    I think he may too, but it would be f**king stupid of him.

    He might as well just walk onto to the training ground and ask who wants to play?
    But then he'll have the selection headache of how to choose the other 9!

    His pre match interview would suggest otherwise, unless he was bluffing.

    The difference being his best 11 and his best AVAILABLE 11 I guess, however we’ll see around 2-30

    I know we won’t anyway but I quite like the idea of trying to win a game of football. There’s a full week to rest after this. Bournemouth have a break coming up so doubt they’ll rest many.

    I'm usually of the same opinion regarding cup games, but imagine the pelters Marti would get if one or two players pick up long term injuries when they could have been rested?

    That can happen in any game though. They’re all made of tissue paper anyway and the majority of them are **** including the ones we think are quite good. Willock got injured by a ball hitting his leg at Ipswich. The cup is our one chance to make this season vaguely interesting.

    But if he takes that view after I’ve paid £20 plus train to watch it, at least play all the kids. Can’t be arsed watching Adomah and Richards ponce around.

    Off to bed now
    Not expecting to wake up to anything less than an extension of our cup record

    Go to bed for 10 months and we’ll have probably won the first round tie next time.

    I thought Marti had already said that Willock and Chair won't be fit for this game but he expects both to be available for the next home game !

    I'm not going because I can see nothing but a defeat. I hope he plays all the fringe players and that one or two stake claim for a first team place ahead of the wasters.

    If I'd know that I might have gone just for the novelty factor.

    Drewe, Dunne and Fox with no pace against Bournemouth who apparently attack with pace.

    Don’t mind Dykes, Armstrong and Smyth starting together. Is that the first time that’s happened?

    Don't claim to be an expert on the Bournemouth side, but a mate who supports them suggested to me this week that they'd be playing weakened side.

    First Beale is named on the Epstein list and now he’s losing the derby. Bad week.

    Dykes, Dunne and Dozy, even in the cup.
    I'll give this a miss. 5-0 to Bournemouth.
