I wouldn’t. The team picked should be enough to win, and they will also benefit from the run out. I want to win any cup we're involved with. We've not won a major trophy for a long time. Yes I would take this game super seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it’s all academic when we win 4-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically treating it like a pre season game. Wasted opportunity. Meh, still excited to see some of the youngsters. So not woeful then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've not won a major trophy for a long time. Yes I would take this game super seriously. We're playing a back 4 of Guilbert, Hause, Tuanzebe and Targett, a midfield of Nakamba, Hourihane and our most exciting prospect, along with El Ghazi (who is our top scorer in the PL since we came back up) and our second most exciting prospect. Given who we're up against, that is taking the game quite seriously. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given who we're up against, that is taking the game quite seriously. Exactly. That's a premier league back 4 (probably would struggle but still prem) Nakamba and hourihane are bottom half prem/championship standard. We're expecting Chuk and Bidace to play Premier league football at times. El Ghazi scored double figures in the prem last season. It's a back up team that should easily deal with the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you try to spin it, it's a reserve team, and gives us a greater chance getting knocked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Would have liked to have seen a bit more experience up top, aside from that it’s intriguing. Hopefully the experienced defence will see us through but I think this one could be tight now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Cameron Archer looked decent the only other time he played I think it was against Yeovil where we nicked a 1-0 thanks to Conor. Think it was in our last Championship season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoVillan1983 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Whatever we want to talk about winning cups - commercially there is zero cash in the League Cup… We have a squad - got to rotate and give them a chance to make a case for the first team.
