Think Simms has to start. He’s played less than the other two anyway, is younger, and needs every chance to put a goal away right now.

I'd definitely play him at some point, replacing Godden. Maybe give him a half.

Godden has played almost as much as Wright and is 32. I think he’d benefit more from the rest and Simms from the game time personally.

Bang on full speed. No reason not to try to win the whole darn Cup. Excepting reality, of course.

Middlesbrough are in the semis of the league cup so why not?

Some favourable draws on the way, best team they’ve faced is Huddersfield!

Hudders won the FA Cup and top league title100 years ago, show proper respects. Or else no one will respect us in the year 2087

I was planning on popping my clogs in 2086 just to avoid that.

It would be a complete waste to risk losing this game. To get through it may gain us a tie against a prem team which would show us a lot about then our best 11.

The team that started against Swansea at home apart from Wright should be good enough to get through.

Maybe but I think we’ll start with11

Awful is strong wording… if Brighton have spent £5m on him I highly doubt he is ‘awful’… he’s just not ready for this level. Perhaps playing him against a League One opponent might be his level and help his confidence

We should take it seriously, you never know what a good run could lead to and it would be stupid to lose our unbeaten run right now by playing a weak side.

Boring question - is it pay on the gate for this?

Answered my own question - yes, it is pay on the gate!

Morale's already high, cup win could do wonders. Beating Stoke then taking 7k to MK Dons in the L2 season must have galvanised the team.

Just checked and the attendance for the Stoke game was only 14k (albeit still double what we usually got). Seems a world away now.

Really enjoyed that Stoke game, proper cup tie, we were 4th Division and they were a Prem side, amazing in a short space of time we now regularly finish above them in the league

It wasn t that long ago that Birmingham were the more powerful club too but I think things have turned around there too.

Help from anyone! If I want to print an Oxford ticket off at home, where does that option show? Every other time I've tried, it ends up getting posted, and I want to order/print later today. Cheers in advance!

Not neccessarily the best example for those wanting us to put our strongest team out, given their current injury situation.

Given our squad looks much stronger this year I'm all for resting up most of our regulars following the intense run of games we've just had. We should still have enough to beat a League 1 side who have a number of injured players missing themselves.

I'd be happy to start with:
Wilson
Latibeaudiere McFadzean Binks Dasilva
Kelly (or Ayari) Palmer Allen
Simms Godden Tavares

This is what I'd play as well. Get players much needed game time in the current formation and hopefully enough quality to still win the game

Awful is not strong wording, it’s an accurate description of his contribution here. Brighton can cock up in the transfer market like anyone else. He’s supposedly a Swedish international and he’s not ready for this level at 20 years old? Send him back to the seaside, please.

It wasn't long ago that we were probably the worst of all the Midlands' teams....now i'd say we're top 3.

He’s played a lot anyway. I’d rest him until Leicester regardless.

Think some for players who’ve not played much will get game time in this one but stick with 4-3-3 formation

Wilson
Da Silva. LB
Fadz. CB
Binks. CB
Latz. RB
Kelly. CM
Eccles. CM
Allen. CM
Palmer. ATT
Godden. ATT
Simms. ATT

would be my stab at start xi

Why is everyone picking Lats ? He's been involved in at least 30 games this season. Including internationals when the rest of the squad get a break.

Eccles and Godden too

Similarly I’d have no issue playing O’Hare as he’s finding full match fitness

McFadz in a back 4 might not be pretty and I remember the days he used to get exposed by league 1 teams for pace. He became a ball playing lynchpin in a back 3 but to play a rusty McFadz in that role to me is not fair on him.
