Burton Albion (Carabao Cup) A Match Thread

[Rigga]

I don’t want to see any changes at all..

absolutely no need..

we had a ‘training session ‘ last Friday and don’t play again until Sunday.

[L3n9a]

With this being the com game on 5 live, can see their being a stream. 

[Fox96]

Think we should start a fairly strong XI as some have said but I'd rest Vardy, maybe only to the bench.

 

We're not overly strong in terms of strikers and it only takes one dodgy tackle to injure him in a game where he's not as much of a necessity to start. Iheanacho or Perez starting up front should be strong enough.

[Brainy]

So we had PL side in round 2, a Championship side in round 3, a League One side in round 4, anyone fancy Colchester/Crawley in the next round?

 

On the off chance we don't get Man City at home of course

Why?

[Bluearmyfox28]

I would love us to give a debut tonight to one of the young Cm’s either Leshabela or Dewsbury-Hall. I know it won’t happen but have a midfield 3 of Hamza, Leshabela/DH & Praet. Give Ndidi, Youri & Madders all a rest.

[ALC Fox]

Although I do like Fuchs, I do wonder if it's opportunity to see what Justin is like as a left-back (seeing as he's played there before and he's already had a barnstorming debut for us on his preferred side) and then put Mitchell Clark in at right-back.

 

Then we can have Fuchs on the bench as cover if things go awry in one of those areas.

Have a feeling you’re going to be fuming when you see the team sheet

Clark isn’t ready for first team yet imo.

U23s have a game tonight, so if Clark gets a game, it'll be with them.

 

I do agree with wanting to see JJ play though.

This is probably what I'd go with, although possibly playing Albrighton in place of Maddison.

 

Need to keep Marc's eye in.

I get the clamour for Perez up top on his own; but he's started to show some value from wider areas and at some point, I think we'd all like to see Nacho as a real option up front.

 

Got to be worth a try tonight starting Nacho up front (just make sure Vardy is on the bench).

 

Hope we see both Choudhry and Praet start. Would like to see JJ get another start too.

 

U23s play as well though, so lots of players are going to be seeing some sort of action.

That's not a bad shout actually, I really don't want us to give up on Iheanacho yet. With Praet and Hamza the likely two guaranteed CM's, it could be more of a 4-2-3-1 formation tonight and the 3 behind Iheanacho could be Albrighton, Gray and Perez

[Dahnsouff]

Start Gray up front

JJ Evans Benkers Fuchs

Mendy

Subs: Jaku, Simpson, Huth, James, Albrighton, Ulloa, Nugent

 if Benkovic is fit then I hope he starts though over calgqr

plenty of channels around the world showing it. Should be easy to find one.

Come on boys, there's a trophy waiting for us here if we get a spot of luck with the Semi Final draw.

Really? No surprise he lost his job. Should have sent Puel straight to the nuthouse.
