None of Smith, Xisco or Guthrie has a future at the club so what's the point really playing them? This is a great chance to give a run out for the more promising youngsters like Vuckic, Rangers etc. Sure it's not going to be an easy one if Pardew goes Arsenal like full youth team(what I much doubt though) but I still believe we should win it pretty confortably...I'd like to see something as below

 

                 Krul

 

Perch  Williamson Kadar  Ferguson

 

      Gosling     Vuckic     Inman

 

        Best        Ranger    Moyo

 

Gosling won't be ready to start a game. Vuckic, Inman, Moyo? :lol:

 

I don't see what the issue is?

Whatever team we stick out on Saturday i just hope no important players (should any of them play) get injured as we play the scumbags 8 days later.

 

Hopefully Tiote will be ok for that game. He has 10 days.

Those 3 would cost us the game IMO. Playing boys with no experience generally doesnt help you win games.

Ok, we'll play Alan Smith instead, he has plenty of experience. :thup:

 

There's nothing wrong with blooding youngsters in a game like this, as long as there is a good balance of experience to help them out. We're playing Stevenage ffs.

Well that would be silly, he's knacked.

Theres no youth/experience balance to that team though - it's practically all kids with one or 2 with experience hoyed in.

Those who are talking about fielding what is basically a reserve side are forgetting two things. Firstly we are not Arsenal, we need to have a core of first team strength with a couple of fringe players making up the team to make sure we get through, give some respect to Stevenage, they are not going to turn round, bare their arses and just let us rip them a new arsehole. If we want to be in the 4th round come Saturday night I think we need a stronger team than just our reserves to get there. Secondly the fans are paying £30 to see the game. I would feel mightily cheated if having paid that I was faced with a team full of reserves. Ok put the likes of Krul, Ferguson, Kadar and Ranger in, but there is no need to completely change the team and it would be unfair to the paying fans to do so.

I think Pardew will field his strongest possible team. But due to injuries that team could be weak as piss in midfield.
