This has gone too far. That's more or less a full reserve side. LB should realise that no matter what he might think, the FA Cup, and the prospect of a glamorous tie in the 3rd round IS still very important to the fans.
Colour me BLOODY ANGRY.
Why not wait and see if they win first before you start your moan?
There surely could've been some middle ground with the selection.... Rest the likes of Solly, Bauer, Taylor etc. but KAG has never had any injury problems to my knowledge & that bench is a disgrace
Another thing, what message does it give to Ajose, Marshall and Sarr, everyone else gets the weekend off but you have to play with the kids and half fit Clarke and Reeves?
Should be 5 or 6 changes, with those dropping to the bench. Fine give Solly and Ward the week off but do the others really need it?
I would have picked, and expected him to pick some thing like.

Spot on. And why only name 5 subs, one of whom is a kid who hasn't played for over a year?

Exactly if you want to win and rest players surely u change your 11 but put big names on the bench incase u need them.
We go 1-0 down with 30 to play you have noone on your bench, whats the issue with putting Steer, Solly, Pearce, Fosu and KAG on the bench just incase they are needed

Solly has only played one FA Cup game since 2011 though so think there is a guarantee that he'll never be involved
Unless they have injuries we don't know about, i see absolutely no reason why the likes of Fosu, Grant and Taylor couldn't have at least been subs.
He felt the need to play Taylor in a 1st round replay..............but not even put him on the bench for the 2nd round game?
Fosu is the only one not involved that should be!!...
His form has been so shite this season he should be part of the Cup teams along with Marshall and Ajose to kick him up the arse and get into some form!!
Lee Bowyer knows he is judged on League results. Anyone turning up today expecting a stronger team are totally deluded. Doncaster away is my nap today.
Charlton players to a man struggle with fitness ? It a shame but we need a positive result on Tuesday.

Not playing on Tuesday
Tuesday week is the rearranged game against Portsmouth. My mistake.
Just confirmed that LB feels the cup is getting in the way of the league.
Would be great if the youngsters could step up but Doncaster haven't rested too many today and they want revenge for the league defeat.
That line up takes the piss. Fucking annoyed at Bowyer's attitude to this competition, and the total disregard to all of who've paid to watch. If you're going to play a fucking reserve team tell us at the start of the week so can sack the fucking game off.
And all that bollocks about focusing on the league, they're professional athletes. Should be able to manage 90 mins a week ffs

However, I hope we win as much I hoped we would win on Tuesday against Burton.
COYR.
What's the point in getting through, 1 game away from a potential big game...........and then put that side out. Joke.
6-4 we take a 4 nil lead in 20 minutes...
Roland cheering from the stands...

Philips
Dijksteal
BFG
Sarr
Stephenson
Aribo
Lapsie
Clarke
Fosu
Ajose
Grant
And have Taylor, Pearce, Reeves on the bench.

Clarke > Ward
Reeves > Pratley
Are the only differences to the starting eleven
He felt the need to play Taylor in a 1st round replay..............but not even put him on the bench for the 2nd round game?
Would be no different to Southgate avoiding the harder route in the World Cup over the summer
His form has been so shite this season he should be part of the Cup teams along with Marshall and Ajose to kick him up the arse and get into some form!!

But he could of stuck some game changers on the bench at the very least today ffs, annoyed already.
I mean that starting XI with Taylor, Fosu and Aribo on the Judy I would be happy.
That does not ensure a replay
I think Bowyer has misjudged how fans feel about this.
