Davies Duhaney Batth Souttar Chester Doughty Thompson Clucas Porter Sima Brown
I think we’ll get mauled, but I’d rather it happen while using the “second-string” of players who either a) need game time, or b) need to prove something.

Some of Watford's raking passes and sweeping attacks at Norwich yesterday were very impressive, hopefully they will rest a few players too.

Duhaney has to start.
Vrancic shouldn’t even be on the bench.
They’re about the only two definite things that should happen.

But don't see how that can be done at CB or up front. I wouldn't play Souttar at all tbh. Again, leave him in Stoke. He's been playing for most of the summer.

Souttar being at the Olympics. My only reason for wanting him to start would be that if the league team plays 3-5-2/5-3-2, that’s what the cup team should do as well. I just don’t see any other way around either him, Wilmot or Ostigard playing as I think Fox is still injured, right?

Yeah one of them has to play, same with the strikers unless they give Campbell a game but I don't think they will.

i always shudder when I think about these games and what happened to Bojan at Rochdale. I wouldn't risk any players we cant afford to lose. I would definitely start Ince so MON won't be tempted to play him on Saturday.

I want to agree with you about starting Duhaney but I really can’t, He needs to play instead of Ince in the league and not having much game time, I doubt he’d be fit enough for the next league game.

I usually get pretty up for the cup but personally all I can think about at the minute is 3 points against Hull
That said, nothing to lose attitude tomorrow, another hour for Tyrese?

Complete second string.
Good news Smith can use this as a ban.

I'd keep giving Sawyers game time (even if only 70 mins) to help him get up to speed

Spot on Wherty, we played some really good football with our supposed 'second' string last season, they will I am sure make major changes, so will be a good chance to continue our good run in the competition. Would love to see Tyrese or TOB figure, but I fear it's a bit to early for them to feature?.

But the make up of that “supposed second string” was actually a team led by Souttar who should have been playing. I expect this second team to lose as we’re bringing in lesser players in the area like CB. Last season we seemed to be improving such areas.

Probably right there Bayern, I would certainly ditch the 3 at the back if Chester & Baath are to play, their passing simply isn't good enough.

People were saying similar last season before we went on an impressive cup run that really benefitted both Souttar and Collins in their development. So these games are important. No doubt we will make many changes but so too will Watford and I am not certain that a second string Watford xi will be much if any better than our 'reserves'. Thinking we might nick this one
