A week tomorrow we get the chance to put right 93 minutes of wrongs. Would you field the same 11 and tell them to prove SB wrong, or go for the jugular and play a stronger side? Judging SBs post match reaction, I dont think losing is an option. For me, the 11 who played on Saturday certainly have the credentials needed to win that match, on paper. However we're lucky we didn't get a hiding. LO were by far the better side. I would go with a core of the main team and use some of the upcoming youngsters - Dougie Wilson apparently looked after himself well on Saturday? With the remainder of the first team squad on the bench as game changers should we need them (Aluko, Koren etc)
They should spend a bit of time training the Cup team as a seperate side. Maybe have them play short games against a first string? Im glad Dougie got on, he's a nice lad and is one of the better youths. McCaffrey would also warrant a place on the bench in my opinion, he'll win young player of the year. We should be blooding youngsters in games like this, if only to help find them loans.
It all depends on who we sign before then, I reckon Bruce would then give them some game time in the cup!
I believe he was brought up as a striker, although has played in midfield. I havent been to any ressies this season so someone else may be able to confirm.
Should play as few first team regulers as possible. Try the Margettes (sic) kid instead of Cullen to see what he can do.
Prossie, Cairney, McShane\Bruce (if they havent got their first team place back), Simpson, Rosie should all play. I would play Brady and either Meyler or Quinn too, probably Meyler. Jako Rosie McShane Chester Bruce Brady Cairney Meyler Wilson (?) Prossie Simpson My only worry would be if Brady gets snapped, we are light at LWB.
IMO. Same team again Unless Stewart fails the bleep test and the unfit fatty has not improved himself. But yes the same team should be made to do the replay as they have much to put right. Plus they then get round 4 if we win. IMO, none of the main starters shiould even travel to the game. Fill the bench with kids and lets see what they can do in a pressureLess game. I was disapointed that Margets and Clarkson did not get a bench spot saturday. At least they would have put in some effort unlike lazy fatty Stewart. That lad needs SAF hairdryer for sure. Hopefully SB flymo may do the trick. ??
Spot on T.T. Central midfield. But can left midfield. He has one hell of a shot on him. Just needs to aim better thats all. Wilson for Stewart then @ Orient. Stick Stewart on the bench with 6 other kids. Not a chance this team will play. Especially with only 4 days before the Posh away game.
We'll probably play the same team and go out of the Cup, then realise it was a mistake on the Saturday when our first team get beaten AGAIN (though this time probably to-nil) by a very poor *****borough side
Can't see Stewart getting anywhere near a City game again until he pulls his finger out down the gym.
Whacko Rosie Hobbs McShane Brady Wilson Meyler Cairney Quinn Proschwitz Simpson ------------------- Thanks Dawson but your time is up Oli & McKenna - don't want them in the City XI again Stewart - sort yerself out lad - we won't see him again in a City shirt IMO Prossie & Simmo don't compliment each other so have Aluko on bench just in case. Cullen isn't up to it
What are the Ladies team doing? Or perhaps we could sign the whole of North Ferriby before then and play them. Joking aside, i wouldn't risk any of the first team. People will go off on one if they come off injured.
Jakupovic Rosenior McShane Bruce Hobbs Brady Oli Evans Meyler Simpson Proschwitz Subs: A keeper(if not signed then Cracknell, although I'd be worried if we didn't have one by then) Chester, Wilson, Aluko, Dawson, McKenna, Stewart
