Hope season ticket holders can buy 6 tickets again

No chance unless we've got a 120,000 seater stadium somewhere.

Although we've got Liverpool two days before on the 1st, our next game is a week later. No need to be fully understrength surely, especially against a side like Newcastle.

It best not be!

 

Probably will be. Naturally think changes would be made anyway considering we have a game two days before. Not sure I agree with the scheduling of this season to be honest. The amount of breaks we've had during the year yet we'll play 4 games in the space of 8 days.

Yeah we really need ANOTHER match for players to pick up injuries or suspensions.

Great shout that....

I was thinking about me and my mates getting pissed in Newcastle really. You probably don't understand.

We usually play a respectable team against top opposition. There will be a couple of changes, but nothing as drastic as Burton a couple of years ago or Shrewsbury this season.

I assume you'll see the likes of Knockaert, Albrighton etc... I think it'll be a weakened team that'll lumber to a draw and lose the replay #MagicOfTheCup

  • 3 weeks later...

So, we play the bench and the kids and avoid injury to key players?

 

Which would you prioritise - for me it's the relegation fight.

 

Apologies to the purists!

I just hope we can use this game to figure out what on earth we're going to do without Riyad and Jeff.

Hamer will probably be the only player to play that started today. Struggling for a right back though so I guess one of Simpson or de Laet will have to play.

Hamer

De laet

Moore

Upson

Konchesky

Cambiasso

??? Will king be for?

Albrighton

Lawrence

Knockaert

Ulloa

If there were more days between games I'd play a stronger side. We could do with geting the winning feeling back at home.

Plenty of folk who need a run-out to prove their worth, and the league is very clearly now our priority. I wouldn't begrudge wholesale changes - I want to see Lawrence, Moore, Smith and Wood get gametime, and Hammond to have another run-out, as he was excellent as ever at Anfield today and might be able to muscle his way back to being a regular starter. Maybe give Hopper or Jack Barmby a go off the bench?

 

We don't really have much else in defense, and I thought De Laet was excellent at Left Back today, so I'd expect the same back four with Moore in for Was or Wes, and with the ACON coming up, keep Mahrez and Schlupp in to get the most out of them before they go. I'd rest the rest of the "energy" players for the massive home games coming up - so Nugent and Vardy in particular can make sure their batteries are recharged to go for the jugular against average Villa and Stoke outfits. Likewise, Knocky will get his chance in these coming weeks, so I'd have him on the bench, but not in the first XI, to save his energy.

A win here would be brilliant just to keep morale on the rise. Some of the football played in parts of the last 3 games has been really encouraging! If we keep our chins up and keep performing like we did today then we can make survival happen. A little run of results in the cup to aid such a survival campaign would be a welcome boost too imo.

 

Hamer

 

Simpson Moore Morgan De Laet

 

Knockaert Hammond James Lawrence

 

Nugent Wood

Funny thing is I actually think we will stuff the Geordies 3-0.
