DAVE HAS SAID ! STRONG SIDE 4 STOKE, GOOD OR BAD ?

THAT HE WILL PUT A STRONG TEAM OUT FOR THE STOKE GAME , IS THIS GOOD OR BAD ?
I WOULD THINK IT BETTER TO GIVE THE GUYS THAT SIT ON THE BENCH FOR MOST GAME ,A RUN OUT AND KEEP OUR BEST PLAYERS FOR THE PUSH FOR THE PREM. YES THE FA CUP IS BIG BUT, LETS GET TO THE PREM FIRST THEN WORRY ABOUT THE FA CUP.

Boosts confidence if we win, more money to progress to next round.

However promotion is a priority surely so i would put a weakened team out.

Lets hope for no innjuries :D

Good in my opinion. We have to have as strong a side as possible to avoid a proper hammering. If we put out a wekened side, weho would that include anyway? We may have a stronger squad than last season, but we're still not strong enough to put a load of juniors and fringe players out and hope to get away without a proper stuffing

I really hope Koumas and Matthews start. A full game might give them.confidence and offer us something different from the bench in future games. Or they could be crap. :lol:

But worth a try. Nothing to lose.

There are a few players that could do with game time. Quinn again would be good. Matthews needs to play a bit, Burke has fitness issues at the moment. Koumas could do with a good 90 minutes, Blake needs time on the field as well. Chps still carrying a little weight and now he's started scoring again he may go on a run now.

To be honest as we have not got any reserve games this is ideal for Gavin Rae Koumas Mcphail Burke Mathews Quinn Morris Blake and others have a game we have Norwich the week after a much more important game to me...


Holloway has already appologised to to Blackpool supporters stating he will be make 11 changes for the fa cup, I do not blame him

Could he say anything else ?, without the wrath the F.A falling upon him and the club, after all we were recent finalist. The club must be seen to take the competition seriously, it is the F.A 's show piece at the end of the season and the F.A do not want to diminish the competition even more with championship clubs not taken it seriously, anyway on a positive note we could do a double premier football and F.A Cup winners. :D :D :D :D :D :D

I would love to see him give matthews a go in burkes position if burke is still struggling. I really feel he has more potential there than fullback.

Also like to see koumas, wildig and quinn getting game time.

Jones has always played a strong team so nothing new, id make a few changes but not many.

Playing Matthews at fullback would be a disaster against Stoke though, personally I hope he goes with Quinn Gypes Hudson Kev at the back
