    I can’t see us getting rid of Burke.  Koumetio and Bell have been injury prone historically. Collins and Josh are coming off of injuries.  Kayne is currently injured.  We need defensive cover even if he is not in the match day squad.

    Don’t see us making 11 changes….. we have never done that for a big cup game even deeper into the season when players are tired.

    Can see around 5-7 changes 
    Disagree. Think we’ll make 11 changes in terms of formation and 10 in terms of personnel.

    Won’t risk any of them.

    Brooks

    sichenje
    Burke 
    Bell
    Mesik

    JRC
    Ouma/Mwamba (45 each)
    Knibbs

    Alli
    Apter

    Mbick

    League just too important.

    Wouldn't start Burke at all if it could be helped. 
    Why he not let us down when called upon .. he needs to play 
    I agree he needs to play but to say he’s not let us down is wrong. He has let us down by going down injured early on in games 
    Lot of players have done that … thing Burke is their different which say he unlucky yet now had a good pre season and is looking pretty fit

    Week of the window left Kaminski, Asiimwe, Docherty, Kanu and one of Apter/Knibbs/JRC still need to be moved on and Fullah still needs this loan move sorted still a lot to get done 
    Can’t see Apter ( as NJ already said part of the squad this season ) Knibbs is back up to Carey in the 10 role … JRC would be the only one that don’t seem to have role but NJ used him now in two games ?? ….. think Doc still has a role to play  in certain games like yesterday …?????? What about Ramsey could we cash in on him , to be honest we not missed him ??
  • Do you think we could go back in for fofana?

    Wouldn't have said this at all when he signed his new year deal but wondering if it was perhaps a mistake to keep Godden as his body unfortunately seems to be failing him in the past year and into this season. Hopefully i'm wrong and he plays plenty of games.
    Could also be a blessing in disguise, saved us money we would have spent on a forward to invest in other areas of the pitch. 

    Also creates a pathway for both Leaburn and Mbick to get minutes and progress as players, Leaburn already looking much better than he did last season

    Expecting Apter to head out on loan somewhere but the problem is that there’s absolutely no interest in him at the moment.

    Good lucking selling Ramsay when’s on crutches and injured for 2 months and going into the season with 1 RB is exactly what cost us at LWB Last season. 

    If Docherty still had a part to play in games like yesterday he would been involved yesterday and we need to get rid of a midfielder with far too many options. 

    Who the other one who is let go of Apter Knibbs and JRC is a bit of coin toss at present

    This. Been impressed with Leaburn both games so far and glad to see Mbick getting minutes as well. Glad we've kept both now instead of one of them going out on loan to make room for signing Dykes.

    Godden's role shouldn't be to start games now it's got to be from the bench, no issues with that for one more season.

    JRC and Collins can cover RB, as can our right footed LWB, Campbell and Mesik.

    Collins yes.

    JRC - lets just say I seriously hope thats something I never have to witness.

    In the training video on YouTube from Tuesday you see Godden make a really fast sprint! As he demonstrated last season, he's still got something to offer and still knows where the back of the net is!

    Depends on which club is stupid enough to sign one of them. 
    Apter we might get a few hundred thousand for.
    Knibbs we might get rid of on a free.
    JRC we will have to subsidise his departure by paying most of his wages, and throwing in an invalid walker as part of the deal.

    Not saying he is slow. Just seems to be picking up regular injuries

    Burke played all of 45 mins for the U21s in the week. Are we sure he is fit?

    Yeah, he looked like he could easily have played more. He also made one really athletic run up the touchline. I was terrified he'd do a hammy but he looked comfortable and pretty athletic

    Like others have said, we need to use our squad and maybe give a few players a rest on Wednesday night?

    I’d play Apter/Alli, Knibbs, Mbick, Collins and give a few players a chance to recover in time for Preston
    Yep, can see NJ making at least 5 changes, possibly as many as 7 or 8. Won’t be popular with some fans but I would support him for doing it. Every point we can get in the league will be precious.
    We had this same choice against Chelsea last year. Picked up important injuries and then struggled.
    We will make money from the Spurs game either way so just have a good night, do our best, rest important players for a winnable match at the Valley on Saturday.
