osmark86 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Rest Elphick because of his head injury and play Toner or Okore in his place. Give Amavi a game for his fitness, but if he isn't fit I'd probably give Bennett a shot. Take Gestede out of the team and give Adama or Grealish a start. Take Bacuna out and give Tish a start so he has a chance to gel more. Keep the rest as is. If the game goes our way, get Green in and give some of our other youngsters a shot. I agree with the sentiment that we have to win this one for our confidence. This is such a winnable game too so there's really no reason not to go for it as the positive effects it would provide is something we need right now. Let's make this a goalfest! 0-4 (Scoremack hattrick ^^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always blows my mind when people do that! I get the logic, but I'd always put our score first and I suspect most people do. I accept that's not your problem!

PieFacE Posted August 8, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2016 I would honestly play a close to under 21 team for this game. Think getting knocked out might do us a favour. Just play the kids and see how far they can go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skills Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 anyone know how McCormack pulled up after the Wednesday game? seemed to clutch at his hammy after missing the one on one and was shortly replaced by Grealish... would not involve him if hes not right obviously. hopefully amavi can get some game time, give okore a run and rest elphick... Gollini bacuna baker okore amavi Tsh Westwood Green Grealish Ayew Gestede (really need to replace him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Wouldn't mind Grealish, Green & Hepburn-Murphy to get an extended run out with an Amavi appearance if he's right to go. If Richards isn't going to get shipped out, I wouldn't be totally opposed to giving him some time at RB if it means no Hutton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Ideal fixture at this moment, shame we won't have any other new players to throw in there, however surely we will see Amavi in, and maybe a cheeky cameo by Traore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgetaway Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Wouldnt have McCormack or Elphik near this one. Get McCormack on the training ground and get him fit for the league. Couldnt care less about this competition, but we need to start winning games, its been a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwishIwasalivein1982 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 We won't hear the end of it if we lose this one but it's important to get 3 points on saturday so I'd rest the key players. Don't want to see us field an U21 squad though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn1982 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Go as strong as we can. If people are fully fit play them. We need a win. We need confidence. I'd still make changes but only to improve the team. If Amavi is fit start him. Get Ayew up front play Grealish. Give Adama minutes if he's 100% fit start him aswell. Id go gollini lyden Elphick baker Amavi Gardner Westwood Tish Adama Ayew Grealish i think McCormack is still getting his fitness so I'd save him for Saturday.
