I've just ordered tickets online there but the only option was for collection, which seems to be 9-5 so can't get there after work. Would I be able to give say my brother my debit card and him be able to pick them up or will I have to queue before kick-off?

 

Your brother will be fine collecting them I reckon. Just give him your order number and name. Doubt they'll need much else.

What about Ivan Toney? Bench or start? Too sentimental? He has a good goal record scoring for them, so may be ideal opp to blood him. I'll be surprised if Aarons and Thauvin don't start ( mouthwatering...). Only thought is if they are trying to shift Gouffran, he may feature.

Hope to see:

 

          Krul

Janmaat-Mbemba-Coloccini-Haidara

  Tiote-Colback

Thauvin-De Jong-Ayoze

      Mitrovic

 

Play the best team and get a win, with the exception of giving Anita and Wijnaldum a rest.  Give the defensive unit minutes.  Give the front four some minutes to build fitness.

 

If De Jong looks ropey and the result is not going our way, no fucking about, haul him off at half time and get Wijnaldum on.

 

Hopefully give Aarons 30 minutes of the bench.  Use the expendable Obertan off the bench if necessary to give Mitrovic/Thauvin a rest assuming the game is sewn up.  Maybe even Taylor too for a defender if anyone is flagging and the game appears won.

 

Do not think we will see any of Williamson, Bigirimana, Gouffran, Vuckic and rightly so as they are all gash.

Surely after all the talk, they have to go full strength for this. A win is needed to build on today's performance and they have plenty time to recover for the weekend after it.

 

Tiote, De Jong and Aarons are potential first team starters anyway. It's not as if anyone's suggesting to throw a bunch of kids in like Pardew did last year.

This season is the first time in god knows how long that we have had a good bench, a few changes here and there and we will still be nice and strong.

I would go with match fitness in mind:

----------------------------Darlow-------------------------

Janmaat--------Lascelles-------Colo--------Dummet (if fit)

--------------------------Tiote-------------------------------

aarons---------DeJong--------Ayoze--------Thauvin

--------------------------Mitrovic--------------------------

 

bench: krul, Taylor, mbemba, Wiji, Cisse, Obermong, Colback

I would make some changes, important to get other players up and running too.

 

                    Darlow

 

Janmaat - Mbemba - Colo - Haidara

 

                Tiote - Anita   

 

      Thauvin - De Jong - Aarons

 

                    Mitrovic

                        Tiote

 

Thauvin  De Jong  Vuckic    Aarons

 

                        Cisse

Pretty sure Tiote would get sent off within half an hour in that system

You'll be sick if we give our sub keeper a run out against a League Two team at home? :lol:

 

I think it's probably best to blood him, so that if Krul does get injured or suspended the guy has already made his debut and there's that bit less pressure on him coming off the bench.
