With the emotion of yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if we go out here, Birmingham are a decent out of possession team, and if we play a change team, which is likely, I can see a tough game.

Gordon needs a rest, I’d prefer to play with 10 men than force him to play another 90 mins

Another opportunity to be involved at the end of a competition (and a Europa League place for the winners).  We need to take the very seriously.  For me it should be the same team as against Arsenal except Miley in for one of the three centre backs.  Tripos showed his value last night and needs game time.  Possibly Pope in goal -depending on the reason Eddie stuck with Dubs against Fulham and Arsenal - and sub off Isak, Gordon etc if we go two up.

Full rotation. This will be a proper iffy game and I wouldn’t be shocked if we went out. Be tough to take, but if we want UCL, it would be a blessing because I don’t think our squad can cope with another domestic cup run (where games could be harder) and league run too.

 

After a run of Man City / Forest / Liverpool, it would give us a rest midweek and mean we only then have West Ham before league cup final.

 

Having that run, then say a top 6 side at home next round where we’ll be obliged to give it a go, is too much for us currently I feel.

Not saying throw it but if we lost I wouldn’t be too bothered this year. Small squad and priorities elsewhere. The team Colo posted above should be the strongest we consider going (I’d take Burn out) and should still be more than enough

I'd even try and rest Bruno but we don't even have another midfielder :lol:

 

Unless we play Sanusi and put Willock in mid?
