The Butcher Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Quite a few have played a lot of games over Christmas. I's rotate and give as many as possible a break. We're usually shite when we rotate mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) It’ll be a rough and scrappy game if we play the reserves, because they just don’t have the ability to dominate any match. But we should still do enough to win. Osula has a real chance on show what he can do here. And we’ll have Barnes.

David Edgar Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Cannot wait for this. Should be a chill win whilst we get to see some fringe players. Proper fun afternoon ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 This has come at great time in our impressive run, a few of our lads could use the break. We should have enough to get through by resting them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondonewc Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Surprised how many want to play Bruno, definitely wouldn't start him. Fine with playing Willock who needs minutes, @Mikky team above looks good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Wouldn't usually advocate big changes for the cup games. But without looking past this round, we are at home to a League Two side and actually have a decent'ish squad for once. It wouldn't be like we are chucking loads of kids and stiffs in. Quite a few could come in that were regular starters as recently as November/December. Or experienced pros and starters from previous seasons. It sounded like a few were struggling with niggles. I think Botman, Isak and Tonali coming out are no brainers. I also think Hall should get a rest, seeing as he is only 20 and has played A LOT this season. Not sure on the state of the players with knocks, like those above and Willock. But something like the below is pretty decent, I think: Vlach (not Lush) Trippier Schar Burn/Kelly Targett/Kelly Longstaff Miley Willock Barnes Osula Murphy Not sure Burn will be rested as he is so important to our shape and organisation at the back and he just loves playing for the club so much. Plus I'm assuming they will look to set pieces for some success. Maybe Bruno for the first 45-60 minutes from the start if Willock isn't good to go? You could still have a bench with all our main men on bar maybe Isak if his hammy is a risk and Botman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Cambridge was at a totally different time for us as a club and with the players we had available. Sheff Wed was a shitshow. But it was away to one of the best sides in League One. Not at home to a mid-table League Two team. I think we can still field a strong side with a few players that have been starters for us over the last season or two and some of the fringe players that deserve a go.

alexf Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 With the chance to push for champions league and one foot in the league cup final. I'd probably be prepared to go all in on those two and sacrifice the fa cup. Not that we should need to with this opposition. But just wonder if we have the squad to fight on 3 fronts. We saw last year it was a real strain on the squad having extra games. Hopefully we can keep resting players and get some nice draws for few more rounds and then we can review where we are at regards the league and squad fitness.

mondonewc Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 We don't need to "sacrifice" the FA Cup, there's two games max left in the League Cup so we aren't going to be hugely stretched on three fronts. The proposed 2nd team most are saying is still huge favourites to win vs Bromley at home, then we see who we get next if we get through for what team we need to put out, and the next round of the FA Cup is the weekend after the League Cup semi so don't need to rest players for that.

ponsaelius Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 It's not like the FA Cup particularly stretches the squad. Rounds 3, 4, 5 and QF are all on allocated free weekends anyway. You're only getting a fixture postponed if you get to the semi finals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
