nice draw, hope he thinks long and hard before picking the squad against hull, can never guarantee anything against them.

 

To be fair I'd rather go out to a top Prem team. Don't really think we have the squad to take a cup run and getting "easy" draws doesn't really help us.

 

only 1 place away from drawing Leeds Utd - wud have been fun!!!!!!!!!

 

;D

 

easy draws dont help developement but if it keeps us in the comp then helps the bank balance!

 

True.
So we're agreed that Leeds are beneath us now

 

Should be a good game against hull, they always caused us problems last year. Though this year they don't seem to be the same team, so could be an easy tie but also a bannana skin

 

Do you think it wikll be another outing for the reserves?

 

I would say 50/50 mix this time round.

 

I would imagine he will give a run out to a few select reserve players and more likely play the rotation players as opposed to the first team regular "star" players.

 

Think we should play first team less the people with no backup ie Marlon, Ash etc

 

Darius and Priskin up front probably

 

I think we need as much practise as possible, without risking injury.

 

I agree, i feel he needs to give the starters a go, at least some of them, remind them what its like to win.. get them pumping again!
