BCFCGav Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Amazing win tonight, and as much as I just wanna savour it, it’s got me thinking. Andi has clearly tweaked his back, and all others involved tonight worked ridiculously hard to turn no points into three. Considering this plus our strength in depth, I’d like changes on Sunday to give our ‘A’s’ a bit of a rest. I’d like to see Baker, Kelly, Semenyo and Palmer all start, plus Walsh and Watkins if ready. Hakeeb on the bench maybe. But LJ does indeed know best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 This is a tough one for me. Think we need this distraction but also need to keep minutes rolling for some players. You don’t want to change too much but you want to rest some. FF Wright Webster Baker Kelly Adelakun Pack Morrell Eliasson Palmer Taylor Max, Diedhiou, O’Dowda, Pisano, Brownhill, Paterson, Dasilva Try to get Diedhiou and O’Dowda on for 30 minutes as these are players that, to me, perform better when playing consistently. Taylor probably deserves a start as does Palmer. Keeping Wright, Baker and Kelly sharp in case needed. Morrell been excellent in cup so has to keep going. Adelakun wild card. May not even make bench and could see Semenyo. Idk feel like we see one of those two with Weimann rested(assuming/hoping not too bad). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalcub Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Semenyo cup tied , expect taylor to start though with eisa on the bench id give fammy the day off if it was my choice let him recover a little . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Kelly needs another start, going back to the bench would be a real put down after the performance today, give him a chance to stick in a good performance, if he doesn't have one it could then be chalked up to playing prem opposition. Hopefully see Palmer play a big role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I would go strong Fielding Wright Kalas Baker Dasilva Palmer Pack B’hill Elliason. Diedhiou COD Quarter final to aim at and then only two teams left that I wouldn’t fancy us against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 For me, this cup game is coming at the perfect time. We’ve had a real mentally tough game tonight, and a break from the league is a good thing imho. LJ to evaluate the fatigue from a sports science point of view and go from there. Wright for Pisano - he put in a shift tonight and I worry about him hamstrings Baker for either Kalas or Webster Dasilva in for Kelly Morrell for Brownhill Eliasson for Weimann Taylor for Diedhiou Palmer for Paterson so that’s: Fielding / Wright, CB, Baker, Dasilva / Eliasson, Pack, Morrell, O’Dowda / Palmer / Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Red Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Agree with most re changes. As always we want to win with no injuries and as always only Lj will know the true fitness of players so we will see on Sunday the best possible team for the occasion. We have a run of Sat /Tues league games where the coaching staff really earn their money and I'm glad we fans don't have to make those calls. Such high league stakes now especially at Norwich at Boro. Magic months for City fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 I don't see the point in getting this far and putting out a weakened team. Would expect a few changes but we have no midweek game. Pack and Brownhill have to play that is a no brainer up against Neves and Moutinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Fox Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Wolves will play a strong team as they must fancy their chances of getting to the final. To make wholesale changes as many are suggesting would be a surrender, we don't need that. There is a full week to the next match, so simply dependent on fitness, pick a team to win, and keep the momentum and the buzz going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2nd Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 I think it's important use the whole squad and rotate a few players, I think Taylor and Palmer deserve to start after working so hard coming off the bench of late. Also be good to see Walsh on the bench hopefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Keep the spine of the team. Rotate around the spine if need be, but Fielding, Webster, Kalas, pack, Brownhill and Diedhiou must start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Pack only played a partial game I'd expect him to start certainly with Palmer and maybe also Morrell. I'd definitely play Kelly LB as he needs gametime to play himself back into form and I think he responds to a defensive challenge. Wright and Baker will both play. Decision is who is left out. We could match Wolves and go to 3 at the back which would mean both JDS and LK play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could match Wolves and go to 3 at the back which would mean both JDS and LK play. True, but QPR are quite reactive at times. Vs Wolves, a side who like in certain games to pass it around, to attack certainly in general- or even when counter attacking they do so aggressively, that extra protection is needed. Pack deeper, maybe Brownhill and Palmer as the central 2 in the 4-1-4-1. 3 at the back would be interesting. Wright at RB would actually facilitate that in-game i.e. certain phases we're 3-5-2, other times 4 at the back, ability to interchange even more as we saw in our golden period last season.

Meh Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Presuming we want to win I don’t get anybody wanting to play Kelly on Sunday. He has not featured until last night since he was hauled off at half time after his mistake cost a goal and still looks mentally shot based on a horrendous first half last night. To risk him on Sunday is madness - he will be a bag of nerves from the first minute. Under 23s and confidence build away from the cauldron of the first team else he may get worse - this is a massive time for him mentally and it could break him if not handled properly.

cityexile Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 See I am in a small minority in that I would rest a load of the first team. Wolves have every incentive to go strong. Did not seem it would be the case when we played Huddersfield, but we are now right in the middle of a real play off push. Appreciate there is a week before we play again, but what if we actually had a QF or dare I say a SF? They will be smack bang in the middle of difficult important games, which will then start to get compressed. Fully appreciate it's not often we get the chance of a real cup run, but we can say that about play offs in this league as well. Difficult one, but it is more logical right now for Wolves to go strong rather than us. Never want us to not win, but will not be heart broken by an honourable loss on this one. More than one route to Wembley this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
