Nige's line up for Tuesday

[Blade58]

Reed and Khan came off after 60 mins with Cloughy having a chat with them

Could be they will be involved tomorrow night

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

A like for the info not the injury. Replace him in my team with Calvin-Lewis or Khan then.
Flynn and particularly Murphy should be rested and not risked.

We're so close to being able to put our strongest side at Wembley for once.
Let's not have any more hard luck stories this time (e.g. If only Murphy had played).

Agree, first 11 fans with their boots get a game.

Dont forget shin pads gp,health and safety and all that

Steve Evans interview was very clever - 'we'll show no respect for the game United have on Sunday, we'll make it a fight, we'll be in the trenches' translates as 'if you pick your best side Nigel, we'll kick them to bits'.

Maybe he should respect that if it weren't for the cup run he would probably have lost this fixture weeks ago.

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

Obviously not old enough to remember then?

Probably old enough, just never seen it.

I recently rewatched the damned united. Brian Clough playing a full side just before the Cup game and Leeds kicking lumps out of em! Even though i read somewhere the whole thing was factually bollocks and it never happened. Whatever we can get away with, we should do. If we're allowed to put the entire youth team in, then we should do. No idea what the rules are with these things. Obviously if you're Man Utd you can get away with it.

Factually Bollocks?

You never saw that set of cunts play then did you? Hunter, Charlton, Bremner, Giles, Lorimer, Clarke and (dirtiest of all according the George Best) Reaney. They kicked seven bells out of everyone every game, only in a very sly underhand way usually. Nastiest side I've ever seen in my life by a country mile.

 

[Kenilworth]

Here's my revised line up for this evening - after giving it some further thought.

Long
Freeman, Collins (c), Hill, Harris
Dimaio, McGinn, Coady, Reed
Paynter, Khan

Factually bollocks as in the movie shows Leeds crocking a load of Derby players a few days before Derby played Juventus in the European Cup. Then they lost with an under strength team, with Clough getting blamed for not leaving players out against Leeds. According to several sources on the internet, Derby didn't even play Leeds before the Juventus game and didn't have any players out injured.

Long
Freeman Hill Kennedy Harris
De Girolamo McGinn Dimaio Davies
Porter Paynter

I would only play Harris from our first choice team as he probably needs 60 minutes game time.
However, I don't see this as being a particularly weak team.
All bar Kennedy, Dimaio and Diego have plenty of first team experience.
Fringe players and youngsters are more likely to give Rotherham a good game than first-teamers playing at 50%.
I can't see the league having any cause to complain at such a line-up and anyway the precedents have been set.

I was delighted with the team Cloughie picked in the end, although personally I wouldn't have risked Harry either.

Still, assuming we've no injuries it couldn't have gone much better. Well done Nige.
