pete0 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Good thing our ball was picked out first, as our record for being on the other end of giant slayings is quite worrying. Stevenage are not doing to well in League 1, however managed to pip Ipswich in the last round, but shouldn't stifle us as much. Hoping RM will blood a few youngsters in as well as move more towards his own system. ___________Robles _____Stones__Jags__Distin Coleman___Heitinga___Oviedo Deulofeu___Osman_____Pienaar ____________Kone Baines, Barkley and Felli rested, plus Heitinga will need practice at DM. Osman further forward so he can shine and hopefully find some form afterwards. Kone and Robles for match sharpness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) What teams did he pick at Wigan in the league cup (strong or reserves)....anyone know?Think he mostly picked weakened sides because they concentrated on the league. Even against us he made a lot of changes. Edit - I was thinking FA Cup, so disregard this! Edited August 25, 2013 by Romey 1878 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'd put Robles in for Howard, Oviedo in for Baines, Deulofeu in for Mirallas. Maybe give Stones some time as well if Distin needs a rest. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Joel. Coleman, Stones, Distin, Oviedo. Mirallas, Barkley, Fellaini, Deulofeu. Jelavic, Kone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 What teams did he pick at Wigan in the league cup (strong or reserves)....anyone know? Yes.

Dalziel Kane Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Wigan teams for their league cup games under Martinez last season Third round - West Ham 1 Wigan Athletic 4 September 24 2012 El Habsi, Caldwell, Ramis, Stam, Lopez, Figueroa, Jones, McArthur, McManaman, Boselli, Miayachi Subs - Pollitt, Boyce, Watson, Gomez, Fyvie, Kone, Orsula Fourth Round - Wigan 0 Bradford City 0 (AET BCFC win on penalty strikes) October 30 2012 El Habsi, Ramis, Stam, Lopez, Jones, Watson, Gomes, Fyvie, Redmond, McManaman, Boselli Subs - Pollitt, Golobart, Kiernan, Maloney, Beausejour, Kone, Orsula All I want from this game is progression. When is it anyway. Wednesday next week ? Hope Martinez puts out a strong side and goes for the win. None of Moyes previous irritating defensive fucking tentative mindsets and repeats of previous cup embarrassments to lower league opposition. We have never won this competition. Going back to 1961, it's a very poor statistic, but this season - could finally be our year. Think we'll win, but got to give respect to this opposition.

StevO Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Needs to be a strong side out there for me. We've had two draws now, we need to get these lads a win. So minimal changes IMO. ---------------Joel--------------- Coleman jags distin baines ------Heitinga -- Fellaini------ -------------Barkley------------- ------Gerry jelavic Kone----- Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 There's no way Baines will play in this one - or several other starters. ---------------Robles---------------Stones Jags Distin Oviedo------Heitinga -- Osman-------------------Barkley-------------------Naismith Anichebe Vellios----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I think my team would be fairly similar to the ones above... Robles Stones - Jags - Distin (or Alcaraz if he is fit) - Oviedo Heitinga Pienaar - Fellaini Deulofue Vic Naismith I think he will start Kone against Cardiff so probably best to give Vic a run out. Stones and Oviedo should get a chance. Oviedo is the obvious replacement for Baines but Jones it could be for either Coleman or a CB. Hibbert may even start if he is fully fit. Im pretty sure Heitinga will be involved in the place of Osman, but it really does highlight the lack of strength in depth that we have in the middle because I cant think of anyone else who can come in for those positions that havent already started both our previous games. Deulofue should get his chance and its likely to be for Mirallas and Naismith will probably also get run out. Sibdane and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn31 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Put a strong team out, but with Stones or Alcaraz in, Robles and Oviedo as well. Put Vic and/or Kone up top, put Vellios, Garbutt, Lundstram on the bench, and maybe we can give a few of them a half or 30 minutes if we get ahead early. Funny that no one is calling to see Duffy play, appears we've given up hope on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite simply Stones and Oviedo have shown more this preseason. Plus I imagine he will go on loan and wont want to be cup tied.

We didn't pay that much for him to loan him out, and correct me if I'm wrong, but bar Coleman and Barkley who else broke through for us after going on loan? Maybe include Ossie there but even so, it's a short list.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I think Stones will get used in the squad tbh. He has been on the bench for both games and I think Martinez rates him. A lot of good players have been farmed out on loan early on and whilst them two have only come through with us recently its still a very good thing to do. I dont see Duffy being 3rd/4th choice so I think its best he gets games. He might never make it through but he has next to no chance if he doesnt start playing competitive games.

Matt Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 True, but with the amount we paid I'd be very surprised if we do loan him out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn31 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 dont get all this "put a strong team out". Not meaning to disrespect to Stevenage, but seriously, our reserves should be able to take them I don't want to put 11 inexperienced/non-regular players put out there having no chemistry with each other. I've seen too many big teams (including us) put out a weak 11 and get beat. We always complain about never winning a trophy, but we always manage to fuck up the League Cup early against a lower division team. I mean, this is one of only two trophies we can realistically win each year. True, but with the amount we paid I'd be very surprised if we do loan him out I think we only paid 500k for Stones, but with add-ons that can be up to 3m.

Matt Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Only saw the 3m, not the break down. I'm not saying send 11 players out who have never played together. I'd go with ...........................Joel...................... ............Stones...Heits...Alcaraz........... Coleman..............Felli...............Oviedo Deloufeu.............Ossie.............Pienaar ............................Jela...........................

thoward18 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Nice to actually have some depth for once. We can rest key players without fielding a bunch of castoffs and U21's. I imagine Oviedo, Deulofeu, Heitinga, and Stones will all see playing time of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Really don't know why people are putting Alcaraz in to start when he hasn't even made the bench yet.

RM said in yesterday's press conference that Alcaraz will be training with the squad at the end of this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
