BoroIf we win, what league game does it impact? (Next round)
Sure but teams in the Premier League who are fighting relegation, always seem to throw the cup as well. It seems a lot of teams at both ends of the table don't take it seriously. It annoys me, always has. There is some kind of rule about how many players you can change from the previous fixture I think?
Just seen post above!If we win, what league game does it impact? (Next round)
We are not the minority mate. Most fans want their club to win. Rotation is fine. But there is no need to throw the gameI hope so.I may to be in the minority but I want us to win
Its not throwing, its giving our players a rest.We are not the minority mate. Most fans want their club to win. Rotation is fine. But there is no need to throw the game
With respect, I disagree. They're unlikely to get injured.
4th round scheduled to be the same weekend we are due to play Boro on the Monday night. I never want us to loose a match, but I don't like the idea of having to play such an important game sandwiched between 2 other fixturesnot going to stoke to hope we lose but would equally be disappointed if we don't heavily rotate and give 60-90 minutes to wilson, shepherd, perry, andrews etc.
if we win i hope we still rotate heavily regardless of who we get in the next round even if it is a glamour tie. yes we have in a couple more players but we are not like other clubs that can put out two virtually first team squads
I have a feeling it’s written in the stars that either City or Boro will get through in the cup, which means the league match gets postponed. It’s then rescheduled later in the season and turns into a real “winner-takes-all” game when it comes to promotion.
Really don’t think Shepherd and Perry will be anywhere near starting. Late sub maybenot going to stoke to hope we lose but would equally be disappointed if we don't heavily rotate and give 60-90 minutes to wilson, shepherd, perry, andrews etc.

I do think rest is important, but getting that winning feeling back would be important too.
Wilson
KKH Woolf Kitching Brau
Allen Eccles
Andrews
Esse Wright YMH
That team rests the key men but still gives us a good chance of winning IMO.
I’m assuming he’ll start Simms v Ipswich though. So not really any need to rest Haji.Cant see is not resting Haji. When you consider internationals he’s played more minutes than everyone who isn’t a GK/defender or Grimes.

Maybe. I guess also thinking it might be easier for Wright to nick a goal against a potentially rotated Stoke defence. And less pressure than Leicester. Feel like if he could break his drought it would do a lot for his confidence.Don’t think it’s about the Ipswich or even Leicester game. More the end of the season and how many minutes he’ll have played. I expect Simms to start this. We’ve got three games in a. Week after the cup both will get plenty of minutes across those.
Like I said rotation is fine. Saying okay the kids is different though. We can rotate with minimal use of youth set upIts not throwing, its giving our players a rest.
I wouldnt be starting Simms or Eccles with the lack of depth we have in CM.Like I said rotation is fine. Saying okay the kids is different though. We can rotate with minimal use of youth set up
Wilson
Bidwell or brau
Lati

Andrews for Allen etc is fine by me
But I can't see more than 2-3 youth players in max
That’s today into tomorrow isn’t it? Imagine should be fine on Saturday.Think game looks doubtful..forecast for heavy snow etc for stoke/Staffordshire..
Selected for Sky Monday night?!Boro
yeah, saturday forecasts are cold and wet but no snowThat’s today into tomorrow isn’t it? Imagine should be fine on Saturday.
Why would people assume Frank would jeopardise the two loanees - Who have been brought in to help push us over the promotion line, not enable some sort of cup run.
And have both parent clubs instructed non cup participation anyway?
They're here until the end of the season so it would be pointless, they can't be recalledBy “non cup participation”, do you mean that their clubs wouldn’t want them playing in a cup competition? Why on earth would their parent clubs not want them to play? Surely the point of the loans is to get them playing more football.
If their parent clubs felt that strongly about it, they wouldn’t have approved the deals so quickly.By “non cup participation”, do you mean that their clubs wouldn’t want them playing in a cup competition?

People are being ridiculous about this cup game. Stoke aren't sending out a squad of hitmen to decimate us ffs.Why would people assume Frank would jeopardise the two loanees - Who have been brought in to help push us over the promotion line, not enable some sort of cup run.
