Interesting to see who NA goes with, my guess is he will want to give Boruc some match practice as he won't have had a pre-season.

 

Boruc

 

Richardson

Seaborne

Stephens (if Hooiveld not fit)

Shaw

 

Guly

Jwp

Chaplow

Cork

Mayuka

 

Jrod

Posted

1,Davis/Borac

 

2.Richardson/ Butterworth

 

3, Shaw

 

4. Chaplow

 

5. Richardson/Stephens

 

6. Seaborne

 

7, De Ridder

 

8. Cork

 

9 Rodrigues

 

10. Guly

 

11. Lee

 

Half reasonable Championship side but strong enough to beat Weds?

SDR is the forgotten man, but quite simply, he's not up to it which is why he's not been involved.

 

Would expect Cork to be on the bench, and get a 30min or so run out. Would expect the likes of Rodriguez, Mayuka, Seaborne etc to get starts.

It seems we have reverted from the 4-5-1 that we started the season with and moved to a move 4-4-1-1 v Villa so wouldn't be surprised to see us stick with that and get some more practice with it.

 

Expecting something along the lines of...

 

                     Boruc



Butterfield    Stephens     Seaborne      Shaw



               Cork        JWP


Chaplow                                 Mayuka


                    Guly



                  Rodriguez

Shaw deffo needs to play i would also start JWP Chappers Cork Mayuka Lee Rodriquez let them get some playing time i actually like the league cup its a winnable trophy as loads of teams don't take it serious unless they make the QFs, however this season its about staying up and i would rather use this game as match practise for them lads, as i know the ones i have mentioned can play a big part in the prem for us.

Thought that was Ryan Dickson...

I'd like to see a 4-3-3 akin to what we've been using, but:

 

Davis (our new cup game goalie?)

 

Butters

Stephens

Seaborne

Shaw

 

Chappers

JWP

Cork (or Chambers/Reeves if Cork isn't fit.)

 

Mayuka

JRod

Lee (or Goolies if Lee isn't fit.)

Posted
Is Lee fit?

 

The club have been very quiet on Lee. HE IS INJURED! He came through Southampton airport with his father (returning from NICE) just over a week ago with his right arm in plaster. How bad the arm/wrist injury is i have no idea but thats why he hasnt featured since the international break.

Posted

Boruc

 

Butterfield

Hooiveld (if fit)

Stephens

Fox

 

Cork

JWP

 

Mayuka

Guly

Chaplow

 

Rodriguez

 

5 all Prem ties in this round, and 2 Prem teams already out so there is a genuine chance of having a run in this competition. Lets beat Sheff Weds and then draw the winner of the Bradford v Burton tie at home in the 4th Round!

He knows it too. His tweets yesterday basically said so. good luck lads. I think that Friday!

Think we'll put out a much stronger team than that, wouldn't be at all surprised if it's not practically the first team.

I would give Gazzaniga another game to keep building his confidence personally.

 

Aren't Stephens and Shaw away for 2 weeks with England Under 19's - read that somewhere?

Stephens and Chambers.

 

Apparently they called for Shaw and Ward-Prowse but we refused as we have no obligation to release players outside of an international break.

I would let Gazzaniga have another game personally but letting Boruc get some match practice could help him.

 

Team:

 

----------------- Rodriguez ------------------

 

Mayuka ----------------------------- Do Prado

 

----------------- Chaplow --------------------

 

------- Ward-Prowse ------- Cork -------------

 

 

Shaw ------ Fonte ----- Seaborne -- Richardson

This game won't have a particularly high intensity. For them it's a distraction from a punishing league campaign and for us it's mainly a chance to flex the squad's muscles. Our players are unlikely to get overly exhausted or pick up silly injuries. I'd use this to run in the new players and give a few fringe players a chance to impress. I don't see the point in playing squad players purely for the sake of it. The likes of Chaplow and De Ridder aren't in our plans and if nobody wants them, we'll probably release them at the end of their contracts. Wednesday are a Championship side and I wouldn't feel comfortable putting out a side that we wouldn't have felt comfortable with in the league last season. We need to take it seriously to make sure of progressing.

Would like to see this v Wednesday

 

If this was a Championship game vs Sheffield Wednesday, would you be happy with that defence? Okay to play something like that vs Stevenage in the previous round, but I think we'd need to put out a stronger back four against Sheffield Wednesday.

 

In any case, Jack Stephens is with the England under 19 squad and isn't available.

I'd put Hooiveld in if he weren't injured, and I wouldnt start with players who we want to start on Saturday ie richardson, clyne, yoshi and is this cup hugely important? Focus more on league and Fa cup when it comes around

Posted
I think I'd play Fonte and Yoshida again. The more they play together, the better their understanding.

 

Hmmmm, simply too valuable to risk both right now.

Posted

Might be a bit soon to play Boruc if he hasn't been playing at all this season - would prefer to give KD a game. No point in chucking the game away and alienating the fans against Boruc (Saints fans fickle?....never...) if his game is a bit rusty. I'd be worried about playing either of Fonte and Yoshida if Jos isn't going to be fit for Saturday. Maybe stick with Seabourne but not sure about the other CB - maybe Butterfield or Cork? I think we are a bit stretched for defensive cover at the moment. Who are the regulars for the U21's? Midfield and upfront we have plenty of options. I'll be surprised if more than 2 or 3 of Saturdays game start the match, but that we'll have some experience on the bench. It's not that I think Wednesday will be an easy game (even though their start to the season has not been much better than ours), it's just that number one priority is Premier League at this stage.

Posted (edited)

Play Kelvin. Give him a chance to respond to Saturday. I think Boruc will be on the bench. It has never been Adkins style to shove a player straight into the starting line up unless absolutely necessary. Boruc will be on the bench maybe?

 

And play Rodreguez as well in a proper centre forward position. Starting to worry he won't get a chance in a game (in his actual position).

There might be some clues tonight as the development squad are playing spurs at staplewood so anyone who plays in that won't feature.

 

Wonder if Dave Jones will get a good reception ?

 

Any news on ticket sales ? We'll be lucky to get more than 10k I think.

I think you need to check the rule book as to how many players can play sunshine.

Keepers benefit from game time. Might help to sharpen him up a bit apart from saturday he has only played one game this season. I doubt he is knackered apart from pulling the ball out of the net once he didn't have much to do on saturday. Boruc has only been here 2 miniutes might be to early to throw him in and Kelvin could do a job but it might be better to get Gazza match sharp.

If keepers benefit from, game time.. Surely it makes sense to give boruc the start

Possibly but we don't tend to throw our new signings straight in Nigel seems to like to intergrate them into the team over a couple of weeks unless injuries force him to do otherwise. So I'm guessing Boruc won't go straight into the side and Gazza will be prefered to kelvin over the next couple of weeks ....just a guess though

Posted

Ah my bad, It was early !! :blush:

 

Would start Gazza as I think he'll benefit from match time, and he didn't have to do a lot on Saturday. Take out Chaplow out that 12, and you have the team for me.

 

Gazza

I reckon saintgarrett is close although butters is likely to play rb. I also think reeves will play lb in either this game or for the ressies today.
