A real tricky fixture for us given our current form. They will really be up for this as there’s a good chance of an upset. MON won’t want to risk too many first teamers but injuries will force his hand. It’s a game he can’t really afford to lose

MON won’t want to risk too many first teamers but injuries will force his hand. It’s a game he can’t really afford to lose Every team should be 'up for it' Would play a complete second string. We can't afford any more injuries and a chance to give a few fringe players a run out.

Don’t know a great deal about the younger lads, but surely there’s a few ready to have a crack at this game.. fancy going watch it if he plays some of the youngsters even if they were to lose

Do we have the players to beat 2nd. Division L.Orient? We have the better players, but the O's have the better team, so it will be a major upset if they don't win.

Interesting to see what he does. I want to see wholesale changes tbh. But I can see him now wanting this lot getting some confidence. And there’s not much we can actually change at the back and midfield really with injuries. Taylor and Forrester are both cup tied if they did come back (and injured). Did Sparrow play in the FA Cup for Telford? He’d be about the best central midfielder to bring in now Porter is out on loan (and I think might be cup tied too). Team I’d like to see: Bonham Smith Bathh Wilmot Fox Sparrow Allen DWP Ince Doughty Brown Tezgel on the bench. Surridge in the sea. You want to play Ince as a central attacking midfielder? Brings back very unhappy memories of Jones playing him there with zero impact - and Paul Ince phoning in to say Jones was ruining his son.

Wholeheartedly agree. Would have loved to have seen Porter in this if it wasn’t for his loan. Porter looked way off when he played in the League Cup. That was several months ago. We're clutching at straws so can we afford to do without him? We'll have to because he's away on loan and cuptied, but we should recall him for the next league game.

I think he should play his strongest possible side(if he has one) and make them prove they have the bollocks. It’s not like they’ve been over worked recently!

Powell has proved himself over the course of time except when he's been injured. Ince has never proven himself at Stoke except in short bouts at the end of matches when he's come on as sub and scored - a supersub if you like. I suppose you can justify putting him in there because it's a cup game where we are the underdog. But that's like saying the cup doesnt matter, it's just a practice game. But I think the cup should matter and so if we want to win, we should leave him on the bench.

The FA Cup isn't important. Far more important that we get back our league form. Wouldn't risk a single first team player, maybe give Surridge a run out though

It’s a decent chance to try and get some form and some fitness for said players.

It should mean something, but a lot of fans like you don't care. I'm not disinclined to agree that Ince's first four months with us were good, but that's 36 months ago, and it would require Rowett to be reinstated, which no one wants. And Ince was used wide only, not centrally.

Bonham Duhaney Wilmott Batth Fox Oakley-Booth Allen Tymon Wright-Phillips Surridge Doughty Tymon will still be out won't he? Not sure whether I'll go yet. Usually good games to take the lad to, but I'm not sure I can be arsed.

Clucas it is then!!
