Team v Lincoln

[1973Blade]

Who do we go with on Wednesday? A chance to give some game time for players.
I would go with Davies, Larouchi, Bogle, Trusty, Egan, Basham, Coulibaly, Brooks, Davies, Mcburnie, Osula.

 

[Argentinemanager]

Id give 45 mins to sousa, archer, mcburnie, bogle, basham,davies just to get some game time, and the rest made up of who ever wanted a game, would not be bothered if we went out everything should be geared up for next saturday

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Davies
Anel Egan Trusty
Basham Hamer Souza Larouci
Traore
McBurnie Archer

Trusty to LWB second half, Larouci LCB
Bogle on for 30 mins
Davies on for 30 mins - if available?
McBurnie off after 60 mins

Got to play a lot of the first team while there is still so much gelling to do

With a view to this for Everton;

Wes
Anel Egan Robinson
Baldock Hamer Souza Trusty
Traore
McBurnie Archer

We could do with getting a win just to stop the run of defeats. I'd go as near to full strength as possible without taking any risks on fitness

Yes be good to give those players some gametime. I always like a good cup run!

Hamer cup tied?

Davies
Basham Trusty Robinson
Bogle Brooks Norwood Davies Larouci
Traore Osula

Everton

Wes
Anel Egan Robinson
Baldock Souza Norwood Hamer Larouci

This is based on the presumption that Slimane and Osborne are out.

Where do the loans fit in against Everton ?

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

McAtee in for Traore if he signs (think he will)

 

[loyalblade95]

Hamer cup tied?

I think he is yes.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Give Marsh 20mins

 

[loyalblade95]

Only just found out that we play this game the night before the transfer window shuts. Play Marsh, Brooks, Coulibaly, Osula and any of the others who need game time before shipping Marsh and possibly Osula (if we can get another striker in) out on loan for the season.

 

[Silent Blade]

Why pick Egan when he also has to play for Ireland twice during the international break between the Everton and Spurs games?

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Because Egan's the one always guaranteed to be in the team so it would make sense for new signings to accumulate the minutes playing alongside him

 

[Weasel]

Depends where you plant the flag in respect of gelling the first team and getting them used to systems and tactics v giving players game time who need it. Difficult one. Ideally we would have two teams out midweek to cover off both. I suspect it will be a mix of both and not an easy decision to make. The result is fairly insignificant though obviously I want us to win, but the main point is to get the best possible outcome revthe two goals mentioned.

A lack of numbers, but I hadn't considered the international games. Maybe play Trusty, Robinson and Basham?

Seriki at centre back is not a good idea whatsoever

 

[Nick Jansky]

I’d play Frecklington for this one.

Anywhere along the back line I was just trying to get as many guys in who needed a game.
I'm in the school of thought a win would be nice but we are so far behind with 'season preparation' we need guys getting time on the pitch but also nobody getting injured who should start at the weekend.

Close to the team I would go with. Archer to start however and play 45-60 and probably Coulibaly in for Brooks

 

[bonobo]

I don't know who benefits from 'minutes' or 'resting', but we should put out a strong team based on players conditioning and building relationships for those who will be involved in the next few games. Having said that, I think it would be beneficial for those like Sachdev/Seriki or Brooks, who may not be part of our plans for the main squad this season, but given our injury record in certain positions maybe needed, to get some real time in those roles. And in general, please take the game seriously- a well organised in form league one team, is easily capable of matching a second xi from the Prem not used to playing together and we want that first win.

Frecklington for Egan & Coulibaly for Slimane I reckon

There's no point playing kids who'll never play in the league
