nor the FAW Premier cup, have we won anything ffs?

Haha! That still going? Bristol City entered that a few times years ago!

Oh, back on topic. COYB. Moist out.

 

[Netromelo]

Can't wait for this. Exciting lineup.

So with that squad it looks like either a 5-2-3 or a 4-3-3 depending on whether or not Heitinga is in defence or midfield.

 

[maccavennie]

wanted us to win this cup to be honest. a cup is a cup end of the day.

we aint been knocked out yet Ste so you can still use the word want instead of wanted. Positive thinking Roberto style!

Crackers line up that. I would have gone with your strongest eleven and then bring on the squad players when the match was won.

We will chase the game now.

Yep think its definately 3 at the back.

More concerned about the change of formation than the personel on the pitch.

Think long term, that's where Martinez wants to take us (back 3) any excuse/chance he gets he switches to it. Still not keen on it myself.

To be fair to that squad, Gibson was one of our most important players since he arrived, with Osman out McCarthy's effectively first team, Naismith wasn't awful against West Ham and Oviedo and Stones looked great in pre-season.

Yeah the midfield ok, i'm more worried about the defence, big game for Stones and Johnny.

You can only chase a game if you go a goal down.

I agree I'd have preferred to see a stronger squad, but to be fair I can't highlight any weak links in there. Maybe Naismith.

Christ we haven't kicked off yet doom and gloom

 

[applecrumble]

COYB 3-0

 

[orchard]

Hope RM hasn't overestimated this team and they're raring to stake their claim with some hard work and some of them thunderbastads like

 

[Kurt.]

Who cares???

It looks like Naismith is going to have a chance playing behind Lukaku going by the teamsheet with Oviedo and Deulofeu on the wings. Should be interesting to see how he goes in his 'preferred position'.
