Kev has to be on the bench, ready to bring him on at the end of the game for the pens.

then we will have to agree to disgree. the more exposure to risk (ie playing full intensity games) the more chance of injury. League is no 1 priority, and given the depth we have see no need to risk the key individuals. for example we need to see what Tebar and Jotal (sp?) can do, why not use this game to find out?
Fulham are in complete turmoil it seems, what a great time to be playing them!
Reserves and development squad for this one. Its only Fulham.
If this was anyone else in the league cup, I'd say I don't mind giving fringe players a run out. But it's Fulham, we need to play to win and put out a strong team. Not to say that we shouldn't change a few players, but we need to keep the spine of the team the same.True but it's what they're paid to do. No issue with playing Tebar, Jota or Toral as they're important members of the squad, just don't want a fully experimental team. Also personally don't see that anyone should be rested/not risked. It's early in the season and a good time to play and beat Fulham.

Barring injruies I'd go with...
Button
Yennaris, Dean, Tarkowski, Bidwell
Douglas
Dallas Tebar Jota Judge
Proschwitz
Leaves us with Gray, Odubajo, Pritchard to be brought on as the 'cavalry' if things aren't going our way!
Wasn't that a couple of weeks ago?Moses is an injury doubt according to Sky sports, back injury.
interesting selection..mix it up a bit. Does Lee not get another chance to show us Dagenham was a one-off blip?Button
Yennaris Tarkowski Dean Bidwell
McCormack Tebar
Odubajo Toral Jota
proshwitz
Subs: Bonham, O'Shaunagassy, Diagouraga, Dallas, Moore, Smith, Hogan

What's he laying?
Surely, he's having a lie in!
I wouldn't rest anyone for this cup game and would look to play our strongest possible eleven, so I'd go for:
I wouldn't start Odubajo at right-back, as he only played there for 20 minutes once Birmingham had stopped attacking, and we need to make sure we have a solid base in defence. He may be a RB option in the future, but I wouldn't start him there tomorrow. Also as well as Moses did, I think Dallas is in better form for the right wing position at the moment.
Certainly. But not against Fulham.Does Lee not get another chance to show us Dagenham was a one-off blip?
Sorry not Logan.
I think that's a little harsh on Odubajo. He defended solidly imho - especially right towards the end when Brum were starting to have a bit of a go back towards the death. In fact I think he was him that nullified those attacks towards the end in a few instances! Dunno whether I'd start him there - but I'd definitely be tempted to see how he does (only if fit obviously).
We have a strong squad use them.
