markjazzbassist Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 About a week away so I thought i'd get this started. We'll have 3 matches in 7 days coming up so I expect to see some rotation (west brom, yeovil, stoke). This match in particular should see a lot of youngsters and fringe players get some time so the first teamers can play both of the premier league matches. Hoping for a win and advance, i feel like this cup in particular is written off by a lot of teams since it's so early in the season, i think we should really try and go hard for a deep cup run.

Keith B Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Does this seem incredibly early in the schedule for cup games? I'm probably just forgetting the timing, but it still seems early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Does this seem incredibly early in the schedule for cup games? I'm probably just forgetting the timing, but it still seems early. We usually lose this and then it's the FA cup which doesn't start till the New Year. Last year we won and went to the semis of the league cup, but usually we are out early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWooney Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 plus whenever we've been in Europe we've not had to play this round. I imagine Williams will play on Saturday so maybe more likely to not play in this game than Jags/mori. Hopefully we'll have another recognised striker by then who we can play!

Newty82 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Start the fringe players and those needing a run out. Keep the bulk of the main players first for Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 We have only played 2 games and Koeman has been going on about the players only being 70% fit, so put out a strong side to get more games into them and improve the fitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 I wasn't aware Bolasie hadn't had a preseason to be honest I thought he did. Certainly saw him on the SSN highlights pre-season.

Btay Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'd think that, but Koeman played Davies during preseason. Yeh and I think it only worked with his passing up the channel for Gerry. If anyone plays there it should be Connolly, was immense last game of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 honestly i have no clue on this one. half of me thinks we need fitness just go full strength here and stoke and tell the lads "you're professionals, nut up and you'll be fine". or we have a lot of depth so just put out a reserve side.
