So basically not giving anything away and we will know at 11.30 am tomorrow.
Sounds more positive than I was fearingSo basically not giving anything away and we will know at 11.30 am tomorrow.
Not wanting to advocate potentially making an injury worse, but there is that old saying of "if you're fit enough for the bench..."
If Pearson can go on the bench I'd be tempted to start him and see how he goes... The opening 30 mins is going to be crucial in this match and we need as much talent on the park as possible...
It's a tough call I know. I agree in that I think Meps could probably do a job for us at the back if protected well enough... Thought Wilshere settled a dodgy 10 mins spell when we reshuffled a couple of times, but has he got it in him to do the grunt work Pearson does, for 90 mins...?
If he's fit enough, I would seriously be tempted to put Pearson in and hope he can at least make the first half... However, only if everyone feels he's fit enough to do so, which being on the bench would assume he probably could be...
Did JW say something recently about Wilshere being vital to the success of the team in the playoffs?
Think we might just be needing him tomorrow....
Agree , hopefully they’ve been working on something to accommodate him if need be , perhaps JW has known Pearson has been carrying a knock ?I don't see how wilshere fits into our favoured 4-2-3-1 formation, he doesn't have the legs to play in the defensive midfield 2

Do you think two will be enough?We need to get this tie over as quickly as we can, the long this games goes on I can see Brentford having more of a foothold. Let's score two goals before H/T and kill the game.
Hopefully we'll have less of a wait than we did for Fletch........This would be a great time for that Solanke hat trick we've all been waiting for.
