Rule 15f or something states they had to be eligible for the first tie to play in the replay. So we can have lans, but fox, hobbs (who was recalled just before, terrorist, and Gomis can't play.
I'm not sure about Vaughan because his loan expired afterwards. I guess because he was in the first tie so he could be in the second.
I'd vote
Darlow
Jara Halford jamelle lichaj
Vaughan/moussi lans
Macki pato abdoun
Cox
Reid needs resting hut other than that, full strength!

I don't think the team will be massively dissimilar to Sunday and that is right. Don't change a winning team wherever possible. The Cup is important as it helps boost confidence even further.

TBH if we went out I would not be unhappy or disappointed.
On saying that, keeping a run going is good and with the depth we have, players can always be rested.
I agree that Reid should be given a rest.

A cup run is important for the income column. With FFP now in force and not being allowed to exceed £8m losses; it could be the difference between fine/embargo and not.
On saying that I trust Fawaz has it covered

I agree resting Reid alright and maybe give De Vries a game but other than that I think we need to field a strong enough team or we will lose, would like us to get through and play a prem team, see how good we really are.

Apparently the club have said none of the five signings can play. Something to do with Vaughan and Hobbs being on different registration to when they were here before.

Sounds about right. Don't want to win the replay ten get thrown out of the cup on a technicality! Enjoying watching Leeds squirming under the spotlight this week, don't want to take the spotlight off of them!

We want to win this cup game, keep the run going. Also because I want the leicester home game rearranged to a date when I can get up there for the game!

"Rule 15f or something states they had to be eligible for the first tie to play in the replay."
Another great rule considering that players we may have had for the first game may have also moved on since

That's a good point but then it is just all part of the competition. The well organised survive!
