AntrimBlack Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I cannot believe that a weakened team of non-first teamers losing will have any effect on the first team. Judging by his interview, that suggests that he will use players that have not been playing recently, or at least playing very little. If we are relegated, as seems more likely with each match that the teams around us win, it will be no consolation to me to have had a cup run.

srsmithusa Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 no knock on the confidence of players that watch from the bleachers. I still say rest everybody that started the last 2. Our chance in the league is thin enough without risking it on tired legs or injuries for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I highly doubt Sinclair will be played and put 2M at risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismail-villa Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Think Ayew and Veretout are the two main guys who need resting. They run around so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Id actually rather lose this is normal time. We cant take the risk of fatigue if it goes to ET, and i cant be bothered with a pretty pointless game against man city as another game we have to play as, lets be honest, no one would have us down for a shock. Rest the players, give a few kids/people we want to put in the shop window a go and see what happens. I havent cared less about a game for a while, almost verging on wanting us to lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I would certainly be playing our strikers (Kozak, Gestede, Ayew) - we need them to find some goalscoring form which can hopefully be taken into league games... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree in all likelihood we would lose in the next round anyway - you never know. City may play a weakened team and we may be full of confidence having had a decent run. I also think that we are perhaps on the verge of putting together a sequence of positive results for the first time all season, and while a player who's rested may not personally feel responsible for what would ultimately be a 3rd round shock defeat. losing and winning are both infectious, so a win today would just continue the recent positive vibes around the club. Quite honestly I would be playing our full strength team tonight, other than maybe resting Lescott. Every other player is young enough and fit enough to handle it. If we are 2-0 ahead at half time, bring Ayew and Veretout off for a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villafan306 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'd go with Bunn Richards - Clark - Okore - Richardson Gil - Westwood - Sanchez - Grealish Kozak - Gestede If sinclair doesn't play it is safe to assume there is truth to the Swansea rumours.

flamingsombrero Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Tenner on Wycombe to qualify so nailed on for us now. See you in the next round Citeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 That is certainly a team of players. A pair of routine goals for Ayew would be nice, but this is Villa so I don't expect any victory to come from quality attacking play resulting in a well worked goal.
