Stoke v Rotherham (Carabao Cup 2nd Round)

[prestwichpotter]

I hope we go with a strong line up with an international break on the horizon:

Bonham

Leris
McNally
Wilmot
Stevens

Pearson
Sidibe
Burger

Campbell
Wesley
Mmaee

[bayernoatcake]

Play the B team

Bonham

Hoever Rose Okagbue Tymon

Thompson Laurent Sidibe

Mmaee Gayle Jojic

[Staffsoatcake]

Play the side that started the 2nd half v Millwall, hopefully this will be the closest apart from a couple of new signings we will get to our regular starting 11.

[kickfortouch]

I’d go with a mix of new players, players returning from injury and ones who can hopefully play themselves into some decent form.

Bonham
Leris
Mcnally/Rose if fit
Wilmot (really need another CB addition this week to cover Wilmot)
Stevens (hopefully Tymon is on his way out)

Burger
Sidibe
Laurent (needs a massive kick up the arse)

Jojic
Mmaee
Campbell

[djralphy2k9]

Travers

Leris
McNally
Wilmot
Stevens

Burger
Sidibe
Pearson

Campbell
Wesley
Mmaee

[hooftastic]

I think we should go five at the back again, I'm sure if we keep trying it will work eventually

Rose is injured isn’t he? And with a 2 week break after Preston think we can afford to go a little stronger than that to get the players playing together.

[LphPotter]

Wouldn’t start Campbell yet, would use him as a sub and then start him at the weekend.

Travers
Hoever McNally Wilmot Tymon
Sidibe Pearson Burger

No idea and think we just need to give as much game time to as many of them as possible.

Travers

Leris Wilmot McNally Stevens

Pearson Burger Johnson

Campbell Wesley Vidal

For Preston.

Rested and training fully.

Using the squad to its full potential and still should win.

We don't need 5 defenders when we have Pearson or burger to protect them. We never look good playing 5 and the players don't know what they're doing. 4231 or 433 for me.

[pmjh]

Considering we have a two week break after PNE, i'd play the strongest possible side.


Travers

Hoever Mcnally Wilmot Stevens

Pearson

Johnson Burger

Leris Wesley Vidigal


Seeing as we can use 5 from 9 subs there is plenty of room for fringe players on the bench.

[potter25]

We don’t need 5 defenders against Rotherham

They were very poor

[vidigal7]

I think Wesley starts each game atm, he's offering something we've needed for a while.

In league games for me at this point in time it's a 433 Campbell right side & Vidigal left

My 433 to start next league game (obviously it's without the benefit of seeing each player on the training pitch daily).

Travers

Hoever
Willmott
Mcnally
Stevens

Pearson
Burger
Laurent

Campbell
Wesley
Vidigal

[vidigal7]

I think for the cup game


A 433 of

Travers

Leris
Wilmcote
Rose
Tymon

Pearson
Sidibe
Burger

Campbell
Mmaee
Gayle

[vidigal7]

It's nice to finally have some good players to pick from

[prestwichpotter]

[st3mark]

Bonham

Leris
Rose
Wilmot
Tymon

Burger
Thompson
Sidibe

Chiquinho
Mmaee
Campbell

[Fred Merger]

Travers

Hoever
Mcinally
Wilmot
Stevens

Pearson
Sidibe
Johnson

Vidigal
Mmaee
Campbell

[gingerninja]

Defensively Hoeveer gives me the heebie jebbies, very lightweight.

Couldn't really argue with that, think Tymon could be the only issue if we're looking at moving him on.
But I suppose until a deal has been done, he's still our player and we can play him whenever we want.

Tymon has outlasted a remarkable number of managers, Hughes, Lambert, Rowett, Jones, O'Neill, he'll still be here when when Neil is gone.

[Caddick988]

I’d like to see something like;

Travers

Hoever
Wilmot
McNally
Tymon

Thompson
Laurent
Sidibe

Leris
Mmaee
Campbell

Hopefully Mmaee and get off the mark and grab a goal and we can rest Burger and Vidigal ready for Saturday

[cvillestokie]

Travers

Leris
McNally
Wilmot
Tymon

Pearson
Thompson
Sidibe

Campbell
Mmaee
Gayle

[mickstupp]

Play the strongest team possible, it’s a great opportunity to progress in the competition and for the new players to build rapport with their new teammates. An international break is coming up so no need to be resting players at this stage.

Travers

Hoever
McNally
Wilmot
Stevens

Pearson
Burger
Sidibe

Vidigal
Mmaee
Campbell

[gingerninja]

I agree, play the team Tuesday,which you envisage starting on Saturday, or as close to as you can.

[lordb]

For different reasons Pearson, Burger, Leris, Sidebe, Campbell Bonham and Mmaee need games so that lot and 4 others to start
If Rose is fit he starts too

[Pretty Little Boother]

Strongest side possible, it's a good opportunity to get them gelling more. Any other time I'd be happy with bit of squad rotation but considering it's still basically a brand new side, we surely have to prioritise getting them firing on all cylinders first.

[Old School Stokie]

He’s still working on strongest side, so apart from giving Bonham a game could be any permutation
