FA Cup, team selection?

[RM-Taylor]

The new red 3rd Kit to make an appearance ?

Blue and white surely? Orange and black v red is too much of a clash I reckon

Hemed Manu​

Subs: Walton, Calderón, Hughes, Lualua, Baldock, Harper, Towell.

The dreaded Ince-Holla-JFC combination in midfield.

This has never worked for us.

The rest is pretty good, but Calderon could switch to rightback, as he'll be back to the bench now for Rotherham onwards...

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Towell, Ridgewell, KLL, and Baldock should all feature.

Knockaert's international clearance hopefully through for Rotherham.

 

[Worthing exile]

How about?

Mäenpää
Calderon, Goldson, Ridgewell Chicksen
Elvis, Towell, Crofts, Lua Lua
Baldock, Hemed

Subs: Walton, Hunt, Rea, Ince, Forster-Caskey Harper, Akindayini

 

[BensGrandad]

How about?

Mäenpää
Calderon, Goldson, Ridgewell Chicksen
Elvis, Towell, Crofts, Lua Lua
Baldock, Hemed

Subs: Walton, Hunt, Rea, Ince, Forster-Caskey Harper, Akindayini

With the latest news of Lu Lua and Baldock I would go with that line up.

Agree - Towell in place of one of the three in the middle ?

 

[BensGrandad]

Any reports of how Towell is settling in and training. Most of us know what it is like witha new baby assuming the mother is also over here as a family.

 

[The Wookiee]

Wilson and Baldock upfront. Crofts, ince, Towell, lualua midfield, ridgewell, Goldson, Greer, Bruno, defence. Stockdale in goal.

Still think this !

 

[Turkey]

How about?

Mäenpää
Calderon, Goldson, Ridgewell Chicksen
Elvis, Towell, Crofts, Lua Lua
Baldock, Hemed

Subs: Walton, Hunt, Rea, Ince, Forster-Caskey Harper, Akindayini

I think you've probably got the back 5 spot on. Main doubts are whether LuaLua and Baldock are fit to start or whether they'll be eased in from the bench.

Not sure whether Hemed will start or not, suspect it depends on who we plan to start up front at Rotherham.

Also presume Holla will be in the squad. If LuaLua/Baldock not fit to start we'll probably see Crofts right mid again or a 4-3-3 including Ince. At Southend we played 4-4-1-1 with JFC just off the striker.

Ideally a number of first teamers won't even travel because travelling up and back down again isn't ideal in terms of rest before Tuesday.

There is the temptation to try out the Ridgewell-Lua Lua and Bruno-Knockaert partnerships, CH may very well see how they go but maybe with his substitutions.

Knockaert probably won't get the international clearance, which needs to be by lunchtime today.

Yep. Naylor/Club have reported that he's not available for Saturday. Will be available for Rotherham.

[Postman Pat]

Man Utd have refused permission to play Wilson in the FA Cup, not that many would have played him anyway given his recent illness issues.

Hopefully this will mean he will be raring to go on Tuesday.

Might mean that Harper gets promotion to the 1st team squad.

Murphy needs to be rested. Why play Zamora?
