Team v Bristol Rovers

[Numpty's Dusty Ruts.]

Don't see why anyone would assume we'd win this. If he puts out the "strongest " side and they lose to a very average L1 side all hell will be let loose. I'd put out some crap reserve side, then he has an excuse.

If their parent clubs will allow it then the 2 new loanees should start.

Will be interesting to see how our first team ingrained loser mentality deals with it. Id be tempted to shake it up regardless, new blood. If we do get dicked it at least gives Wilder a new excuse.

Subs: Half; Tutu; Munro; Plesiosaur; Bonxie; Sharp

 

[CarlMcBlade]

He needs to get these first team failures scoring goals. So no better game to play our “strongest team”

 

[VwBlade]

11 identical clones of Tony McMahon

 

[BobblesBlade]

He will definitely play a 2nd string team and we will lose. Everyone will say oh well we don’t need the cup to hinder any chance of staying up. What a season this will be

 

[Toronto Blade]

Does anyone really want to put out our best available 11 when they have to play Newcastle with only 2 days rest.

 

[BigBed]

Verrips
Bash - Egan - Bryan

Baldock - Bogle - Norwood - Osborn - Stevens

Didzy - Brewster.

Subs.
Burke - Hackford - Slater - Fleck - Lowe - Robinson - Ramsdale - Mousett - Brunt.

 

[Varkanoid]

Depends who is left, we had 9 subs, then 6 so probably got 3 subs on Saturday. Will be like the olden days!

 

[Shoreham_Bhoys]

Give Hackford a start, see what he’s got when allowed to grow into a game against League 1 opposition.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Ramsdale

Basham Egan Robinson
Baldock Lowe
Ampadu Norwood Fleck
Brewster Burke

Verrips
McGoldrick
Hackford
Brunt
Stevens
Moussett

 

[SUFC Guy]

It needs to be a confidence booster for the team. Id go with:

Ramsdale
Bash
Egan
New LCB
Bogle
Lowe

Lundstram/new guy
Fleck
Norwood

Mcgoldrick
Burke


I'm obviously hoping for a much needed win but this is not guaranteed as we know.

[S64 Blade]

I'd be tempted to go as full strength, as possible (whatever that looks like at the minute!). It may give some of them a confidence boost... Alternatively, we might still lose and that theory could backfire massively. A couple, could probably do with a rest, so if the below are fit, I'd go with;

----------------Ramsdale----------
-------Bash------Jags-----Robinson
Bogle----------------------------Lowe
-----------Norwood---Fleck----------
------------------Didsy---------------
------------Sharp------Brewster------

Verrips
Egan
Baldock
Osborn
Brunt
Hackford
Burke

 

[bertieblade]

Think Didzy / Bash and Egan should and will be rested.
Brewster and Ramsdale should start to give them confidence.

God knows about the rest.
Playing like last season it should be a walk in the Park, but this season we playing in a field of treacle

 

[bladesmanluke]

Full strength. Not up for debate

 

[bakeblade]

Does anyone really want to put out our best available 11 when they have to play Newcastle with only 2 days rest.

Yes I do

 

[Mumbo]

What was touted as a nowt cup tie when the draw came out is now vitally important for morale.
Wilder might make changes to the starting 11 but we desperately need a lift before Newcastle so I expect our strongest side to be available all be it from the bench.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Just like a dog that shits on your carpet. The Palace 11 should have their collective noses rubbed in the mess they’ve made. They should be given the chance to pay back Wilder with decent performance against inferior opposition.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Verrips
Bogle Rod or Bash Jags Bryan Lowe

Rod or Bash Norwood Ossie or Fleck

Sharp Brewster

UTB

 

[metalblade]

It needs to be a full strength side and Wilder needs to get them up for this, Brizzle Rovers will be smelling blood after watching that shite we served up at Palace. Anything less than a good win will be a disaster.

 

[Newbury Blade]

I can see us struggling in this one whoever is picked. Not even sure how much of an upset it would be if we lost.

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

We haven’t got many fringe players due to injury’s unless we play youth

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Verrips
Bogle Rod or Bash Jags Bryan Lowe

Rod or Bash Norwood Ossie or Fleck

Why should our so called “first team” miss out on a potentially confidence building first win???

That’s what I would do. You obs don’t agree

The 1st team need a rest from football IMHO. It’s all got a bit on top for most of em. I’d give many of them the week off tbh with an instruction not to have contact with each other.

Come back in next Monday and be ready to sweat blood .

Yeah I know what you mean. But just think what it would do for Brewsters confidence if he scored a couple of goals, or even for Ramsdale to potentially keep a clean sheet.....It could be a catalyst?

I picked Rhian to start .

I’d personally like to see what Verrips is about and if indeed he should be seriously challenging for the main shirt.

[chesblade]

Youngsters, sack the 1st team if wilder has gone, they are pathetic so why play them

 

[CoatesyBlade]

Ramsdale
Bogle Egan Jags Lowe
Brunt Norwood Osborn
Didzy
Brewster Burke

 

[Bladesince59]

Verrips woiuld be a really good shout for this one so as "not to offend" Ramsdale. You never know he might even stop the odd 25 yarder.

Can't say I am looking forward to what could be a massive humiliation. Last time I saw United at Rovers was an early February evening match that resulted 0-0.
