Popular Post bovril Posted 1 January Popular Post Share Posted 1 January Looking forward to this. The league campaign is a bit boring, in the best possible way, so a bit of cup jeopardy feels much needed. And I still think losing in the FA Cup 3rd round is one of the worst things in football. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FosseSpark Posted 1 January Share Posted 1 January 7 changes for me. Rest plenty of players but get Casadei, Yunus and Cannon in a groove. Continue Doyles return from injury.

Popular Post Dan LCFC Posted 1 January Popular Post Share Posted 1 January (edited) I think we're that far clear in the league that an FA Cup run wouldn't really knock us off our stride, plus the myth that being in the cup knackers your season is just propaganda spread by managers trying to hide their ineptness. I'd give some others a bit of a run out but Sheffield United made the semis last season and got automatically promoted. Lets get it won.

Twitcher Posted 1 January Share Posted 1 January It's the FA Cup! I'll be disappointed if we don't put out a strong/our strongest eleven. A team that's only ever won it once should not be disrespecting the competition. Besides, Millwall are tricky, especially at home, and a defeat, even if not in the league, still knocks us out of our stride. As someone said above, going out in the 3rd round of the FA Cup is a horrible feeling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone said above, going out in the 3rd round of the FA Cup is a horrible feeling. Even when we were defending champions we never put out anything near our strongest 11 in the 3rd round. It’s pretty common for teams to rotate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry are in form right now so it’s not a game to take lightly. Millwall were dirty bastards at the kp. We rotate in the cup game and leave the strongest for the league.

I don't think we need to go mad on the rotation. Only 4 more games in January. We are are back in game a week territory. I would say only players the definitely need a break are Madividi, Fatawua, Winks, Vestergaard and Faes and maybe Mads. Ricardo and JJ have been well juggled of the Xmas period, KDH had a rest today. Cannon, Casadei and Akgun need game time. Edited 1 January by coolhandfox 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pita Posted 1 January Share Posted 1 January Do we need to go for the cup. League much more important play a weak side and save the first team for the big games which matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted 1 January Share Posted 1 January As has been mentioned, I think it is worth giving a rest to certain people. Namely, Mads, Mavididi, Fatawu, Winks. But can mix that with getting minutes to those who need it and still play a strong side. It's not our priority, of course, but the cushion in the leagues means we can have a good go.
