They need game time so they can at least put a hint of opposition up against the baggies Grant ( why not) Johnson - needs game time Muni. - can't do any worse Adam - he needs to get fit , we will need him Imbula - let's see him play in a 2 in a game that doesn't really matter in the priorities we currently face Shawcross - Desperatley needs game time Indi - has to play as much as possible Arnie - on the right Bony - if not cup tied another who needs game time . Diouf - try him with Bony Ramadan - if you sign him , play him

Will it matter?
I get the feeling that it won't while Hughes is our manager. These players aren't interested in playing for him anymore.

The situation with Phelan and Hull makes me think they won't field a weakened team, neither should we. Hughes has tended to go for strong Cup selections on the whole, sure he will this week. I'd concentrate on game time for Johnson, Bruno, Imbula and Bony and pick a system which will best suit their strengths. And it'll be handy to give Grant a go in goals. Grant Bardsley Shawcross Bruno Johnson Allen Imbula Adam Muniesa Diouf Bony Bojan instead of Diouf or Bony at some point perhaps. Shame Hull have plenty of experience of the 352, but I'd still give it a go.

They'll put a strong side out regardless due to squad size.
Can Hughes afford not to do likewise and afford another defeat?

Due to our shocking defence (those first two goals Saturday were soft headers), I would play Crouchy, to add some height to the defence ( and would against the baggies and Manu). Let him have a go up front, but make sure to get him back in defence when corners and free kicks arise. I also think Bony would benefit from him playing! Just a thought, mind!

Get some of the u23s on. The least they'll do is show some fight and passion. I quite frankly don't care about this match, just give the fans something to cheer about. We should be planning for West Brom already.

We seem to have signed a lot of youngsters which is great but none have them have made the grade yet. If we throw them in now will this compound the issue or will it give everybody a boost if they do well. Tough call and I'm glad I'm not the manager

Part of me says rest most of the team to stay fresh for the mahoosive game on Saturday; part of me says play our strongest team to try to find some form after our shambolic start to the season.
I lean towards the latter, especially in trying to bed in a settled back four.

It`s a really awkward one this, understand the need for a confidence boost of a win. If we field a strong said and match goes to ET we are gonna come up against a West Brazil side who have had a wholw week off and this will be our 3rd in less than a week. If our players are not at the races Saturday and the capped one starts the Shenanigans he started last season then ....................... I want SC to win every game especially given the importance of the LC in our history and gut wrenching feelig walking out of Anfield after winning in Jan but i think we should forget LC at moment ....

Would like to think so trentvale sadly it didnt in 84/85 and 89/90 and 97/98 relegations had a horrid inevitability about them Hopefully though it WILL turn starting Weds and continuig against West Brazil culminating in a fab first win at OT for 40 years !

I'm coming down from Leeds late afternoon to take my old man to this one, so let's hope it turns on Wednesday.

Go for goals, try and keep shawcross and Bruno together for a settled partnership, bony goal for confidence, clean sheet, ngoy and sobhi impress for involvement at the weekend. 7 changes but still a lineup that will excite, and that's a rarity at the minute. Bojan, Arnie and Diouf to come off the bench if needed.
