Cup selectionswill tell us a lot

[jono_t2000]

I reckon as long as not struggling with any knocks, Hecky will allow the lads to decide if they wanna feature.

I'm sure Berge, Ndiaye, Mcburnie etc will all wanna play.

Prem league opposition on the telly. Great opportunity to showcase themselves.

Is Egan suspended?

..........................Davies
..............Anel......Clark....Robinson
......Bogle..............................Osborn
..............Doyle..........Coulibaly
.........................McAtee
.............Jebbison........Sharp

Subs: Foderingham, Basham, Lowe, Fleck, Norwood, Ndiaye, McBurnie.

I'm hoping Clark's bug isn't too serious, we really need him available for this one.
Should he not be, it's Bash - Anel - Robinson, as we're all out of options.

I'd play as few first teamers as possible. I always want to see us win but it's with mixed feeling when it could potentially hamper our bigger goal.
We've got a congested fixture list coming up. An injury prone squad. Would rather we didn't push them too far.
If we draw does it go to a replay?

 

[Bladesthorpe]

An “irrelevant keeper” who was at the World Cup ? A bit unfair on one of the better understudies we have had in the last 10 years.

His irrelevant penalty save got us into the next round as well.

No replay. There is the added burden of extra time and penalties. All the more reason why we should rest as many first teamers as possible.

No replay or extra time, straight to pens.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

No replay or extra time, straight to pens.

That's a good law introduction.
Other than the World Cup Final last year, extra time is usually terrible. It needs shortening or scrapping.

 

[mattbianco1]

I think Egan will start

I'm sure there's extra time.

Just checked. There is.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Gotta change this starting 11 as much as possible. I'll be going to the game and as long as the team gives 100% then I don't mind if we lose.

Egan suspended.

Two yellow cards in last two FA cup fixtures = 1 match suspension. Only get wiped at quarter finals.

 

[ancientblade]

im sure spurs will rest loris romero kane and kulesesky probably on bench theyve 2 very important games coming up mind hecky might do likewise actually think weve got half a chance wednesday can see it being closer than most are predicting

 

[Chingo]

Clarke looks like he’s out for Midweek.. got the Flu.

Back three of

……. Bash………Anel….. JLT.

Can‘t think of any other option unless we go to a back four which is apparently against the terms of the Magna Carta.

Apparently there is a bug in camp and few have got it

Ah yeah forgot about that cheers. Might have to have Robbo in there then.

 

[South Sea Blade]

I think Egan will start

Keep up

 

[Nick Jansky]

..and how big is the bonus for winning the cup ?

It will be nowhere near as much because it is worth nowhere near as much financially to the club.

 

[South Sea Blade]

Lloris, Bissouma, Sessignon and Bentancur are all out injured.

 

[247Blade]

Really don't care about cup .. give a few a run out ... its the league that matters!

4m for winners of fa cup 150m for promotion hmmm what do you think

 

[The Bear]

Just go for it I reckon. No worries if we lose (but could do without any injuries) but the chance for a bit of momentum and a nice boost if we put in a decent performance with the pressure off.

And there's hardly anyone to fear left in it. If we manage to beat Spurs (and I don't see why not) who knows how far we could go? Man City and Man Utd could draw each other- a pretty decent chance a different club get to the Final this year, why not us?

We should use the game as a full first teamer to see how good we are against top Prem opposition. After all at the moment if we got promoted I'd say there was the best chance ever of coming straight back down. The quality gap is just too wide and I dont reckon we have the dosh or the time to bridge it.

 

[mattbianco1]

4m for winners of fa cup 150m for promotion hmmm what do you think

And this...

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

…………………..… Davis

Bogle……Anel…….Clarke……JLT…….Osborn

………McAtee….…Coulibaly…….Doyle..……

………………Sharp…………..Jebbo

I still don’t think this a bad team at all.

Coulibaly won’t start though, Hecky doesn’t trust him imo he’s the first one out the squad when everyone’s fit. I think you’ve probably more chance of seeing Arblaster in there

 

[BalticBlade]

He’s a fool if he doesn’t. We really need to see more of this lad. No jeopardy in this game.

Hecky sees him in training every single day. He did quite well in his first start against Wrexham, but I reckon that will remain his one and only start for us before he moves on.

 

[Snowflake]

4m for winners of fa cup 150m for promotion hmmm what do you think

I was referring to the bonus for the players and the ongoing financial benefits of being a cup winner. Maybe not the gap that you might think.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Berge will play. This games made for him.

 

[Camden Blade]

Berge will play. This games made for him.

Personally I think Berge, Ndiaye and Jebbison will play with McBurnie on the bench. Unsure who he will go with for the midfield pair. Maybe McAtee and Doyle/Norwood/Fleck, two from those. May as well attack in the Cup.

 

[Wilderat Heart]

I would like to see Coulibaly given a go at some point. He looked more athletic and mobile than our current midfield. I know it was only Wrexham, but he looked to have something to offer. I get that he seems way down the pecking order but I, at least, would like another look at him. does he need to play a certain amount of games to get a work permit?

It might have only been Wrexham but don't forget we were rattled

 

[Karaoke Blade]

So what do we learn from Blackburn's team selection and subsequent victory at Leicester?

 

[wak1889]

I wasn't following it, did they play the first 11 or make changes ?
