Gingerpele 0 Posted January 23, 2013 7 days between weekend games, then not playing until Wednesday then another 7 days between QPR and Fulham. No reason why we can''t select the best team possible, let them thrash Luton, don''t risk a replay or loss and give them a bit of confidence going into Spurs game.

Gingerpele 0 Posted January 23, 2013 SuperZqk, obviously that team is better than non league, but it''s a big change, and after all it is the FA cup, where miracle happen. Or something like that.I don''t think playing a strong team is risking I jury. Don''t think Luton will be trying to injure our players. Don''t risk Bassong maybe if he''s not 100% and same for any others, but no reason to assume playing Holt, BJ, Martin, Pilks, Hoolahan, Snod etc will result in any injuries.

I just don''t see that Luton require us to put on the best XI. If Luton knock us out... I won''t care too much when it means we can knuckle down with the league.

Gingerpele 0 Posted January 23, 2013 A loss to Luton would not help league form I don''t think.Example, Villa loss. Oh well, who really cares only league cup? But since that result we''ve only one once in the league. Quite probably a coincidence, and was likely to happen, but still for me. The Villa loss has played a part in our league form since.

Highland Canary 76 Posted January 23, 2013 Dangerous to risk any of the players we may need on Wednesday night against Spurs. Go with U21s. If they win great, lose they get another game. In our current situation, we can''t afford the distraction of the cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highland Canary 76 Posted January 23, 2013 In the Peterborough game we risked players we may need in the PL campaign. The Cup is simply a distraction. If and until we establish ourselves in the PL we should rely on the U21s/fringe players only in the cups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evesham Canary 0 Posted January 24, 2013 TIL - not sure why the "squad" team can win at Posh but will lose at home to Luton? In any event Howson & both Bennett''s started last week. Definitely an opportunity to get Rudd another game and give Surman a game as he gets back to fitness. Wouldn''t risk Bassong or Holt as they are just too important (unless we do have a couple of new strikers definitely joining!). Also if Whitaker will be fit for Spurs then play Rusty in this one. I would play;Rudd, Martin, Tierney, Bennett, Barnett, Fox, Howson, Bennett, Howson, Jackson, KaneHowever, Pilks & Wes didn''t play last week so might get some game time - Pilks on for Surman for the last 25 mins or so.Hope it is a decent game as taking my 6yr old daughter to her first game...

Dr. Ink 0 Posted January 25, 2013 Rudd & Surman both confirmed as playing. Looks like it will very much be a 2nd 11. Luton will be really up for this, I just hope our players are focused on the game and don''t think it will be a formality that we''ll win.Focus lads, focus.

Salopian 1 Posted January 25, 2013 Not sure what actual lineup we shall see, but I hope that it is a serious one. A further round in the Cup is very lucrative. On the other hand we have an important game so soon afterwards, and he will not want to risk normal first choice players too much. I wouldn''t expect Snoddy or Pilks to come on, only if we are chasing a game.The other factor, from the interview with Elliott Bennett, is that the weather has prevented much outside training the past week, so if the game is comfortable CH may want to give players a run out. What I expect CH to do is to give Holt half a game, and Whittaker also, to get them some on-field time The manager has already said that Rudd will play. I think that the midfield you suggest is likely, and is not a bad line at all. If Whittaker is nearly fit, I think he could play in place of Francomb, for at least half the game. Otherwise I agree with SuperZacWhitbread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
