Changes for Cup match

Tav won't play
They said Payero was blowing out of his backside when they did some fitness work with him at Rock Cliff . He won't have trained for ages. Bench at best for him 👍
Payero has been playing competitive football during the last month. He'll start but maybe not last 75

Daniels has signed now, and trained today, so expect him to play

Who is the left back in the U23's Robinson ?
The player we spoke about a few weeks ago was Gitau, wasn't he a right back ??
 
Daniels
Peltier Wood Bamba Bola
Morsy
Payero Tavernier
Spence Coburn Jones

Only one I'd be worried about there is Bola but he does need game time.

Do you even think before you make stuff up? He’s been playing competitive football in the Olympics recently so will have been training.

He's been stuck in a hotel room for 10 days and the report from the Gazette said he was being put through his paces with Hall and Jones and couldn't keep up....
Thanks

Are you sure? The information I saw was that he was training on his own due to him isolating, not that he was stuck in a hotel room doing no training at all.

If you think he's going to go from being match fit to massively unfit and unable to keep up with Grant Hall in the space of 10 days then that's clearly daft.

He was in the little apartments at Rockliffe, they probably gave him an exercise bike and some weights, but there will be little else he could do and it's not quite enough to be at full pace. I think we will see 70 mins from him against Blackpool, probably 30 mins as a sub at the weekend, then he will start a league game after that. shouldn't take him longer than 10 days to get to full match ready
 
Just play our best team. Throwing away the cups every year is the worst kind of thinking.
we throw away the league by playing our best team even if some of the players had muscle injuries.....don't want to do that again thanks. Making the League cup quarter final before being beaten by Man City doesn't improve us, getting to the play offs might.

Nothing to gain from tomorrow night, other than looking at a few fringe players.

Our squad is too small as it for 46 league games let alone additional cup ties etc. Use it for match fitness and maybe have a look at an alternative formation?
 
If the top clubs and UEFA get there way, the League Cup will be scrapped in a few years anyway.

We're not going to win it, and we don't have the squad to fight on 2/3 fronts.
 
So you'd play Ikpeazu? What if he was crocked? We literally have ONE other centre forward at the club and that's Coburn. I mean I know Falcao, Grey, Jovetic and Negredo are all lining up at Rockliffe to sign but in the meantime, you can't risk injuries to main men.
Yep. Play the kids in the league. Focus on the cups. Thank God we used to do that. Without the cups we'd be a pretty s***y boring club to support. In fact we are are pretty s***y boring club to support nowadays.

I'd agree in many respects but this squad is just SO thin that we can't risk injuries. I wish we could play a strong team every game like in the old days but it just doesn't work like that now.
