So we reckon he'll last about two minutes then hobble off then? Or, as it's known in the trade, 'do a whelan'.

When I saw this thread I had images of Stone Cold causing havok in Mansfield.

I'm slightly disappointed.
