Honestly not bothered about the cup and the squad is so threadbare at the minute it’s all about getting the points at Bristol next week and avoiding any more injuries.
Collins gave a hint when he said that it would be a different situation for some players starting a game rather than coming on at 4-0 up.
Wonder if it will be used as an opportunity for some of the younger lads or if we'll want to keep the momentum and give Collins the opportunity to see more from his team. As he says you learn more in competitive matches, which way will he go?
We are skint, made millions this summer and spent very little. We shouldn't be writing off a cup run for funds.
Play a strong side. Build some familiarity. I’d give the French centre back a start & O’Keefe will need replacing but other than that I’d try to keep a settled side unless players have knocks.
Got the impression from his interview that the games almost an interview for the fringe forwards, hes going to decide next few games wether to bring in another striker or not. Dallas/Shaw playing for their careers on Tuesday night Mentioned that coming on at 4-0 up is one thing, doing it from the start is another
As daft as it sounds, I want us to keep the record going, as Tranny have never won a game at Oakwell. But I do understand that Lg games are picked as priority.
Dallas just came one as sub and scored on debut. He's not playing for his career between now and the transfer window shutting.
Like that team. A few changes but still looks strong. I’d give Winfield a go though for Cadden, who I just think is so important to us and covered some serious ground today.
Wouldn’t have Kitching, Styles, Kane or Cole anywhere near the team Tuesday. I’d start Dallas and Shaw. We are a bit thin on the ground for numbers though, is Phillips suspended in the cup or just the league?
EFL cup (and fa cup) are included in the suspension , Papa John's has its own discipline record tho. Good for us though, as it means Phillips will be back for the pboro game.
My bad, poor choice of words, my point was that their place in the squad for the season is still being reviewed, so it’s an important game for them. Both played well today
