Will he be starting though?

 

Burn undroppable at present. Botman clearly our best defender all things being fair and equal (™️Ange).

 

Personally I think he’ll probably go Schar and Burn, but I don’t think it’s cut and dried.

 

I think Schar is still automatic RCB. But I think Botman has proven he can cover on that side when needed. 

 

But I think Botman will go back to being phased back in now and be a rotation option. If Burn wasn't playing so well then he'd be straight back in as starting LCB I'd have thought. 

 

Nice to have options again finally.

Schar in defensive mid, anyone?

Nope It's been tried a couple of times and it was an unmitigated disaster. The caveat being that it was under worse managers so probably dumped there without instruction.

No, no and no again. 

Never get this weird obsession of some on here about playing a half competent footballing defender in midfield. Never works, and certainly isn't needed against Bromley.

Target Schar Kelly Trips 

 

I'd be surprised if its anything else. 

Agree with this. Time to rest a few legs this weekend.

 

Mf of Bruno (60mins as he missed Tue), Miley and Willock.

 

Top 3 of Barnes, Osula and Miggy.

I’m never comfortable with playing reserves in an FA Cup tie, but if there was ever a game where it could be justified it’s this one, though it does feel disrespectful both to what should be the centrepiece of English football and to Bromley FC.

 

Only one who absolutely should be rested is Isak.

The way both cups have gone for us in recent years they'd be better off charging 30 quid for the league cup and 20 for the FA cup

 

Yeah it's crazy paying 20 quid for a semi final against Arsenal but 30 quid for a 3rd round tie at home to Bromley.

I mean I think we’ll still play Schar, Trippier, Longstaff, Willock, Miley, hardly like we’re putting an u21 side out.

Think it will be a mix tbh, Tripps, Barnes, Willock and Longstaff are surely guaranteed ? It’s manly for me about resting Isak, Gordon, Joelinton, Tonali.

It’ll not be a team of reserves, but first team squad players and one or two regular starters who’ve been suspended. 
 

I’d guess
