Why's that such an outlandish suggestion? Do you know anything about football?

Is it likely Lampard will play anyone other than Rushworth ? Last season he used the same keeper for both league and cup games.
The thing with the first round of this cup is that it comes so early in the season we can use it as an extra more competitive friendly to get the first team to further understand tactics and instructions and to improve match fitness. Plus it gives a chance of a decent result that can build confidence, whereas losing to a lower league opposition does the exact opposite. Hence why I'd keep the team quite strong.As per always I'm happy to play a second string team in the League Cup, but want full strength teams in the FA Cup, as the importance, prestige and capacity to make money out of both is chalk and cheese.
To me the lower price of admission compensates for those upset at paying to watch an under strength team play. History tells you we are likely to play our squad players so if it bothers you too much don't buy a ticket expecting anymore. At the end of the day though if any our squad members have any pretensions about making it in the Championship, they should still be able to beat a team from a lower division, so it shouldn't be a given that we are definitely going to be knocked out by playing an under strength team. The likelihood is that the opposition will also play a changed team so we will not necessarily be playing Luton's strongest team anyway.
FWIW I would be quite happy for us to play the following and see if they sink or swim:
Wilson
KKH, Perry, Lati if fit (if not Kitching), Bidwell
Rodrigues, Allen, Andrews, Brau
Simms, Bassette (or Obikwu)
Have a strong bench if needed and hopefully they win regardless.

I get that and I have been annoyed we haven't do so in the past.Yes, but it also presents us the best opportunity to blood young players like Perry, Andrews and Obikwu in a competitive match and see how they shape up without it going wrong and costing us points in the league. There is also the chance of having one of our important players injured in what is a relatively unimportant match and competition if we play our strongest team.
I would rather our first team are well rested ahead of the Derby game, rather than risk them getting leggy and losing a game we should win through them having fresher players than us.
I would like to see Rushworth in goal for every minute of every match this season.Clearly neither of us knows what he will do.
All I can say is that, if it was my decision, I would play Wilson to (a) save Rushworth from getting injured in a match which - for me - is of lesser importance and (b) give him a chance of getting a bit of match sharpness in case Rushworth does injure himself.

From what I saw on Saturday he is going to reduce our goals against by 15 ish.
We lose against Hull with Collins or Wilson in goal. There was enough chaos at times which Rushworth calmly and aggressively dealt with.
He was my man of the match.
Wilson will 100% play.
Because its the Milk Cup and most clubs including us always play the second keeper.Why? Literally what is the point?
might as well sell places to fans for a few grand at least that would help the transfer kitty.
Left back in U 21sWho is Batanwi?

WTF are you going on about dickhead.If most clubs jumped off a bridge, would you?
WTF are you going on about dickhead.
Not laughing now !This is closer to what I would go with, but in an ideal world rest Torp as now Sheaf is injured, he has become more important.
Not laughing now !
Oh look wilson in goal.Did your mum never say that if you said all the other kids were doing it? Probably not if you called her a dickhead tbf.
