I'd hate for us to become like Watford and sack a manager just because the last few games have gone not according to plan. It would have to be a long losing run which carries on well into next season before that question should even be pondered.
I'd be wanting to play as strong eleven as possible. Not often Brentford find themselves in a major çup quarter final with a winnable tie. I'd start Toney
I'd only rest Pontus, Bryan,Toney and Norgaard. I think Parker will play a weak side, because he will need his best eleven for the league games otherwise he will be facing the sack. A league cup loss will not factor into that.
