picking the team for this game isn’t going to be easy

That's right Jack.

Anyone like to have a go?

[The reds]

That's right Jack.

Anyone like to have a go?

I don’t but this team can’t be to weak as I might be disrespectful to Bristol city.
No Sels, Reyna, Ribeiro, Yates and Dominguez though.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Its not about being weak, we literally have no options

Turner
Montiel Niakhate Omabamidele Toffolo
Yates Domiguez
Danilo MGW Elanga
Taiwo

Taiwo gets 60 mins absolute max. After that goodness knows, Osong?
CHO said in his interview he was OK so off the bench.

Very thin choices after that, Is Kouyate back? Is Origi still here?

[Shawoddyred]

I normally prefer the idea of a cup run and to play as strong a team as possible...

However, I think we need to rest awoniyi and elanga at least this time round. We really need them to stay fit as long as possible for our prem survival.

Yates and Dominguez suspended?

[stirred]

Yates and Dominguez are suspended aren’t they? 2 bookings each in the FA Cup.

Were short of midfield & forwards!

[jurgen rober]

Some people have been suggesting Murillo play as a CDM and it may be that this game he has to. Taiwo will have to play and hopefully we will be in a position after around 60-70 mins to replace him with Osong. Elanga and CHO could play half each with Williams playing as a winger and even use Tavares as a winger if needed.

Yep probably gonna have to play Danilo and Kouyate unless we go to a 3 at the back.
And play Danilo and Gibbs White.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

OK scratch my side above then!

So by my reckoning our availble senior midfielders and forwards are limited to:
Kouyate Gibbs White Danilo
Awoniyi Elnaga Hudson-Odoi Origi

Thats it.

Reckon we go back 3 purely on numbers available
Turner
Niakhate Muriilo Omobamidele
Williams Danilo Kouyate Montiel
MGW
Awoniyi

Elanga on 60 mins

[stirred]

3 matches in 6 days? I’d love a cup run but I just don’t want to risk it. We can’t lose Awoniyi or Elanga to injury again. Or Gibbs-White. Injuries can relegate us. Maybe it’s a Monday morning thing but I say play the kids instead.
