Super Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 What do people think LJ will do with Watford away? Reserve team? Not sure about rules in the competition about playing weakened teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryans Left Peg Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Stick Enoch Showumni up front for a 92nd minute winner. EDIT: May have been Byfield??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Play the kids got to be. Vyner, Kelly, Bakinson etc. Our reserves at the beginning of the seasons are now the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I think we have too - we already have 2 extra games in Jan now - the league cup is a brilliant distraction and will create another Gate sell out but we don’t need a further cup run with our depleted squad.

No one at the club was too disappointed with a 2-1 defeat at Coventry. For you young 'uns, Coventry were in the top division then, just like Watford are now.

Selred Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Got my tickets for this one again. We played the likes of Kelly, Vyner and Hinds last time and they look really good, so more than comfortable doing the same again. Would like to see starts for Bakinson, and potentially Holden. Who do we have back from loan who will be able to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 For £11 I'm more than happy to see likes of Kelly, Vyner, Bakinson etc etc given a go We have nothing to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dihajh Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I’d rather a weakened to play watford while we focus on the league. For £11 people shouldn’t moan and should expect a weakened team due to our position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Lets have Kelly, Bakinson and co starting, and maybe a rest for Bobby? Connor Lemonheigh-Evans was on the bench last night, perhaps LJ considers him to be among the most "ready" of the current crop of U23 strikers. Maybe Gustav will get a game. Max O'Leary too.

hantsred Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Have to laugh at the latest posts on the Watford forum - they sound genuinely scared of us!! http://wfcforums.com/index.php?threads/fa-cup-draw.53795/page-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Missed the League Cup game in the summer so have snapped up a ticket for this one. Totally expect a weaker side given it is sandwiched between Wolves, Villa and then Man City. Would expect Steele to play as well as Vyner, Kelly, and as @ZiderEyed says perhaps Engvall. Really wouldn't be too concerned about the result either, we've already beaten them once this season and have bigger fish to fry really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really can't afford another cup run with the league a priority. If we were stuck in mid table, go for it in the cup, but we need to concentrate on the league.

cidercity1987 Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 2 games to go on Saturday and Monday then give the first team squad a week off. Go on Johnson we won't blame you for a smashing at Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshRobin Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 As much as I would love a good run in the FA Cup this year I wouldn't swap it for promotion, so if we lose, as long as we go down fighting I won't be too bothered. Deep down, I also don't see us getting past Man City, who seem a class above everyone in English football this year, so it's a bit of a cliche but with both cups out the way we can 'concentrate on the league' and hopefully one of those automatic promotion slots ie not one of those we can 'concentrate on the league' when you're just sitting mid table with little prospect of going down or up!

Davefevs Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Out of interest, both Moore and Morrell played for CTFC v Maidstone in Round 1. Hinds was on bench but didn’t play. All 3 were half season loans I believe. Wonder if Moore will provide some cover in second half of season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we get passed Man City, the final is done and dusted in February, so it’s not a huge distraction from the league at the business end of the season. An fa cup run would be a different matter. I’d certainly ring the changes and not lose any sleep bowing out in the 3rd round. i have a sneaky feeling that we will ring the changes and still win though.

LJ was saying after the game yesterday, that some of the regular first team starters are still feeling the Man.Utd game in their legs, we don't need to add to that. Play the squad players & U-23s.

Dano Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 This selection headache, coupled with our recent form, has got me enthusiastic enough to come back to otib after a few years away !! I think we'll rest as many of the players in the starting XI as possible - but with a 'spine' of more experienced pros so we don't lose heavily. Perhaps something like: Steele Viner Flint Magnússon Kelly Eliasson Bakinson Smith Leko Engvall Hinds/Woodrow Not too bad a team actually, hopefully we'll be feeling déjà vu after the match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was fit I could see him playing. Genuinely quite excited to see what Engvall can do, I'd love for him to be a success and prove the legions of doubters wrong.

JamesBCFC Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 **** it, win on Saturday and we will have halved the gap to Wolves in 2 matches, plenty of time to catch them. Let's go for a famous treble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
