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

if he's in the team who's gonna pick up the cones at the end of the warm up ? ;)

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?

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.

Reserves and development squad for this one. Its only Fulham.


the development squad were dire when they played in the last pre-season friendly and lost 4-0 and we swore that we would never watch a reserve team again. Brentford have got the pricing wrong at 20quid for the capital cup. Was it ten quid fora seat last year, I recollect? I think three of four of them will get a run out like O'Shaug. and Reeves if he is still here to put them in the shop window for a l1 or l2 club

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.

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!

I'd be happy with that. With the form Dallas is in it'd be good to have him starting this game and that team should dispatch Fulham easily enough. Give them a taste of what's to come in November :sorted:

Moses is an injury doubt according to Sky sports, back injury.
 

Team V Fulham

one things for sure, they won't need to water the pitch !
 

Team V Fulham

I wouldn't rest anyone for this cup game and would look to play our strongest possible eleven, so I'd go for:


---------------------Button

McCormack--Tarkowski---Dean-----Bidwell

---------------------Douglas
---------------Tebar----Pritchard
-Dallas---------------------------------Judge

----------------------Gray


Subs: Lee/Bonham, O'Shaughnessy, Odubajo, Jota, Smith, Proschwitz, Yennaris (if not fit then Reeves)


Warburton keeps referring to "taking better care of the ball" in the centre of the park as one of our key areas for improvement, so I'd bring in Tebar to give us a bit more patience and control in midfield. He also needs game-time to acclimatise to our style and the level of football, and IMO he'll be a very good player for us once he's up to speed. If needed, we can bring on Odubajo or Jota in the second half to go more attacking. I think Jota should be eased into the side with some substitute appearances.

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.

I'd go with Gray over Hogan (probably still not fully fit) and Proschwitz, as I think his pace could cause problems and unsettle a Fulham defence who could be prone to becoming nervy due to their recent form.

interesting selection..mix it up a bit. Does Lee not get another chance to show us Dagenham was a one-off blip?

We need a first team turnout. Please don't revert to the team that played Osasuna, we know what happened to them

I think Warbs should play a first team but I bet he plays the players that didn't start on Saturday which will be great to see Tebars class. Will Parker play for Fulham- unlikelybut a win would do our confidence good and we should field a strong team and leave the reserves to the Development league. Our new team needs to play together .
 

Team V Fulham

Pritchard having a lay in today (according to his twitter) , so either they don't need to meet up until later on in the day or he's having a day off.
 

Team V Fulham

What's he laying?

Surely, he's having a lie in!
 

Team V Fulham

our strongest team please......a win over THEM is all thats important tonight.....MW, i hope youre listening ;)
 

Team V Fulham

We should play a strong team, but I could understand if we wanted to give at least 2 of the Spaniards a start, also Yennaris if fit, and possibly Proschwitz. Others (Hogan?) could feature from the bench

Warbs said he would make some changes but that it " would not be a weakened team"
My guess is that we will see 2 or 3 changes plus Dean for Craig.

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).

Hope we pick a really strong side. But after Saturday's exertions i think Judge and Pritch may be rested to the bench. Maybe Dougie too.
 

Team V Fulham

I think Gray might need a rest after Saturday, he looked knackered at the end.
 

Team V Fulham

I think warns will rest a few and also give squad players a game.

I would play nick against a young team with a lack of confidence.
 

Team V Fulham

I'd love it if they gave Trotta a run out. I bet Dean would be rubbing his hands together for that little encounter.

Edit - Toral for Judgey who is probably exhausted

Only need to make a few changes in my opinion. Nothing to weaken the team.

Repeat performance for me. Earning a definite starting spot imho.
