Having agreed all along with you on this Dave I’m having second thoughts depending in their medical stats of course I’d go full strength i hope we don’t get too carried away with an eye on top 6 and forsake the FA Cup Good chance if a real run these days , some real feelgood .....and importantly , decent ££££ to be had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was changed I think to stop players deliberately getting a fifth booking or whatever in the game before a league cup game so they would miss that. As an aside, how long would it take a G*s player to serve a three match FA Cup ban now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(We aren’t gonna be involved in a relegation battle) Honest answer ..... not a clue mate ...:. So .... yes All logic , looking at us , and those above us , and their squads and in Sheff Utds case their whole ethos and spirit , I can’t see it But I don’t think this division is as strong this season , or different , no real outstanding sides... lots of clubs messy , or under pressure ....... With one or two signings who hit the ground running and contribute , and one or two including FD going hot .... I wouldn’t bet against....( put it that way Id say we have a better chance of a run in the cup , I’d look to beat Udders , see what the draw brings and review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ said in a pre match presser a few games ago he thought da Silva had the technic to play in midfield and COD has played there for ROI and LJ mentioned he can play there. My point really was to give pack and josh a complete rest . We paid for it last year with some of them burnt out . This is a chance to give them a few days rest. We only do Cup runs every 25 years or so anyway so that’s us done for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Fair enough @BobBobSuperBob. I guess there’s a view that says play them until they genuinely need a rest.

Thinking of finance as much as anything A 4th or 5th round game Against one of the big 5 would be worth having and is playing a full strength side in Sat going to wreck our play off hopes ? id see the biggest issue it being it coming after the Xmas fixtures and I anticipate he will rest a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of games in a short space of time and brownhill and pack have had to play every minute due to Walsh and smith being injured . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Said on another thread that I’d like to see us go for this one. No problem with resting one or two who are deemed to really need it, but it’s a great chance to progress and then see where it takes us. Cup run did us no harm first half of last season, quite the opposite, and maybe a cup run now could have the same effect in this half of this season.

Probably only MP , JB and maybe JP that should be considered resting - the rest are either playing in lesser energetic positions or havnt been playing continually and FD started late and hasn’t been ever present If we had a tough ask , full strength or not , my thinking would be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenred Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 6 minutes ago, ScottishRed said: Bear in mind until we got to the QF rotation played a big part in the teams selected in the earlier rounds. Indeed they were. I guess I’d counter that by the fact that the League Cup was midweek with games either side whereas in the FA Cup you generally get a decent break in between games, barring replays. Certainly do with this one anyway with a full weeks break before Bolton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Rest a couple, but not many. Let's be honest, this season is going to be a midtable at best one. A cup run will be good. Is Fielding fit enough to play? Must be a reason O'Leary has been on the bench recently over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchay Red Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Watched the highlights v Burnley on MOTD last night. They don't look very impressive, but are a physical team and we certainly don't want to pick up any more injuries to key players. I'd be happy for us to give a run out for some of our subs and squad players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 They have lost 8 matches in a row and are bottom of the Premier League. Survival in the league must be a priority for them so I’m sure they will field a team with very few regular first team players. A good match for City to try two or three finge players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they may also view it as a game to get some confidence back into the club and put out a strong team. Either way, it's winnable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 No doubt players will be rested; I just hope that City pick a good team who attack and go for the throat. I'm looking forward to this match and don't want it spoiled by too many players being rested, or the game not having any intensity / passion. Despite Huddersfield's terrible form in the league, this will be a tough game, as surely the Terriers will be hoping a good performance can restore even a small degree of confidence. Despite this, I fancy City to win 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercidered Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I think Huddersfield are away to the Baadiff in the next game after away to us. If ever there was a game we should win then Saturday is it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow&Blue&Red Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I LOVE the FA Cup. We've got to treat it with respect and pick a strong team. a. It's very winnable (this game - not the whole thing!) b. I'm paying to watch! c. A second cup run in 2 years would help with recruitment. ('They're really building something special down there in Bristol' etc etc). d. This is the second most important competition of the year. We shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket.

Eliasson Taylor ... Eisa * If fit O'Leary has been the one on the bench lately so give him the game and send Frankie with the 23's on the Monday. Would give Brownhill and Pack 45 minutes each. Question of whether Eisa may go with the 23's on Monday if he's not out on loan. I get the logic but genuinely don't think that side has the experience and quality to beat Huddersfield (even with them resting some key players) LJ will follow type - he will field a very strong starting 11 as this game is more than winnable. Also, we know he loves the media limelight on these occasions, swinging ball boys around, fist pumping and quoting from his book of cliches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
