GET THE JOB DONE

As David Moyes is left to ponder his team selection for tomorrow night's FA Cup game i think he should start his best available XI. He can then make changes when the game is out of reach as we remember what happened when we played Leeds in the Capital One Cup

 

[GrandOldTeam]

It's a tough one pal, because you've got to give some of the lads a chance at some point.

I think the likes of Garbutt, Barkley, Forrester, Vellios should all be given some time.

[Will merge this with the match thread]

 

[bluejock]

I'd maybe make one or two changes. Good game to leave Jelavic on the bench and start with Vellios and Anichebe up top. Possibly rest Baines for Oviedo as well. Nothing too drastic though.

 

[Blue Truth]

you would think garbutt would definitely get a go

 

[Christiffa25]

you would think garbutt would definitely get a go

He's injured mate.

I think against Leeds it was maybe 1 change too many (Jnr)

Getting the balance right is key maybe 2 or 3 changes. Then 3 youngsters coming off the bench once the job is done.

Howard
Coleman Duffy heitinga baines
Hitz osman
Naismith Fellaini Oveido
Anichebe

Mucha jags Neville Barkley pienaar vellios jelavic

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Yeah, cause we played 1 young player and lost to a championship side we should definitely not do the same against a League 2 side cause thats definitely the only reason we lost to Leeds.

We'd never ever play a strong team but be completly gash and lose to lower league opposition. Nope, only ever happens when we play 1 young player.

 

[Caveo]

Idealy would like to be 2 or 3 up at halftime in this so to be able to rest players for Swansea on saturday....wont happen tho will it -_-

 

[CheltBlue]

Sudely Arms is probably the closest on the way to the ground from the town centre, pretty decent prices, will be busy. Fox and Hound not open anymore. The Hewlett Arms is not far from where the Fox and Hound used to be, about 10 mins walk from the ground, nicer place depends what youre looking for. The club bar under the ground is open from 5, website says its open to both sets of fans? Saw Garbutt play last season, could see a bit of Baines in his technique but he does go a bit quiet, would be good to see him in the blue shirt though!

 

[Del]

Players like Baines,Fellaini,Jelavic,Jags and Osman need resting IMO

Give Barkley,Oviedo,Duffy,Vellios and Gueye a run out

 

[ijjysmith]

If ever the Duffy's, Barkley's etc... We're gonna start surely it's this game.

Barkley was playing well at a higher level than Cheltenham so I'll be very fuming if he's not in this game.

Think my line up would be:

Howard
Coleman (if fit)
Duffy
Distin
Oviedo
Osman
Fellaini
Neville
Barkley
Vellios
Anichebe

Something like that.

 

[Del]

Howard
Coleman
Duffy
Heitinga
Oveido
Naismith
Ze German
Osman
Gueye
Barkley
Vellios

 

[toffeemax]

Played a second string team against Leeds and see how that treated us. I'd go same team as Newcastle game maybe with coleman coming in for jonny.

 

[Roztitute]

We'll have to play a strong side but rest some big guns, we'll rage if we add Baines or Felli to our injury list. Get Barkley and Duffy on for sure. Perhaps get the likes of Kennedy on if we're cruising.

Yep, like the look of this. Rest Baines, Pienaar and Jelavic if possible. Obviously, the ideal scenario is we get 3-0 ahead and are able to rest as many big guns as possible for as long as possible but let's be real, Cheltenham will be having a right go at us and if we don't start well we're in for a long night. 2-1 win and get it over and done with and I'd have few complaints.

 

[TheFinnFan]

I would play the reserves in this one
