West Brom away is not more important than a potential FA Cup quarter final FFS

Exactly - people don't seem to realise that this is essentially our biggest game of the season so far. We've not been in the quarter finals for what, 15 years?

Lusala was on loan to a midtable club a level below Maidstone last season. He isn't good enough. People need to understand that the majority of the players in our youth setup right now are just making up the numbers.

That doesn't suddenly mean Kelly and Lati can make defense splitting runs or passes! Preston: Wilson MVE Thomas Kitching Dasilva Lati Eccles Saka O'Hare Wright Simms Maidstone: Collins Lati Binks Kitching Bidwell Kelly Eccles Tavares Palmer Wright Godden Something like that is what I'd do...

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?

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

Let's say we play MVE - Thomas - Kitching - Dasilva on Friday, we can play Lati - Binks - Kitching - Bidwell on Monday. Only one player will have to double up. Kelly can play midfield.

I'd be pretty fucking miffed if some boozed up idiot threw himself on top of me.

It is a non league team but it's also arguably our most important game of the season so far, in terms of what a win would do for us. Lati can play RB for that game.

Probably because the other options are 16/17 and nowhere near ready.

I mean I'm just talking about for our purposes. If they're not championship standard they're not particularly useful to us. Also I doubt Lusala would even get signed by an EFL club if he left us, would probably go to non league.

Well every so often it produces players like Eccles, Wilson, Maddison etc. And to do that you have to have a functional set up/squad which inevitably means keeping on players that really you know won't make it.

There's no replays in the 5th round. You'd take a Maidstone win then?

Lusala is basically a training cone. He went on loan last season to a club even lower down than Maidstone. Just there to make up the numbers.

It should be 5+ tbf. All depends if we can get a goal first half. Ipswich should've had about 4, and they never had the lead so Maidstone never had to step out.

Saka EMC Wright Simms But as has been said, it's a squad game. Wright and Sakamoto are undoubtedly our first choice on the left/right now yet they've only started there together something like twice since the new year. Palmer has played loads of minutes despite not being first choice in any...

In the comments... At least he gave us something to cheer about indeed
