Could do with the win and the £10k for winning. Can afford to pick a reasonably strong side, including Shipley and whoever they intend to use as cover for McFadz on Saturday. Interesting to see who he picks up front - Kastaneer/Bremang ? (although they looked a bit powder puff against Ipswich u23s the other night)

Is anyone really going to attend this?

Good opportunity to get some minutes into people's legs - I personally would pick quite a stong team and persist with a 3-5-2 formation.
I would give Kasta & Hiwula a go in a front two - O'Hare & Kelly to come on and change game if needed.

Controversial but overall team results seem to have gone downhill since O'Hare stopped being used as impact sub.

Wilson
Mason
Watson
Morgan Williams
Rose
Hyam
Shipley
Westbrooke
Walsh
Kastaneer
Hiwula if not Baka


Subs: Marosi, McCallum, MacFadzean, Kelly, O'Hare, Hiwula/Baka, Bremang

Given our other games in this competition 0-0. Have to have the likes of Bremang and Bapaga given at least some time on the pitch given the injuries/suspensions. Expect to largely see run-outs for reserves/U23's

_______________Wilson
_______Drysdale__Fadz___Williams
Watson________________________Mason
_______Walsh___Eccles___Shipley
_________Bremang____Baka

Subs: Marosi, Dabo, Newton, N'Gandu, J Burroughs, Walters, Kastaneer

I might drop Baka in case of injury, maybe try Kasta up front (not expecting it to be a great success but if we're going to try something this would be the game to do it) and put Bapaga on the bench.

EDIT: Fadz might be suspended

Yeah the next three after this one. Would be very surprised if he didn’t start

Is it the next three or next three league games? I've got no idea what cards count for which competitions etc anymore!

I assume therefore the same is true for Fadz.

This competition stands on its own in terms of suspensions, so the weekends League suspensions do not apply. McFadzean & Biamou will therefore be eligible to play.
I would therefore expect the team to be:

Wilson
Watson Drysdale McFadzean Williams Mason
Eccles Walsh Shipley
Kastaneer Biamou

The way things are going be happy just to get through this with no more injuries or suspensions.

I thought there was some weird rule where Biamou can't play due to red card, but it still didn't count towards the 3 game suspension. Edit: different for yellow cards, so Fadz I think can play, but Max can't ( waits to be corrected!!)

Half of me says play the first team to give them a chance to get a win under their belts and improve confidence. The other half said they’ll still fail to score and it’ll hurt confidence

With our injuries don't you think its stupid playing our first team?? Maybe 1 or 2 put not the full team

Considering most of them seem to come during training by that logic you could argue they shouldn’t be training. I’m not a big believer in avoiding playing someone unless they’ve got a niggle or some other reason to think they’re at risk.
