As long as he's back for the Final, I don't see a problem.

I don’t think that’s stonewall for me. He’s turning into a challenge and shielding himself no? Doesn’t look particularly deliberate from this video for me?
On a side note to this too…
After Bristol City it’s clear to me that Downes & Charles can’t be on the pitch together. It just doesn’t seem to work! Could end up being a silver lining this

Hasn't really worked as a partnership all season.
if we're not going with a three though Bragg will come in as Jander and Charles be far too open.
Please can we stop talking about three at the back. Has everyone forgotten how dreadful we are defensively playing that system?!
Absofuckinglutely this. We just need to defend set-pieces better and not have too many cooks back there.
We lose too much further forward and we don't want to be spending long periods playing in our own half.
I've not seen anyone talk about it? My post above was about midfield.
Well if he's back for the final that means we won semi so in that situation there isn't a problem.
Chances of that extremely low though. Were anyway but even less so now.
Fair one mate, but I’ve heard it being mooted. Would be a terrible idea.
FA Cup Final has been confirmed for a 3pm kick off on 16th May.
Yeah wouldn't be opposed to it late in the game if we're winning like we've done a few times recently but starting with it against City would just instantly make it a 5 in reality.
Only positive is that it possibly suits Wellington better but the negatives outweigh that for me.
Dya know what… I’ll take Bragg at DM. He has looked quality every second he’s played this season & he knows what it means more than any other player in our squad.
Let him at em!!! Fire in the belly

Yeah, I don't think he'll let us down, i'd pair him with Jander with Shea to come on and score a late winner with a worldie!
He can eat chicken with impunity tonight.Flynn returned all his 'Family & Friends' allocation
Would say sad times but may end up a blessing!
That's rotten luck, happened to me once in my 49 year career (on the railway!), the 2003 FA Cup Final!
