Worst case, if we’ve got Collins, Koumetio and Ramsay injured…. Who can play CB on Saturday?

Best of luck to you as well. Although after last year we might see you in the Championship... you never know 😉TBWAH said:Been nice chatting.
Commiserations on the result. Good luck for the rest of the season. Hope to see you in the Prem soon.

So they bring on 80 mill pound striker and a World Cup winner that’s how serious spurs took this game … Shame we could not play our first team think it would have been very different but it was the right decision..….. the boys worked extremely hard without much reward especially the front 4 … Proud of our boys to lose two centre backs in first 20 mins .. was hard enough but up to spurs first goal I think we were very much in it and had the better two chances .. the ref was a disgrace ..10

Looking at the goals, I think Brooks is getting a bit too much grief.
Granted, he could’ve done better for the first, but I can’t see that he had much chance with any of the others. The last one looked at first glance like he could’ve done better, but that deflection off Davies made saving it pretty much impossible.

Not picking your strongest team because you are prioritising a more important and relevant fixture in the long term = not being bothered?Fortune 82nd Minute said:

Our squad was nowhere near good enough, so I doubt our best 11 would have done much better.Croydon said:I expect I will be in the minority but think weve approached this one all wrong. Rest some key/injury prone players by all means, but we've made this a totally pointless exercise.

My Spurs supporting husband thought he was our best player.BigDiddy said:It’s over and thank god.
Very sad about the injuries and could not give a fuck about the cup.
NJ did the right thing to use the squad and if nothing else, we know where we need to get rid/add to the squad.
This game proves that some of our squad is not up to it…

- apter
- docherty
- brooks

Hopefully NJ can do a little more business and ship a few out before the window shuts

I think he could play in the 10 role. He can both run with the ball and pass it. But he will be in the 8 role probably. Instead of either Cov or ChalobahScoham said:
Mainly been a DM or box to box CM when I’ve seen him, but it would be one way to ease him into the team.Dazzler21 said:Mwamba has to be pushing for that 10 slot - can he play there chaps that know more? @Scoham @anyonethatknows
I think he’s really shown why he’s been on the bench ahead of Doc and deserves to continue being in the matchday squad, getting more minutes.2 -
Wasn't expecting much TBHWe have seen that Knibbs, Apter, Doc - not deserving even B TeamGoalie had a tough test - I don't think he saw he Moore goal and Savio is obviously classChanges made a difference and we looked a better team - except Doc R Wing and Apter still on ?0

Think he done very well was playing at Gateshead 12 months ago remember .. first one took a deflection perhaps a taller keeper gets the third but it was right in the corner he can be proudlordromford said:Looking at the goals, I think Brooks is getting a bit too much grief.

Yeah agree, I’d say the downside to him being in the 10 is less space to drive into or pick out those longer passes, and he’s probably not going to be a goal threat like Carey or Knibbs can be.Southbank said:

The constant praise of Asimwe was so weird but they knew so little about us I suspect he was t he only player he could identify!RedRyan said:Positives - Mwamba looks class. Jones keeps his scoring record up. Knibbs vs Carey debate is probably settled. Apter is our saviour posts will now be obsolete. Mesic looked comfortable. The commentator buzzed off Asiimwe (out of all our players!) so much we might be able to get a bit of cash for him.1 -
Considering that was a reserve team and even less in some cases that Jones put out I felt collectively we emerge with great credit. Some good performances and never say die- no matter what the score attitudes -out there make me feel that this will be a good season. I've never enjoyed a consolation goal more either!
Ultimately if we beat Preston no one will really mind this particular foray in North London.
For Nathan Jones a classic case of damned if you do and damned if you don't.15 -

Meh. We simply don’t have the squad depth or quality to compete in the Champ AND a cup run. Best to do as we’ve done and get some good competitive minutes in for the B squad lads and crack on with the season.18

Pointless getting excited anymore about drawing a big team ,to then just play a very weak squad and get knocked out12

But Jones was always going to play the reserves, he always does at this stage. That was always going to happen.Gravesend_Addick said:Not fussed about the result, but feel for the nearly 6,000 Charlton fans who got tickets to the game, only for us to put out our reserves!
Jones gave us one of the best away wins in nearly 20 years at the weekend and all the players were dead on their feet with a huge home game against a struggling team in less than 3 days. He was NEVER going to play our first team.16 -
I get that. But take the emotion out of it and it’s just folly to approach a game like this like that. What’s to gain from it long term by playing a stronger 11?agim said:

We need to have a go on Saturday. NJ said he would rotate the squad for this game after Wetspam match.2
