What to do with the fa cup !

Wed Feb 12, 2014 10:00 am

Do we go for it or rest a lot of our players ?

I think we are strong enough to rest them and still go through .

My team for Wigan would be


----------------------Lewis------------------

Fabio -----Hudson------cala-----super kev

----------whittingham---Gunnarsson--------

------Daehli--------Healey --------kimbo----

----------------------berget--------------------

Subs - Marshall , turner , John , cowie , noone , Campbell , mason


A good opportunity to see what cala is like against a decent championship team , Declan John looks like he could do with a small rest until next week .
I think it will be a good time to give daehli his first start as well as Rhys Healey and berget .

Leave the big boys on the bench incase they are needed :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

there a squad players who need game time and should be good enough to win us the game.

Daehli, Berget, eikrem, cala, fabio, even zaha

Yeah I'd toss in all of our new signings - including Jones to get up to fitness

Would still expect a Win when it's all said and done.

Zaha needs more game time, is he cup tied or not.

He was on the bench for Man U against Swansea.

I have no idea whether that makes him ties or not though.

I think if you go with those players you'd switch Berget and Healey. But personally I'd be going for a mixture of; leaving players oput who need a rest/ we can't afford to risk, and giving some players a bit of match time to either asses how they do or to up their match fitness levels.....

------------------Lewis---------------------

Nugget -----Cala -----Hudds ------ Fabio

Zaha------ Gunnars---Eikrem-----Daehli

Bench barring injury: Healey, Wharton, Harris, Nugent, Max Amo

put your strongest side out.

Winning breeds confidence.

Plus they have 7 days to recover for Hull.

I wouldn't be risking Marshall, Caulker or Medel. A game they don't really need to play and could easilly pick up an injury. I wouldn't fancy many of our players to step in and deputise for any of those three if they had a long absence.

Fair enough.....good point.

I hope Wigan see the bigger picture and decide to rest a few given they are nearing the play offs. We are only 180 mins from a wembley appearance.

Sheffield Wed or Charlton at home in the next round please.

-------------Lewis
KTC---Hudson---Cala---John
-------Eikrem----Whits/Cowie/Gunnar
Daehli-----Berget-----Zaha
------------Jones

Bench: Noone, Campbell, Medel, Kim, Marshall, Caulker, Kev

Mixture of first teamers who needs more minutes and Match fitness(Jones, Zaha, KTC), Fringe players who need game time (Eikrem, Daehli, Berget, Cala, Hudson, Lewis) and leave us with genuine strike power from the bench in Campbell and Noone.

Option other than Campbell is Healy on the bench, and Maybe resting Medel all together (although some think he is unfit which I do not buy into, he was all over the pitch again last night)

Jones and zaha need as much game time as poss, they don't look fit! Especially Jones looks fucked after 45 mins can't even attack headers
