It would just be first team mixed with some fringe players. Plus he’s still learning the team along with instilling his style and tactics so would be trying things with the main players. If he wanted to win a trophy so bad then why did he rest players against Man United in the league cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a different strategy to the league game but the players didn’t step up. It didn’t work, his second game, he’s learning about the core 18 or so players of his squad. I expect no change in the near future but he thinks between his tactics and the individuals he chooses there is enough to win a game. Horses for courses and all that, just who we think is the best XI may not always be the right players he needs for his tactics for the game. He’s already said he wants to win a trophy as a priority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) The youngsters left at the club after the others have gone out on loan are fringe players anyway, Feeney, Bogarde, and Tommi O'Reilly, if we get a draw against lower league opposition all them will have a chance of getting game time, and it shouldn't affect our chances as all three have shown they're good enough against lower league opposition.

John Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I want the sort of easy run that sees the likes of Citeh, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newton Heath cruise to the later rounds/final. Boreham Wood away to start and then the lowest ranked club in the draw at home until the semi-final, when we meet the plucky team from the Championship that have defied all expectations to get there (someone like Hull would do). Then someone that we would start as favourites against in the final. I think we are owed that, as we have been waiting to lift this trophy for an 8th time, since I was in my cot and that has been a very, very long time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m bored of playing Man U….I prefer the risk and reward of the Blose game. Yeah we could lose but the chances are slim whereas we always bow out to the Manc scum. There’s no reward to beating Blues. It’s the only acceptable result. And I don’t want to even think about having to go to S . A d ew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know their fans would cause issues at our ground but would love to spank them 5-0 or something. it would be a cup final for them. they're unlikely to go down this season so they would give absolutely everything to beat us. it should be a straightforward win for us, but why chance it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An easy gloating time for a week. You guys are all boring Love the Blose derby after growing up in mixed Blose Villa family, friends and colleagues all during my younger years and still some now. I love the extra excitement of the derby as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
