What happens if he plays tomorrow and his hamstring goes within minutes?

He then won't play tomorrow for the majority of the game and would miss Wembley anyway, if we got there.

Its a very very hard decision to make.

I also think to see Bellamy go off would make a lot of the players heads drop.

I think you have to play your strongest team, then if you go ahead, you can back off / change it a bit.

I don't see the point in playing a weaker team and hoping it'll be ok. If you go behind you have to try and chase the game to get back into it, which would put more strain on the players.

I think they need to make the call on how likely he is to pull up.
If he is only 50/50 then I feel it would make more sense to keep him on the bench, not because of Wembley risk, but the negative impact it would have on his team mates and on the fans if he were to go off after 15 minutes again.

Oh christ im logging off, I cant stand the pressure!!!

Bellamy should not play.

We need 11 fit players out there and dont tell me a half fit Bellamy is as good as most of our players.

It all depends how close to full fitness they are IMO.

There's no point in playing anybody who isn't close to being fully fit. That helps absolutely nobody.

If he was feeling good then i would play him...... getting to the final has to be the main thing, worry about who plays in the final once and only once we get to it :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

We should only play them if they are fit.....we should not be playing people who cannot give their all

I hope they are both fit to play but if not, then I believe we have the players who can step up to the mark and get us to Wembley and give them a chance to play there :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
