Robles aside I'd rest anyone that didn't start today if at all possible. Whoever we play should have enough to beat them.

Isn't Oviedo injured? I'd play Osman over Besic just to rest him.

[Verbal Kint]

Wouldn't be surprised if Martinez totally changed the starting team for the Dagenham game with Robles the only survivor. Don't normally play guess the manager but here goes.

Robles
Kenny. Jags Holgate. Galloway
Gibson Osman
Lennon Mirallas. Dowell
Kone

Naismith doesn't start because his new club don't want him cup tied and McGeady doesn't because he's crap.

Love seeing young players getting a chance.

Thought he was ready to come back. Could be wrong.

 

[Southern Yankee toffee]

I'd expect jagielka to return. Lennon and kev out wide. Naismith and kone. With besic and gibson.

In short

Robles
Pennington Jags Funes Galloway
Besic Gibson
Lennon Naismith mirallas
Kone

Kone and Naismith might be excellent together, howevever, Osman will be playing this game.

 

[barbour42]

Have an odd feeling Tom Davies might be on the bench and get 10 minutes at the end (if we're well ahead).

Naismith for Osman

Most people going with something very similar, based on

Robles

U21 Jagielka Funes Mori Galloway

???? ????

Lennon ???? Mirallas

Kone​

Not sure who the U21 RB will be. I'd guess Holgate, but based on little evidence.

The midfield three will include Osman. Plus two from Gibson/Naismith/Besic/Barkley/U21.

I'd guess most of the U21 midfield options, in terms of starting, are out on loan. Maybe bench is more realistic.

Ideally we'd rest Barkley (certainly more chance of playing than Barry). Gibson & Naismith must be doubts due to their possible departures. If Gibson out is only a loan, then a start may actually help get him out of the door.

I can understand people resting Besic, but for me he probably needs the games. And if we do have Osman & Gibson, we could probably do with the legs.

I'd play completely second string team. Its D+R FFs, if lennon/galloway/kone/mirallas can't see us through then i am seriously worried for the sqaud.

another point, naismith doesn't play = he is getting sold.
