Really don't care. This season is all about the league. Rest anyone even slightly injured. So probably no Stokes, Jones or McNulty. If we are only allowed 5 changes Id go with:
O'Brien
Grimmer Hyam McDonald DKE
Doyle Kelly
DKE Ponticelli Duck
Biamou
O'Brien
Grimmer Hyam McDonald DKE
Doyle Kelly
DKE Ponticelli Duck

We can play who we want, this is the League Cup not the Checkatrade.
Wolves may not have given us permission to play The Duck in this cup competition?
Possibly. Of not kwame thomas finn reid devon kelly evsns etc
Plenty of options
I hope reod pulls his finger out and realised what fun he could have in league 2 this year
1-1 and lose on Pens.Don't really want to progress in this so we can focus on the league, but I don't want to be hammered and lose confidence
That's the (Checkatrade) Trophy
This is the League Cup. Robins can pick anyone he likes
Concentrate on the League. The only priority for this season is to get automatic promotion.
Forget the cups and play the reserves and kids. Rest the majority of the first team.

Well I'm selfish, I want us to gain automatic promotion and retain the Chekatrade Trophy, would love another day out at Wembley
We have a big squad. Just use it. Even if we lose 3-1 it will be good experience for some of the players like camwell deke finn ponticelli etc
In that case we should pick the Man Utd team.
Pervert. You should seek help, msybe speak to a quack
Not attending as I will be away on holiday but it would be nice to keep winning as long as possible

It would be nice to get a victory and progress, but the league has to be the priority; we have to be promoted this year.
Plus, even if we rest 5/6/7 players, it won't significantly weaken the team.

Our second string isn't bad, especially if everyone was fit.
RCC (Burge)
DKE Pearson Hyam Camwell (Haynes)
Stevenson Shipley
DKE K Thomas/Ponticelli Duck
Biamou
Would probably give last year's first team a run for its money.

Would love to be there but can't get out of a night shift.
We need to rest players when we can. Getting promotion is top priority. And those that hadn't watched football at this level should have seen the difference on Saturday. Players are less skillful. But a lit of them are big units who kick lumps out. Of their opponents. And the refs let much more go. It is going to be a long hard season. Players like Doyle and Beavon can handle it. But for some others it was an eye opener.
There is at least 50 games to go. As long as we put in a decent performance it doesn't matter too much on the result. Losing players through injury does matter.

We all want that my friend but the priority is the League.
As a number have commented, you cannot have both with a limited squad. Rest the key players and keep them fresh for 46 "cup finals" in the league games.
I'm away this week but hoping we win. I'd play a mixture of kids and first teamers. I've stuck a fiver on us to win.
Huh !!
Appreciate we have 2 potential teams but that is not the point we are making.
mowbray may well rest players too. i am looking forward to it. would like to see fringe players myself. just selfishly so i can see how they play lol
