I think we might well start Meyler and I'd rather see Aluko up front. We might as well play Sagbo out wide, he usually ends up there anyway.
We're really short at the back at the minute. Would we throw young Kebbie in? Could we recall Townsend for this game and send him back out while the loan window is still open? Harper Kebbie - Bruce - Faye - Brady Koren - Henderson - Quinn - Boyd Fryatt - Sagbo McGregor, Aluko, Fletcher, Meyler, Davies, CJM, Clark
A mate of mine played against Kebbe on Saturday and said he was ****e. North Cave played City in the local cup and City won 4-1 thanks to a brilliant second half display by Johnny Margetts. He said he was quick, but useless otherwise and he was nowhere near good enough to get in the Cave first team, never mind the City one.
Brucey must start with Aluko to give him some game time, can see him starting and getting 60-70 mins Centre mid Meyler and Quinn for me
Slightly off topic from the squad, but apparently our old friend Jimmy Bullard is doing something for BT Sport in regards to the Brighton game. Jimmy Bullard ‏@1JimmyBullard 1h Looking fwd to doing the @btsport FA Cup game on Monday night. Brighton v @hullcityteam - demanding a new mug on rider #bullardbigpotatoes **** knows what he is on about at the end. Crazy bastard.
No, he's on a season long loan so the only way we could recall him outside a transfer window is if we had a ridiculous injury crisis. (we'd need to be down to about 12 fit players)
I will stick with ^^^^ this. I would have CJM, Henderson and Wilson on the bench along with McGregor - Davies-Livermore & Meyler or Elmo. Peter Taylor could well be doing the Swanny role with Burnsy on monday for those who will not be going. Only from the bench. Surely We need to keep our main players away from possible injury. NB. Is not Townsend injured at the moment ? Got an ankle injury the first week he was back @ Carlisle. Have not seen him in the listings of late. Also Missed Carlisle's 1-0 home win over Bradford on tuesday night.
My team would be Harper Elmo Faye Davies Figueroa Koren Meyler Livermore Brady Sagbo Aluko McGregor Bruce Huddlestone Quinn Boyd Fryatt Henderson
Aye, factor in that 2 of the other quarter finalists will come from sheffweds sheffutd charlton and forest, it's looking decent.
