Do you still have to start with five players who were in the previous match day squad?

I was being flippant definatily as weak a team as possible at this stage and see where we go. For me this trophy should only get out first team if Wembley is in sight so the semi finals. My only caveat to that is if we play Sunderland.That won't happen - we can't afford to throw money away.
There's no way Kelly is going to play and based on us keeping the same formation Baka and Biamou both won't start.Think it will be as follows.
Wilson
McCallum
MacFadzean
Williams
Dabo
O'Hare
Eccles
Kelly
Biamou
Kastaneer
Baka
You really think that 10 and a half months after tearing his ACL for the second time, Jodi Jones will be on the bench?I'd quite like to see Dabo start in this one, bring his confidence back up a bit after the Oxford game as one of our strongest starters. I'd then play a mix of our subs/youth with a couple of first teamers, maybe start O'Hare to add a bit of a lively cat amongst the pigeons. Would be nice to boost confidence of a few with a goal or two. Would be good also to see Biamou start, dependant on fitness/injury maybe even Allen/Jones on the bench to appear for the last ten. Personally I'd have

In truth I'd lost touch with how long it had been and wasnt sure how far away he was from being fitYou really think that 10 and a half months after tearing his ACL for the second time, Jodi Jones will be on the bench?
wouldn't surprise me if he rested KellyThink it will be as follows.

I agree unfortunatelyI don't think we will ever see Jones in any meaningful way. He will be too physically fragile for the rest of his career. I am also unconvinced he is good enough for the top half of L 1.

You never know, he could shake it up babyAt least if/when JJ comes back, he can have a flat pitch to try and twist and turn on. Let's hope it's not a twist followed by a shout!
Hate comments like this - what do you know about it? He has got every chance of recovering from this injury, physically and mentallyI don't think we will ever see Jones in any meaningful way. He will be too physically fragile for the rest of his career. I am also unconvinced he is good enough for the top half of L 1.
