Time to rest some players and give a run out for a few too.

 

My best guess is:

 

Given

 

Lowton  Okore Clark  Baker

 

Grealish KEA Westwood Cole

 

Gabby  Bent

Yep, a complete change of personnel should be in order. I think cup games like this should be used to give fringe players a chance. Even a shadow team should beating Orient at home.

I'd keep the midfield and backline the same except Cissokho who is injured and I'd give Shay a game.  Up front is where I'd like to see us make changes.  I'd play a diamond with Gabby and Bent up top or play Grealish instead of Gabby and give him a free role behind Bent. 

 

I have a feeling that Lambert might try 3 at the back for this game.

Kinsella???

Why not? It's not like we have any other clear alternative left-backs now. Enda Stevens hasn't even made the squad for the last two matches.

Kinsella ahead of Baker? That will never happen, it seems that Baker is ahead of Clark in Lamberts eyes.

Yes, it was the team I'd like to see, not the one I expect Lambert to pick.

I would like to rest Zog because hes our best attacking player atm, but he still needs match fitness so:

Lowton------------Clark---Okore---Richardson

 

--------------------KEA-----Sanchez--------------

 

Zog---------------Cole-------------Grealish

 

--------------------Bent-----------------------------

Should play a strong XI. A 38 game season and probably a few cup games is hardly going to make them knackered. Rest Vlaar and Guzan, but anyone else should be able to play. I reckon we could get less than 15,000 on Wednesday.

I was booking tickets in the North Stand lower last week and literally the entire stand was available save a couple of seats here and there. That might have changed since then but I don't expect to see many people down there.
