TRon Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I don't really believe in resting players in the cups. It doesn't always help you in the league, look what happened to Fulham this week. It can just as easily break up your form and team spirit. The season is as long as it is, it must make a neglible difference to your final points total playing a few extra cup games. I look at it as more like a chance for Hughton to experiment with the team and pick a more adventurous formation. In the league he is obviously more cautious and worried about putting noses out of joint, but here he can argue he is protecting the seniors for the league fixtures.

ponsaelius Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I know we should rest players with our thin squad, but if we get past Peterborough and get a good draw next round. Surely then we gotta take it seriously? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Starts for Kadar, Krul, LuaLua and Ranger please. Bench cameos for Vuckic, and maybe Donaldson or Baheng if we can afford to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 To actually guage the full potential of the back up squad players it would be better to only play 3-4 youngsters max. Sticking too many inexperienced players into the line up suddenly isn't really fair on them. Butt could be useful in this game for that reason if he's paired with someone like Guthrie.

Beezeri Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Harper, both Taylors, Coloccini, Enrique and Nolan should all be rested! The recent schedule has been very tough and all these players have appeared already in at least in 8 matches of total of 9 we have played this season. Give start for Krul, LuaLua, Kadar, Tozer, Ranger and Vuckic... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I don't know how Nolan has played 90 minutes so many times. He's blowing out of his arse not long after the hour, baffling how he doesn't get subbed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I don't know how Nolan has played 90 minutes so many times. He's blowing out of his arse not long after the hour, baffling how he doesn't get subbed Even more baffling how he isn't fitter by now after playing every game. Maybe he just looks unfit because he's fat and slow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Krul R Taylor Coloccini Tozer Kadar Lua Lua Butt Barton Geremi Carroll Lovenkrands I'd keep Carroll in the side tbh, see if he can get another one and keep on going with the confidence and match fitness. Give him an hour and aim to give Lovenkrands the full ninety minutes, i say. Barton's a weird one aswell, i know, but similarly - if he can have a good game and get some confidence (if that's what he's actually lacking), then we'll benefit from it in the long term. Can't see that being the team mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Who told you that, binnsy? Very unexpected tbh. Peter Beardsley. Not that unexpected, he's one of the most promising youngsters we've got, was tremendous last season for the reserves and after missing the first few game of the season with injury was very good in the home reserve game against Bradford when no doubt he'd have impressed the watching Hughton.

Yeah, he was great against Bradford along with LuaLua he looked a level above the rest of our players. I have hardly seen him play but against Bradford he seemed to love to get forward even more than the midfielders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
