We must not under estimate Rochdale. +1 Only in our application. Even with a weakened side if we have the right attitude we should win

A weakened side contains two England internationals, a Champions League winner, a German international and a Spanish U-21 international. Plus a myriad of other less impressive shit!

Butland Bardsley Wolly Muni Wilson (we have no one elsem Huth will be banned by then I'd imagine) Cameron Adam Walters Ireland Arnie Crouch For me. A few changes for players that need games but still a team that should win. Adam needs games at another club for me, he was abysmal in his last cup outing.

He was and I'd forgotten about Sidwell tbh (I always do) he can play instead.

We nearly came unstuck against a conference side by being complacent, these are in the play off places in League one, a strong side in front of the TV cameras please. That had nothing to do with the side we put out though. That side I think had 9 full internationals in it. We just played really, really badly. It happens. 9 full internationals (not current ones though) who nearly came unstuck against a conference side, and they looked like they had been thrown together that morning, I wouldnt chance it again.

The defence were fine and the defence that would play is the one that got a win away at a Premier League side yesterday. The midfield two are both experienced pros. And the 4 attacking players is what we'd happily start with in a Premier League game. The players need games, other players need a rest. This is the time for it.

It's not as if they have been playing week in, week out, quite a few have been out for a few weeks with injury and had rests, some don't play the full matches and miss matches, and they are in Dubai this week, they get massaged and pampered over, it's not as if they are playing midweek the last two weeks.

Half the squad are walking wounded! Wilson is having injections, Bardsley's been injured all season, Muni is carrying a knock, Walters is carrying a knock, Ireland has been ill for a few week, Shawcross is injured, Pieters is injured, Sidwell's coming back from injury (hence he needs the game), Adam's just unfit, Bojan is coming back from injury and playing to an intensity that he's not used to and Moses is coming back and is fragile. We need to be careful. We need to use the squad.

Butland
Bardsley - Wolly - Ryan - Muni
Sidwell - N'Zonzi
Walters - Ireland - Moses
Crouch
Bench Sorro, Cameron, Pieters/Adam, Palacios (has to appear in the squad now n then), Shenton, Bojan, Arnie
We need a strong back 4, N'Zonzi, Walters and Moses in this game IMO, give's Wolly and Ryan an extra game to build understanding before QPR at home

The roadworks around Manchester ( M60 ) are fooking horrendous and with it being rush hour and the traffic leaving Manchester give yourselves plenty of time
You've been warned

I just don't see Rochdale causing us any problems. I think we will comfortably ease through 3-0.
