Lrrr Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 59 minutes ago, GrahamC said: So that is now Kalas, Nagy & O’Dowda confirmed, with presumably Morrell to come. Can only assume we are ok to go ahead as we must have known this was inevitable. Interestingly Preston have brought their’s forward to this Saturday for that very reason. I think we're just happy to go with what we have and if we go out the so be it. The league cup following rounds are every midweek for the following 3 weeks, if you go out round 1 it actually works as a benefit that you don't get off to a heavy start to the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a double sided coin situation really, I don't expect we'd be terribly annoyed by going out but like you say staying in means game time for a lot of players.

Ignoring the first round and clash with internationals....should we go out, then all we have is Saturday games until Boro on the 20th Oct. I’d want to get minutes into as many players kegs as possible. But I see the other argument too. I’d be amazed if Holden thought losing to Exeter would be ok!

Wouldn’t expect him to be happy, more just that it’s not a worst case scenario. You only get a couple midweeks in October off before the long slog back end of November to mid Jan. if our players are fresher from less midweek games September/early October then we may need to rotate less through that period. It’s a case where both sides of the argument have merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden needs early wins. He seems to have a decent amount of goodwill from supporters but if we make a poor start that'll quickly turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Just to clarify, Senegal aren't playing? How about those who might call up Massengo- clearly he's nowhere near the France senior team but lower levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with playing as many first team as we can. Effectively treat the game as the final pre-season friendly. We may yet have a couple of new faces to blood in as well. We should hopefully have Diedhiou available as well, hopefully still here and I can't find any Senegal fixtures listed on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Massengo now called up by France U20s so will miss the Exeter game as well. If I was Tyreeq Bakinson I would look to stay fit over the next fortnight.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might make more sense having his experience in defence with Vyner and Moore against Exeter (if we don't get a new CB by then) and letting Bakinson play his more natural role in midfield alongside Paterson and Eliasson (if we are going for a similar line-up to the Villa friendly). It never seems right throwing younger players into their big opportunity out of their favoured position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Won't clash with games for us but am I right in the following having been called up? Morrell Nagy O'Dowda Diedhiou I note Kalas wasn't, not fully fit yet I guess, France youth sides or similar don't know if they're playing- certainly nothing for Massengo that I can see.

steviestevieneville Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I know joe hasn’t featured for us yet and got injured on international duty . To be honest though it pisses me off a bit that he’s just got back into training and gets a call up. Some might say ( no oasis jokes please ) that it’s a good thing If he gets minutes . However he’s not really had a pre season and could be liable to breaking down. plus I also hate wales , so I don’t want him to help them against England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
