Urgh! Whatever.

[Begbie]

Go strongish, we've a week before our next league game. Play Quansah, Endo. Harvey and give Bradley as long as he's able to play 

[Swipe]

Don’t think he’ll rest many at all. Some might get dropped. But you’ve an FA cup game after where you can rest whoever you want really. 

[Cobs]

Cup SF - go strong, go there and win big. Kill the tie.

 

play the kids v Accrington

[Gethin]

The defence is the issue here.

Both Trent and Robbo need a rest & you probably don't want to play Ibou for 90 either. 

[Florist Cinema Pond Goal]

Hope Dom is back for this after his performance last time. Front 6 picks itself. 

[Nerik]

Kelleher
Trent Quansah Virg Tsiki 
   Elliot Endo Szobo
Chiesa Jota Nunez

Bring on Konate, Jones and Bradley at some point. Chiesa will definitely need replacing too.

Sub off Trent and bring on Trent. Don't bother taking any other players. And make him drive his own bloody missus.

I know you're taking the piss but Bradley needs at least 30 v Spurs and the start against Accrington to get back sharp again. 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

I half am - agree on Bradley 

[Benzo-13]

Kelleher, Bradley, Quansah, Konate, Tsimikas, Endo, Mac Allister, Elliott, Chiesa, Nunez and Jota.

use everyone else in case of emergency.

I think he might go full strength but rotate the full backs.
 

Maybe rest grav, actually. 
 

Jota will surely start but not counting him as a backup.

spurs have a million injuries so I think we may go a bit easier than otherwise, mind with Accrington on the weekend, that's rest-time

I thought we were playing Forest for a minute and we were all in  Trent

Why bother making the effort to get to the SF?

[Case]

Kelleher.

I’d play Trent and give him Accrington off. Same with Virg. Start Quansah, give Konate minutes if possible. Start Tsimikas, Robbo last 20 if needed.

Grav, Mac A, Szoboszlai if fit, otherwise Elliott. The first 2 not needed v Accrington 

Salah, Jota, Diaz - Gakpo needs a rest. I’d have started Nunez, but Jota needs a start, so maybe Nunez/Chiesa on 60.

Kill the tie in the first leg. Rest players around the Bournemouth/Wolves/City games.

Aye. We’ve got a game against Accrington afterwards. Everyone can rest in that

[Roscoe]

This, is at the moment, is the trophy we are closest to and Arne will want to win a pot in his first season 

[Cheesecake]

Its also one that very few people actually care about, sure its nice to win but if its the only thing we win this season then its hardly a mark of success. There are many first team players currently being played a lot - rest then now or risk knackering them?

There’s a run of games over the next few weeks that give opportunities to play the squad a bit more.
 

We have 9, possibly 10 games over the next 5 weeks but only 4 are in the league.
