Team for Krasnodar at home...

[helpimonfire]

.....no chance, it's Thursday night and most of them go the Bingo.

Darn I forgot that grrrrrr

 

[Furey1878]

Looking forward to this.

It'll probably be a terrible match, but whatever.

Who is going to take the captain's armband? Pienaar might seem right but he's not the loudest on the pitch - or Alcy or maybe Bry?

 

[JustOpp]

I'm quite relieved Martinez is going this direction tomorrow. It's important, when possible, the club learn what they have in some of these younger players. Significant squad attrition due to age is looming over the next two or three seasons, and it's nice to know we'll start the process of getting answers on potential replacements. Who knows, maybe one or two players will impress to the extent they'll get another look later in the season.

Hoping that this rest for first teamers will see a much better performance on Monday vs QPR. We look like a team playing in May and not December, tired and on our last legs.

 

[streeky]

Barry is old though & could do with a rest.

I don't see what the point is of playing an important player for us in a meaningless game where he could get injured.

I agree with this but looking at the training photos tonight only a few senior players on show but Barry was one of them.

 

[Bert1985]

Personally, i would leave Barry out. He's been very poor since returning from injury. Let him have a good rest till he's next available.

3-1 for a krasnador win, easy money.

 

[bluemangroup]

Sky seem to think Dowell rather than Kenny will start tomorrow. Be interesting.

 

[Del]

No excuses for Monday night now, The first teamers will have had 9 days off between games

We will have a scapegoat, not an excuse.

Won't he ,

Personally, i would leave Barry out. He's been very poor since returning from injury. Let him have a good rest till he's next available.

Won't he miss QPR anyway, so it make sense to include him.

 

[Daniel Mckenna]

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow night. 12 quid for the ticket and get to see kone and Oviedo back, plus a few youngsters. Atsu will be an interesting one, hopefully he will make an impact. Also I hope ledson plays, he seems like one for the future. Nice victory to finish off the group whilst resting all the starting 11 for Monday. I hope I see more from Robles than I have recently, not convinced.

 

[sw blue]

Think it will be Galloway and Ledson.

Robles
Browning
Alcaraz
Galloway
Garbutt
Atsu
Ledson
Oviedo (centre midfield)
Pienaar
McAney
Kone
