suffolk fox Posted 3 January 2016 Share Posted 3 January 2016 Play the reserves let's rest Vardy, Mahrez, schmeichel, Morgan, Huth, Albrighton, Drinkwater and Kante. Give the youngsters a go if Gray signs for us don't loan him back but let him make his debut.

Donut Posted 3 January 2016 Share Posted 3 January 2016 You have to be pragmatic, and prioritise your competitions. This season, the push for a top 4 place far exceeds an FA Cup run. On that basis, wholesale changes on both sides i imagine with an eye on the league game to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjslcfc Posted 3 January 2016 Share Posted 3 January 2016 As many have said, our current position in the league and the opportunity to break the top four puts the league as a massive priority compared with the FA cup. Give the reserves a run out and see what happens. The game on the 13th is far far more important. Schmeichel De Laet Wasilewski Benalouane Chilwell (if available) Dyer King Drinkwater Gray Okazaki Ulloa Subs: Schwarzer, Kramaric, Vardy, Mahrez, Inler, Morgan, Albrighton (or something like that on the bench) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl the Llama Posted 3 January 2016 Share Posted 3 January 2016 We'll have Chilwell and Lawrence available for this one, won't we? Possibly Gray too. Chuck the youngsters out with a couple of peripheral players and see what they can do: Schwarzer De Laet Wasilewski Benalouane Chilwell Lawrence Inler King Dyer/Gray Okazaki Kramaric Then on Wednesday play (barring anyone playing a blinder on Sunday and retaining their place): Kasper Simpson Wes Huth Fuchs Mahrez Kanté Drinkwater Albrighton Ulloa Vardy Maybe swap Ulloa and Okazaki around, I'm not too fussed there tbh since the difference in their respective impacts on matches seems negligible at the moment.

NewEnglandFox Posted 3 January 2016 Share Posted 3 January 2016 Maybe swap Ulloa and Okazaki around, I'm not too fussed there tbh since the difference in their respective impacts on matches seems negligible at the moment. I like Okazaki in the Cup better. He needs to show he can put himself in the dangerous areas and I think there's a better chance he'll find those spaces in a potentially depleted Spurs side in the cup. We know Ulloa can put himself in the dangerous areas but he can't finish right now. Ulloa just needs goals for confidence and he'll get one if he keeps putting himself out there.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 3 January 2016 Share Posted 3 January 2016 I'm predicting it'll be this: Schwarzer De Laet Wasyl Benalouane Chilwell Dyer Inler King Dodoo Kramaric Okazaki Thoughts? I heard Dyer and Chilwell might not be able to play due to one reason and another. Or maybe they can, I'm not sure. But giving our first XI a break will be very beneficial I reckon. Obviously Gray might start if the deal is secured in time, but I thought he was going back to B'ham on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 3 January 2016 Share Posted 3 January 2016 because he's worse than Schwarzer Debatable, it was a pretty close run thing this time last year and now Schwarzer is ANOTHER year older. I we were to rest Kasper I'd go with Ben but seeing that he hasn't been making the bench I can't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even do that well on loan did he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 3 January 2016 Share Posted 3 January 2016 He hasn't been making the bench because he's a 3rd string goalie. Didn't even do that well on loan did he? Still better than Schwarzer. I genuinely can't believe he's our second choice. Hope we have an eye on a keeper during Jan. It'd be horrific if Schwarzer had to play for an extended run in the league.

theessexfox Posted 3 January 2016 Share Posted 3 January 2016 Maybe we'll have a signing or two to play by then, possibly a Kramaric replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfoxes Posted 3 January 2016 Share Posted 3 January 2016 Two games at Spurs in a few days can see them putting out a second string as they prob want the higher place in the league rather than a cup run and I can see CR swapping things round resting Vardy and Mahrez maybe Kante and Albrighton too! Would like to see Kram given another chance to show CR he has a place in the side and give us an excellent performance again as others say if we sign Gray give him his debut. It will be a totally changed team for the cup game to the league game against Spurs as we have shown in the past V West Ham our second string are good enough to win games against good opponents, so can really see CR sticking to his words regarding when it's time to rest our first team players! Whatever the team it's always a spirited game against Spurs and really looking forward to both cup and league games !! Back to winning ways 1-2 in the cup and 0-1 in the league !!

FoxesFan94 Posted 3 January 2016 Share Posted 3 January 2016 What does Kasper have to do with Hamer and Schwarzer? That when Kasper got injured and we relied on Schwarzer we let in a whole load of goals. Kasper returned to the squad in late February, and we went on our amazing run shortly afterwards. It's no coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji Posted 3 January 2016 Share Posted 3 January 2016 I don't usually say this for a cup game but rest them all. Tough slog of fixtures continues and the players looked tired at times yesterday. Give Kramaric, Inler and Dyer (if allowed) some game time and see how they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
