I think he has to play anyway while Torp is out really, a midfield pair of Lati - Kelly would be shockingly boring.

Friday we play something like
Wilson
MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Eccles Lati
Sakamoto Ohare Wright
Simms
then using players who didn’t start
Monday
Collins
? ? Binks Dasilva
? Kelly
Taveres Palmer ?

I can’t see Robins throwing in 4 debutants in there, some will have to start both.
I think the point is that this is not the match for starting with youth players, and besides Lusala wouldn't be the right one anyway from what I gather. With young players it's best to introduce them gradually as subs in low pressure circumstances. Notwithstanding the level at which Maidstone play this is not a low pressure match and we have much to lose.Why is he on the bench rather than one of the younger ones, then?
To me that's exactly the kind of thing that gets us in trouble in that game. How would Kelly and Lati help to break down a team who will be parking the bus until they're 2/3-0 down?Enough to get past Maidstone though.
It's not like there aren't any precedents for this sort of thing!To me that's exactly the kind of thing that gets us in trouble in that game. How would Kelly and Lati help to break down a team who will be parking the bus until they're 2/3-0 down?
Exactly. If the second string/reserve players aren’t even able to beat Maidstone, they have no business being at the club.Torp is going to be injured isn’t he?
I’d honestly rather play two youngsters against Maidstone than make Eccles and Sakamoto play twice in four days. We have a huge game against WBA coming up and we need to be at full strength, why turn up the chance to rest players when you’ve been handed the easiest possible FA Cup draw?
They’re in what, the 6th tier?To me that's exactly the kind of thing that gets us in trouble in that game. How would Kelly and Lati help to break down a team who will be parking the bus until they're 2/3-0 down?
Yeh if our club captain (who excelled in Leagues One and Two, was inspirational in us staying up first season and helped drive us into the playoffs end of last) is fit then surely *surely* he's capable of running a midfield against Maidstone!They’re in what, the 6th tier?

That doesn't suddenly mean Kelly and Lati can make defense splitting runs or passes!They’re in what, the 6th tier?
Equal 6th tier and pretty poor in thatThey’re in what, the 6th tier?
I agree but it’s more complex than that though, is he fully match fit and does he have the chemistry with the players around him.Yeh if our club captain (who excelled in Leagues One and Two, was inspirational in us staying up first season and helped drive us into the playoffs end of last) is fit then surely *surely* he's capable of running a midfield against Maidstone!
But let's be honest that's about the level that players who don't make it here tend to end up atThey’re in what, the 6th tier?
Putting my money on Maidstone now. Apparently they can just become better players at the drop of a hat. We’re fucked.

This might be semantics but he wasn't our academy player. He was released by Tottenham at the end of his scholarship and signed pro for us as a development player.And yet he’s the best the academy has to offer. So why have an academy?
You mean when the fixture list caught up with our squad as a whole ?Wish this guy was as good as some people think he is.
Was good when we first swapped to 4 at the back but has been pretty rubbish ever since Leicester.
Really? I don’t think he’s got the quality on the ball for the Premier League. Very fast, relatively good defensively, although prone to letting his man get past far too easily, but technically I’m not seeing it yet. Hopefully something that can be coached into him.You mean when the fixture list caught up with our squad as a whole ?
Milan is one of only two players in the squad who I can see playing on the premier league
He’s fantastic technically.Really? I don’t think he’s got the quality on the ball for the Premier League. Very fast, relatively good defensively, although prone to letting his man get past far too easily, but technically I’m not seeing it yet. Hopefully something that can be coached into him.
I’m not seeing it at the moment. Takes far too many touches when he’s got the ball at his feet and I don’t think his short passing is particularly great overall. Has good moments of link up play with O’Hare and Sakamoto but then there are too many times where he tries to play a quick first time pass and it goes straight to the opposition. Crossing is poor as well. Great athlete and links up with Sakamoto very well but don’t feel like he’s offered much when Sakamoto isn’t there.He’s fantastic technically.
Only issues are mental. Obviously a confidence player and struggles to change a game if it’s not going to plan.
I mean between him and Dasilva the opposition game plan is ready madeHas been below par on far too many occasions recently. Teams are having a field day targeting him in the air. His speed and technical ability make him a valuable player but he still has a lot to learn.
Incredibly harshHas been below par on far too many occasions recently. Teams are having a field day targeting him in the air. His speed and technical ability make him a valuable player but he still has a lot to learn.
Tbf it is pretty obvious Dasilva, when challenged physically, simply isn't good enough. A tidy footballer but I'm not sure what position in.SBT every time a team plays the ball out wide: “THEYRE TARGETING OUR FULL BACK!!!!”
