Tough one but I'd start the 11 that started last night as well as the same subs except have Ampadu instead of Croll.

Will Oakley be handed a sentimental start or more likely a place on the bench? Tis's programme notes were 3/4 about him
Will Pym come back in?
Will Holmes be fit enough to last longer than 58 minutes given the big pitch and possible extra time?
Stacey or Sweeney? Attack or defence
James or Tilson?

By means of comparison, the teams for the 2 league games were (not necessarily in this formation)

1st game of the season (0-2):

Olejnik
----------
Sweeney - Brown (Oakley) - Moore-Taylor - Woodman (Wheeler)
----------
Taylor - James - Harley - Holmes
----------
Simpson (McAlinden) - Watkins

In February (2-2):

Pym
------
Stacey - Brown - Moore-Taylor - Woodman
------
Wheeler - James (Grant) - Taylor - Harley
------
Simpson (Watkins) - McAlinden (Reid)

I fully expect Oakley to get some sort of swansong if we are 3 up or down going into added time

If he's picked it shouldn't be on sentimental grounds.

The same starting 11 and bench as last night will be just fine, thanks. It was well balanced but with options to either go defensive, not that we're very good at that, or gung ho.

The closest Oakley should get is making the half time teas.

If Oakley is in the squad at Wembley it will be as bad as selecting big Clint at Liverpool #stillfuming. Wembley is no place for a man with no legs.

Is the Wembley pitch bigger than SJP?

Its huge compared to SJP. I should think its probably one of the biggest, if not the biggest pitch in the country. A lot of stamina needed for covering the extra distance the game'll require. A game where I would have thought Reid could start, and burn himself out for 45 minutes?
