….I guarantee we would get beat. The U23 have a poor record when playing open-age football, it really would be suicide. Fans deserve better than submission, particularly those who travel.

Depends whose available but I would go something like this
Lonergan
Kenny Keane Branthwaite Holgate
Townsend Gomes Davies Iwobi
Gordon
Rondon
Subs Begovic Godfrey Digne Doucoure James Simms Gray
Holgate has played LB before in the league cup and although he's out of form Digne needs protecting. I'd rest Allan and Mina altogether due to there injury issues and if Godfrey is suffering fitness issues I'd keep him for Norwich. If Gbamin fit he'd be on the bench but I think he might be kept back.

Even playing the strongest 11 available to us at the moment we will still struggle. I don’t see any justification for further weakening our team in this game. It’s unlikely that we will qualify for Europe through our league position anyway, so, let’s give the cups a lash, we can beat most teams on our day. There’s more chance of qualifying for Europe through the cups than the league for us.

I would not be surprised if the team he may have played Tuesday, may be more the team for saturday due to all the problems we have,

Our next u23s game is tomorrow so will be interesting to see if any players are left out as possible squad fillers for this. Maybe Dobbin although he's gone off the boil.

from the squad players available i would give game time to:
Kenny, Holgate, Davies and Simms (as i can not see Rondon playing this game and Norwich.
Holgate with Kean/Mina. Godfrey to LB.
Davies for Allan

Davies for Allan
And then when we finish 6th they say "what a load of crap, we've qualified for the Europa League"
Might as well not exist because we ain't getting anywhere near 4th any time soon

Do we need to question our training, physios and Sports Science departments? Another season with an extraordinary amount of injuries... Beyond a joke now.
Yes
Except for Richarlison. That was a nasty tackle by a centre half trying to leave one on a player

That tackle didnt touch his knee though.
More likely he's done something in training

Why play a weakened side and risk going out of a cup competition? Go as strong as possible without risking any players with knocks or niggly injuries, need to build momentum after the Villa game, beating QPR and Norwich does that in readiness for Utd.
In the league we will be 7th-12th irrespective of us we rest players for this game, got to be all in for both cups. FA Cup will guaratee Europa League and Carabao Cup should see us in the Europa Conference, you can always improve on that through the league but realistically we aren`t are we so cups should be important.
