i get the result will largely be irrelevant but from the weekend it looked like we'd never played football together, so treat it like a friendly and play our strongest XI, a win (and goals) for some confidence to kick start the season would be nice

In reality, Oxford should be one of our easier games so should be able to cope

Didn’t we smash Oxford 6-2 in the cup last year? I’d try Binks or Burrows as cdm,both big lads who can head and tackle to win the ball, then give it to Rudoni to create. Move the ball quicker than Sat and give the strikers something to work with. Defend from the centre circle not on the edge of our box.

I don't agree we need to win this going into to Friday's game with 2 defeats will make us very cautious in a game we should start on the front foot.
On your second point try telling Norwich that 1 of the tips for promotion by some and Oxford won at a canter.

I've said we should play our strongest XI and try and win

We beat Oxford 6.2 last season, yes they won last weekend, doesn't change the fact they will do well to stay up

Been wanting it all pre season. Really think 4-4-2 would be great for us. Think we should look to emulate Stuttgard in how they play with through balls and pass and move.

Think people should be careful what they wish for saying we should go out to focus on the league. Imagine if we lost on Tuesday and then again on Friday, morale would be in the toilet and fans raging.

I think he'll go with a fairly strong side, I don't see him playing the likes of Andrews, Howley, Burroughs etc.



Wilson

Lati - Thomas - Kitching - Dasilva

Allen - Eccles - Palmer

Tavares - BTA - Wright

Defo need the game for fringe players and to try and sharpen up whole squad and dull memories of Saturday. If we lose tough shit, we've got to give it a go. I fear some people are getting ready to press the panic stations. It's just 1 game folks and players getting used to each other.

Beats waiting a week to get over the loss to stoke

We can win this cup. Don't tell me after last year's fa cup run that we can't.

We have a bigger squad. I expect a rotated team but one that can actually win. Then maybe we beat a prem b side and next thing we know we're in the business end of the cup. Bring it on! Football is about excitement

I don't , we’ve done plenty of that in the past and then still been mediocre in the league. We have a strong enough squad this year to give the cups a go. Last year the FA cup arguably provided our two most exciting games

I don’t hope we lose - just wouldn’t be bothered if we lose. I’m still convinced the carabao cup should be scrapped

Why would Robins play Wilson ?!?

We know what he can and can’t do. Dovin on the other hand needs more minutes in the relative hurly burly of English football.

‘Full Available Strength’ means the EFL Club must include at least four Qualifying Players in the ten outfield Players named in the starting eleven on the Team Sheet.


Do we need to play 4 players from Saturday?

We had all our fun last season. It was an unbelievable cup run and probably a once in a generation thing. But it's just got to be league, league, league this season.
Those on the bench on Saturday and fringe players like Andrews, Howley, Burroughs and Obikwu all in the squad for me.

It's a difficult one, if we were playing Saturday and not Friday, I'd have played a stronger team, I think he's going to have to make a few changes

Wilson
Boroughs Lati Kitching Dasilva
Eccles Andrews
Palmer
Taveres BTA Wright (off at half time)

If we hadn’t done so well in the cup last season we may have had decent results last 10 games. But, what a run that was.

I think it’ll be penalties tomorrow. If we win, home tie please.

We have to play 4 that played on Sat.
Lati at RB
Thomas CB
Otherwise I'd go with that team, and give Obikwu at least 45 mins

We only started 3 players against AFC Wimbledon last year that started against Leicester - I don't think it applies so early on when there's only been one match

Still don't think I'd trade it.

Wolves and Man United were two of the best days I've ever had following the club.

Mason Clark, Tavares and Kitching need to get 90 mins. And if Howley or Burroughs are not involved you may see them getting a taxi with Collins in the next 2 weeks.
