resting players for the fa cup

[salopstick]

we may get an indication on transfer targets after we see who is rested and not cup tied after this weekend

[spiderpuss]

Do we have any players we can rest though?

[Northy]

with the amount of injuries and suspensions I think the team almost picks itself.

[sweetandinnocent]

put the youth team out... dont use vince from the start.. lets use him as an impact player

[salopstick]

i meant our transfer targets

it will be interesting to see if the likes of ledley and surman play

[stokie63]

prob wont affect us as we are likely lose sat lol.

[spiderpuss]

sorry wrong end of the stick. Might be a clue, I would imagine if somebody was that keen to come then they would start straight away?

Assuming that neither Diao, Lawrence nor Kitson are fit enough to play more than half an hour (if at all in Kitson's case), then we could see some "square pegs" on a scale never previously imagined!

However, I expect it'll look something like:

Simo

Davies - Sonko - Shawcross - Higgy

Soares - Amdy Faye - Olofinjana - Whelan - Pugh (assuming he's shaken-off his injury)

Pericard


Bench:

Tommy
Abdy Faye
Cort
Tonge
Delap
Lawrence
Kitson

Its fucking depressing to think that we'll be playing with one up front away at Hartlepool! And even more depressing when that one up front is Periwinkle! What a frigging state!

[markscfc72]

I rekon Tonge to play behind vince like he has done in the reserves with Delap left and Soares right

[dexter97]

Is Wilko suspended for this one, or did he serve his ban on Sunday?

True, although it might be more of a 4-3-3 going forward, with the wide men joining in.

Perican't on his own up front is too scary to contemplate.

[scfclifer]

dicko will start
