I do question how strenuous the medical on Clive Platt must have been last summer when we agreed to give him a 2 year deal.
A fully fit Platt is a good player, but I doubt whether he will ever be fully fit again given his injury record and type of injuries this year.

To allocate whole blocks as singing sections was not specific enough.
The Club would have been better off identifying a block and allcoating the back 3-4 rows of it as the singing section.

Would the selection of Bayo over Platt made a difference? Who knows...
What I would say though, is judging by how fussy the ref was when he did come on I don't doubt it would have been a fustrating afternoon for the big man.
The game was won and lost out wide, the complete ineptitude of our wide players to close their wingers down gave them the freedom of Wembley, and seeing the goals again it beggers belief the amount of time and space they had to get the ball in the box.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I can't believe there isn't a part of ADB that doesn't wish he went with the same 11 who defended so well at Cheltenham.

Would have no issue losing Tozer, apart from his throw he doesn't excel in a particular position.
The problem with Tozer is that through no fault of his own, he's been dragged from one position to anther without being able to learn a specialist position. Didn't GJ say that he thought Tozer would play in the Premiership one day as a central midfielder? Well, if he did genuinely think that then I'd imaging Yeovil may have a look at him.

I thought Martin Jol did a reasonably good job, have they sacked him?
I heard somebody say the other day that Fulham should be a MLS side with the players they have... It's the team were people go to retire. I liked that.

It's funny isn't it? Our biggest game in years and the thread about the Match itself has dropped all the way to the bottom of page 2.
Its only this morning that the nerves about the game have started for me, up until now I've been too excited about the day itself to even give the match much thought... However having seen yesterdays Chron and the news stories popping up on the BBC website the butterflys in my stomach have really started now.
As for the team selection, I think he'll go with the same team that started the home leg against Cheltenham.

Has London Meland released their plans for Saturday yet?
No but I recieved a series of tweets from them last night... I think they are panicking and are asking people were possible to go from MK, Wellingborough or Banbury. They did say they would let people know as soon as possible.

One of the factors that meant we took 42k in 98 was just how good it was in 97...
We all got back and told everyone how good the day was, so when it came around again the year after, everyone wanted a piece of the action.
Now, if we were to win in the last minute again this year, and then somehow get to Wembley again next year I bet we take 40k again...
