Must make changes here, can't risk injuries to our key players.

We'll know before kick-off if it's even worth going through.

.............................Areola

KWP.....Mavropanos.....Todibo.....Scarles

Traore.....Magassa.....Kante.....Lamadrid

.............................Soucek

.............................Wilson

Get Pablo on for 20-30mins in the 2nd half.

[Fauxstralian]

Winning breeds winning
Full strength with maybe Potts getting a run after his suspension 
Is Pablo close to fitness?
Would play him & Taty & save Wilson for his late bench role if he is fit 

[BoleynGone]

Areola
KWP Mavro Todibo Scarles
Magassa Orford Potts 
Traroe Taty Ajala

Easy.
Mavro had  a rest as has Todibo
Traroe last chance saloon.
Orford over Kante by a country mile,Magassa and Kante are to similar,their combination didn't work against Burton. Ajala deserves a start over LaMadrid plus is scoring and assisting for fun. LaMadrid hasn't done anything to deserve a start,can come on for Traroe if the latter fails again.

We should give it a right old go. 1st team.
We have always looked sluggish coming back from an international break or an uninvolved cup weekend so I think I'd rather take the risk and keep pushing on.

Yep, no changes for me 4-4-2

Hermansen
Wan Bissaka, Todibo, Disasi, Diouf
Bowen, Soucek, Fernandez, Summerville
Taty, Wilson

But that clearly isn't going to happen, you oaf. This ain't football manager.

Reckon we go full on reserves here:

Areola

Mavropanos.  Kilman.  Mayers

KWP.  Magassa.   Potts.   Scarles

Kante

Traore.   Wilson

At one point or another 8 of those have been first choice, so it's not exactly throwing the kids to the wolves, but you'd be surprised if they got a result.

[El Scorchio]

Lovely if Pablo is ready to make an appearance. 

Strongest team available but sadly I am not sure it matters. Those cunts almost always seem to have our number. 

[XKhammer]

Nah fuck it go for it with full strength as we seriously have outside chance of winning this along with Leeds/Brentford/Fulham/Sunderland 
But now the dosh counts and talks so Premiership survival will mean rested players

[Come On You Irons]

I forgot about Potts. He will likely start instead of Kante.

I would love it if we went balls deep and full strength 

I would too, but being realistic..

[Manuel]

I won't bother playing let's all guess the team, but as unfortunate as it is no way we can go full strength. We will still have a chance though, Brentford have shit cup pedigree and were apparently woeful last night.

[fraser]

[Come On You Irons]

We can't risk Summerville, Bowen and Fernandes for this so they should all start on the bench.

I guess it would be Castellanos up front, Soucek, Magassa and Kante in midfield. Lamadrid and Traore on the wings and Scarles and Walker-Peters in for Diouf and Wan-Bisaka.

Areola will probably play given he has deservedly lost his league place to MADS.

Likely to be Mavrapanos and one of Disasi/ Todibo at the back.
