When did we last reach the Fourth Round of this competition... Surely it was the year we went on to make the Quarters?0
-
This would anger me but in reality it's probably a better team than we've been playing recently.6
-
It's not like he's gonna play a team of under 18's.
Though i fear for us even more if he has to rest solly and plays charles cook.0 -
Have we actually got anyone else to bring in?3
-
Team that Palace played against Shrewsbury was very second too... (Bold players came on in that match)
Hennessey ... Ward ... Mariappa ... Hangeland ... Kelly ... Zaha ... Chung-Yong ... Jedinak ... Ledley ... Bamford ... Gayle
Bench: Mutch ... Murray ... N'Diaye Sourare ... McCarthy ... Dann ... Puncheon ... Kaikai
Now that squad only beat Shrewsbury thanks to a normal time penalty... Surely we can do better as a Championship club, just depends how strong a side either Manager puts out because of the significance of the match0 -
Pardont said in his post Spurs match interview that they had just Iost two on the bounce irrespective of who the opposition were and they needed to get back to winning ways ASAP..........hmmm what this Wednesday you mean? With even more reason for him to beat us, he might not weaken his team as much as we would like.1
-
Surely he won't rest players for a game against our local rivals? We should be fielding the strongest possible team and go all out to beat them!
What better way to reignite our season than a win against the Nigels.4 -
Our squad is paper thin already so who is he expecting to bring in?
It will be a very bad idea to chuck the youngsters in for this one.2 -
I really can't see much benefit in resting players1
-
Watt has to start, can imagine this is the type of game he would be up for.15

Jacko will definitely start.10

Do not play the first team, a 5-o thrashing will further undermine team moral. This squad was never going to beat a Premeirship side and now need this like a hole in the head.1
-
We're 6 weeks into the season, the first team do not need a rest surely. Play strongest team least give it a go down there.15

Pope
Solly - Sarr - Diarra - Fox
Gudmundsson - Jackson - Cousins - McAleny
Watt - Kennedy1 -
I think the team he will play against Palace.
Pope
Cousins, Baeur, Sarr, Bergdich
Gudmundsson, Jackson, Ba, Mc Aleny
Watt, Ahearne- Grant2 -
Mitov
Barnes Yao Konsai Edwards
Bone Charles-cook Lapsie
Lookman Umerah Hanlan
You win nothing with kids ?
Sorry just remembered it's a night match ?
Pass their bed time.3 -
Expect Jackson will start and would like to see Ahearne-Grant given a run up front with Watts0
-
This is why I'm not going. We'll get spanked with our first team, let alone the reserves. I'll take the cup seriously when Charlton do.5

The ups and downs of following CAFC
Before the International break,
every one and their Auntie wanted to go;
could have sold 5K after general sale, no Problem.
Now we could have more returns than Andy Murray made in his historic
3 matches for GB against the Aussies.5 -
Is McAleny eligible to play? With a 2 month loan, players aren't normally allowed to play in cups by their parent club, especially if they have a chance of making its first team?0
-
"Jacko will definitely start."
The man who Luzon doesn't trust to play even at home to the weaker Championship teams playing against a right up for it Premier League side fighting for their PL positions. They could run rings around him in CM with Jacko's lack of match fitness. As much as I love Jacko I'm not so sure on this one, not that we have much better options.0 -
Imagine that defence up against Bamford, Gayle, Bolasie, Zaha.... be a nail in Luzon's coffin.colin1961 said:Been saying this for days if people think we are going to send a first team to Palace then think again ... The team leave for Cardiff Friday lunchtime which leaves 24 hours to deal with any Knocks
Pope
Charles Cook
Sarr
Lennon
Bergdick
Cousins
Jackson
Ba

Absolutely mental to play a weekend side - getting smashed by Palace reserves will destroy what fragile confidence remains and I can't imagine fatigue is really a justifiable reason for a game that's just round the corner.3
-
Well there's a dichotomy: resting players from the first team AND using the game as the perfect opportunity to recover form....
Is he sure?2 -
I'm already of a mindset that I'm praying for a narrow defeat rather than a humiliation.
Pessimist maybe, but it's not as if we will go out and play with Curbs-like caution.
Couldn't have come at a worse time0 -
We cant rest too many players as we don't have too many others to come in.
I would imagine Solly & Diarra being rested - with either Charles Cook coming in for Solly or Cousins going back there. Sarr coming in for Diarra. Berdich will play, either on the left wing or to replace Fox.
Only non-first team regulars likely to be Charles Cook, Lennon, Kennedy & Mcaney (if allowed or not cup-tied)0 -
we are going to lose this match (as much as it pains me). I'd much rather rest some of our players and concentrate on the league. But that still won't stop it hurt losing to that lot.
Mitov
RB - no idea (might have to be cousins so we can keep scoreline down)
Sarr
Diarra (only to rest Bauer and to try and get Sarr up to speed)
Lennon
Kennedy
Jackson
Ba
JBG
Ahearne-Grant
McAleny
Line up based on not making it too easy and that I wouldn't rest everyone but I think a mix is wise. Either way this is going to be painful.
But if we win with our reserves, let the abuse commence lol.0 -
