or would you experiment and give a few other players a run out?

I'm undecided, I hope we beat Bristol Rovers for personal reasons however:lol:

I'd give a few of the younger lads a chance, like Chris McPhee, Marney, maybe even give Guy Butters a final chance. I'd still try to win the game though, obviously.

If we win the game then there is a chance of making some money in the next round, so go for it, we have a decent break before the QPR match so no excuses for not putting out a decent XI

McPhee will play anyway as Henderson is cup tied.I'd also give Harding a start but we don't want to be too understrength or we'll be embarrassed by a very poor Rovers side.

McPhee should get a good chance in the game. I'd also like to see Hammond given a go in midfield as he looked useful in the few games he's played.

we must play a full strength team.

we want to keep up momentum and bristol rovers will be no mugs - alot better than last year.

plus, we tend to forget we're in div 2 not the premiership. wouldnt it be nice to get a 'big' club in future rounds??

no excuses for an under strength team but with henderson cup tied and a few other places still being contended i think we could see a few changes. mcphee, hart and pethick possibly starting?

Yes,lets win the game might get a decent draw in the next round who knows with a good run might get a trip to the Millenium stadium 3 times this season.3 cup wins and the championship not a bad season.

I'd put out exactly the same team as we did at Oldham, we have almost a weeks break so there really shouldnt be a problem, the only change i'd make would obviously be Henderson out for Hart and Wilson-Denis onto the bench in Harts place.

I would put Kuipers in goal.

I would rest Cullip and Mayo who had pre-season knock/illness.

Pethick in and Butters to take Cullip's sweeper role.

I would keep Oatway in. Although Hart might take his place.

McPhee obviously up front.


Code:
                               Kuipers

                   Pethick     Butters     Hinshelwood
       Watson                                            Jones
                   Carpenter     Oatway     Rodger

                         McPhee     Knight

Hart and Knight up front would not give us enough height. I'd play McPhee.

And maybe try something different at the back. I thought we looked a bit shaky at times yesterday.
 


Yes, lets give the younger ones a chance. We haven't done too well in the past so not hoping for much more this season. If we win (which we should even with the younger players) then field a fully strong team for the next round.

if any team fails to give 100% and play the best possible team they are ripping the fans off and cheating its as simple as that and they should be fined heavily for doing so.

I agree with Turkey - rest Cullip & Mayo. It's a matter of time before we switch to 4-4-2, and that's what I think will happen.

May as well give Kuipers a runout too.

Kuipers
Watson, Pethick, Hinshlewood, Jones
Hart, Chippy, Rodger, Harding
Mcphee, Knight

subs:

Roberts
Oatway
Cullip
Mayo
Marney
