Hopefully we get waine in if ball is out- don't like having hooper and davila up front as they're not as quick. Davila can't cover for hoopers terrible work rate.

Consider that our previous game against WSW in December was 2:1 and it was only decided by a penalty in 89 minute. We lined up with Sotirio, Davila, Piscopo and Ball upfront. Assuming unchanged back four, and with Steinman and preferably Devlin instead of Rufer, the front four could be Sotirio, Davila, McCowatt and Hooper (Waine to come on in second half).

That is a fair point (although I would say 'Hooper's speed' rather than 'work rate' myself). However, if Sotirio is available, him and McCowatt would be able to provide speed if this is what wins us the game. Cacace and Payne are not exactly slow, but Cacace is a more skilful player than Payne and commits fewer fouls, so speed on our left flank may again be the decisive factor.
