Match Day Thread Wrexham v Hull City

Tuesday 19:45
Interesting game

 

Sheep 0-2 Tigers

Longman OG
Windass OG

 

Do we rest anyone
Or full on?

Id like to see ndala start at least
Id rest semi

Hopefully destans ready

Would love to win a cup game for once
Especially against a champ side
Good practice

 

I expect changes, think we could change our full back 4 (providing Coyle is fit and Williams is signed) and not be massively weaker:

Pandur
Drameh
Egan
Famewo
Williams
McCarthy
Lundstram
Palmer
Gelhardt
Joseph
Ndala

 

I'd expect a LOT of changes, no one really cares about this comp anyway do they?

Phillips

Drameh/Williams - Egan - Famewo - Giles/Williams

McCarthy - Gelhardt - Palmer

Tinsdale - McBurnie - Brown

Mins for new signings McBurnie and Gelhardt important, assuming Williams has signed to play either LB or RB and some more opportunities for Tinsdale and McCarthy. As someone mentioned on the Cov thread, interesting that Vaughan didn't even make the bench where McCarthy and Tinsdale had done, so expect those 2 to feature from the start as well as Brown, another opportunity for him to try and impress - one i'm not sure on is Destan - no idea if he's fit or not - would expect to see him get mins off the bench at the very least

 

Good opportunity to get some minutes into McBurnie if he's missed preseason.

I always dream of a bit of a cup run but this season I'm more concerned about the start we get off to in the next league games.

 

Saturday's post-match interview suggested we'd make some changes, and I doubt that means we're starting Gelhardt and McBurnie.

I expect to see quite a young team

 

Serious question, do we even care about the FA cup? I do, but does the owner etc?

If our sole aim is promotion (how likely that is, time will tell) and if money is no problem (it is), then surely this is another needless distraction and potential for injuries.

 

Or even the League Cup?

 

i hope our aim is not promotion

surely any sensible decisions would be, aiming for promotion next

good season this, and strengthen more in the next few transfer windows.. but.. we might be 9th in the league come jan, acun will come and spend £15m probably..

 

Wholesale changes for this one for me

Dillon
Coyle (if fit)
Egan
Famewo (if fit)
Williams
McCarthy
Lundstram
Palmer
Tinsdale
Destan
Brown

 

I should have put aswell. I meant more around caring about either.

 

I agree, we should be building over a season or two.

As you say, any sniff of playoffs and we will go bananas with signings!

 

If we have a sniff of the play offs the squad we have will have got us there.. the Carvahos etc are what got us in the mire...

 

Furlong LB? (Williams RB). Or is Furlong still injured?

 

Except maybe those of us trekking all the way to Wales on a Tuesday night.

 

Hopefully get to see the new players in action. Lundstram needs more minutes so I'd play him and I would like to see Gelhardt in the role Sergej sees for him.

 

Can't see the point in playing a second string - keep the momentum going and get the team gelling together

 

I would be starting McBurnie and Gelhardt. Both need minutes and to build up the understanding.

 

dont think furlong is even in the picture really
