So we have Newcastle away. Send a second string out for the experience and see if anyone shines. Survival has to be the main aim this season.

Pity though an easy game or 2 against lower division teams would have been good for squad players. Now when did I say that before? I know, about 12 months ago!!! <doh>

Sod's law though isn't it. We could have done with a breather in January which will be a slightly tough month <whistle> without a bloody great trek to Geordie land where we wouldn't fancy our chances at the best of times.

I agree, send the second 11 and leave the other guys home for a rest.
 
I cant believe we have an easy draw again, We seem to have all the luck when it comes to cup matches, I bet we get a home draw in the next round as well...:grin:

Will we have our second 11 back from there loans by then ??
 
Pick our strongest team for the cup game. Unlike last season they only have to play one game per week for most of the season. If the poor little flowers aren't fit or strong enough for that then get some players in who are.

I suspect most of them are getting paid a small fortune every week, make them earn it.
