dunsteral Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I think bobby reid is becoming a half tidy player now, and was disappointed he didn,t start yesterday (although with all the players we have signed understanable). He has scored goals in 3 of his recent games, so perhaps he is the goal scoring midfielder we have been looking for. Stick him in against wycombe in a more forward position and give himm the opportunity to score more goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the starting eleven and formation I was surprised Josh Brownhill got the nod as the central player in the forward three behind Kodjia. Reid going to give LJ a decision to make. That's what we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocoPal Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Great opportunity to give the rest of the squad a run out... O'Leary Mattthews / Flint (sub after 45 for Ayling) / Williams / Golborne Odowda (sub after 60 mins for J.Smith) / Reid / Brownhill / Freeman Wilbraham (sub after 45 for Abraham) / Agard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see.. Lucic Matthews, Flint, Magnusson, Bryan O'Dowda, Pack, Reid, Freeman Abraham, Kodjia Would be happy with that team, I'm an advocate of giving the second choice goalkeeper cup games, otherwise their only chance to break through is when an injury or suspension happens, which is not often at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I`m not really fussed what the side is TBH as we have a big enough squad now to put out an 11 where each player could reasonably be described as a first teamer. The only thing I would like to see though is another run out for Hordur and Flinty to further reinforce their understanding of each other`s game. it`s not worth risking anyone who`s got a knock though so I suspect that will rule out GON, LT and Callum O`Dowda. It would be nice if Korey was close enough to fitness to at least be on the bench and get some minutes too but I suspect that`s not the case.

Ohbasso Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'd rest O'Neil, Tomlin and O'Dowda due to the knocks they've taken. 4231 - O'Donnel Matthews Flint Magnusson Golborne Pack Bryan Brownhill Reid Freeman Abraham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 13 hours ago, NeilS said: Always want us to win, but not that fussed about this boring competition, Burton and the league priority, stick the kids in. Utterly disagree with this philosophy. Why enter the thing if we're happy to surrender to lower league teams? Cup runs involve winning matches - they generate confidence, pride and revenue. Not trying in the early rounds suggests arrogance and cynicism. I know which I want to see at the club. Strongest team possible please. Only rest those with a knock.

Exactly, we've no longer got a pathetically small threadbare squad. We can afford a bit of rotation whilst keeping a strong team. Really good chance for the likes of Brownhill, Magnusson and Abraham to get accustomed to playing for us and give Adam Matthews the opportunity for some match fitness.

Nogbad the Bad Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 If Wycombe are no great shakes it's even worse if we lose to them playing a weakened team. Mind you if we sent out a full strength team and lost that would be worse still. LJ needs to rest a few who are carrying knocks from Saturday but ensure whatever 11 he sends out is one he is convinced is strong enough to knock Wycombe out. It's not the end of the world if we don't have a long League Cup run, but we should always aim to progress as far as we can, and surrendering to a L2 club in the 1st round should never be an option. SL has stated he wants Cup runs, and he'll expect his latest manager to deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
