Sounds from Holden's interview he's planning on playing the starting 11 for Saturday so wouldn't be surprised if it's a media blackout to avoid giving away too much to our opposition? Or is that just thinking too much into it as if Exeter watch any of our last 5 games of last year they'll get a very good idea of how we are going to play under Holden even if we are going to be without the internationals.....

Plus with a minimum of 8 players unavailable on Saturday you would have to be pretty stupid not to be able to work out at least 9 of our starting XI (further injuries & signings notwithstanding) & that we have committed to a variant of 3-5-2. If it is “in house” we will presumably have to be playing against our U21 side because we don’t have enough players left to have 2 senior teams of our own.

Davefevs Posted September 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 So what do we reckon? Bentley Hunt / Vyner Moore Rowe / Dasilva Weimann Bakinson Paterson Wells Diedhiou Bit of experience around Bakinson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah roughly that with Rowe replaced by new signing vs Exeter, making him a CM back up as well as LWB and LCB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t bring anyone in (if we do then I think Rowe might play in CM) I reckon so, as the only other option is to ask Palmer to play in that role instead of Bakinson, a far more experienced player & also a way of getting him into the side. Beyond those you have named I can only think of O’Leary, Palmer, Eliasson, Semenyo & Szmodics (if he is still here) so the likes of Pring, Adelakun & Morton could all potentially be subs.

Seems to me that whatever is said you'll come back with similar stuff. I'll agree to disagree with you and leave it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scare_Man Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 I wonder how much priority we will put into this and the other cups this season? With a condensed fixture list and extra pressure on the playing squad I wonder if we might play a good chunk of the U23s and not care if we go out at this stage or will the club be hoping to go on cup runs and gain the additional plaudits and income that will hopefully come from this? I read that the FA cup rewards have been halved this year so those clubs lower down the pyramid that need a decent run to help them keep afloat will struggle that bit more sadly.

It is true, I think they should only have been cut to 50% from say round 4 onwards, that would have offered some income protection for the 'smaller' clubs that get that far.

While I agree with the sentiment SM, given Holden will be aware of the supports ambivilance to his appointment, I would suggest he would want to get off to a decent start. Personally, I wouldn’t be too bothered if we didn’t win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 4 reds in 628 before he joined us, showing this season to be particularly bad. His red against Forest was the epitome of unprofessionalism, and something you'd be annoyed to see from a player 10 years younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, probably down to frustration about what what was happening around him. Can't defend it, but it was definitely out of character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
