Langley saint Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 After a two week break I was expecting a stronger team than that??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 Wow that's not as strong as I assumed it would be but, as we say, it should be enough to see us through. Livramento back and in a more attacking role will be an interesting experiment at least! Walcott and Long. If we diss them do they both get hat-tricks today? 🤘 Good luck to Small. Well I got 5 of the 11 right. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 My word what an interesting team, I hope we haven’t just thrown the FA Cup away with that line up. These lot will be up for it, and equally I’d say it will be very difficult to come back for some if they can’t beat a Championship team. However, I’ll reserve any criticism until the end, only because the post will be digged up later otherwise. Let’s hope this team has built up some chemistry over the fortnight.

Hodgey Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 On paper that looks like 2 average championship sides playing. It’s an unnecessary risk - let’s hope he doesn’t have to make early subs with his strong bench. More so I’m not keen on giving players 3 weeks off - they’ll lose match fitness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWar Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 Should be enough to beat them but if it isn't we have some talent on the bench. With three games in seven days we need to rotate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddeer Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 2 week break, needed to put out a stronger line up than that to get players back up to speed for midweek match. This could backfire but I hope not as I think we have a reasonable chance in the FA Cup with our strongest team. Would have preferred a strong staring eleven, get the game won then make subs but let's see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon_man Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 Looks like Ralph is more worried about getting dragged into a relegation battle. Spurs, Man Utd and Everton will be real tough. That said, I'd have balanced the team across all 4 games rather than throw this game under the bus. IMO should have prioritised this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddeer Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 I'd say 7 of our normal starters have been left on the bench which is a substantial gamble. We should still win but it increases Coventry's chances and will give them a big boost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I’m very surprised to see that many changes. I would say we are only playing 2 of our best 11, JWP and Livramento. That seems unnecessary to me after 2 weeks off, even with a couple of tough away Prem games coming up. How will we line up? Livramento may play further forward? If so, will be interesting to see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coalman Posted 5 February, 2022 Share Posted 5 February, 2022 So often we have full backs on the overlap then we stop and go backwards. We look great when we trust ourselves to stretch play but pedestrian when we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
