How many should OC rest/rotate/drop for Spurs?

[thebish]

we should play our strongest team - or else what's the fecking point??

I guess (conveniently) I subscribe to the winning momentum theory rather than the players getting tired theory...

if you wanna rest them - then have an easier week on the fitness training - just practice corners and free kicks!! (oh - and penalties!!)

Or get the run around and a confidence sapping tonking from Spurs, leaving a tired and demoralised set of players to take on Villa and Blackburn.

All about priorities now. This season we can by some sort of a miracle stay up still.

I think even our strongest side, would be highly unlikely to beat Spurs away, so why risk it, when our bigger priorities are the two games after?

but - given you have already said clearly and more than once that we are definitely going down - then surely we must field our strongest side in the cup - as you have opined that the league is already lost....

unless you've changed your mind, that is...

I think most people have thought we were down. But like I say miraculously we've been given
a chance, whereas in many other years given our points total we'd be more or less fecked already.


Let's not throw that chance away eh?

I can't keep up with your constant mind-changes!!

so - we're NOT down then??

[Harry Genshaw]

Not that I'd ever go to Wembley again but I hope Owen plays our strongest team - if he knows what it is

On the grounds I agree with this, I ticked 3.

[StuHoldensKnee]

Rest everyone for the love of God

I have fainted!

[irie Cee Bee]

Change all eleven. Don't want us to do a Birmingham.

Change all eleven. Don't want us to do a Birmingham.

if we're gonna take this attitude - then surely we should have been clamouring for us to get deliberately knocked out much earlier on!!!

Wasn't the thought earlier in the season, but we are where we are and the season is coming to an end soon. Want our players to focus on survival so that we can enjoy next season hopefully with more luck than we have had this season. The thought of playing Hull City doesn't excite me one bit, even with the FA Cup in our cabinet.

[bwfcmadlad]

I remember a certain manager resting several first team players in a game in Portugal some years ago, saving the first team players for an important game against Wigan. That didn't work out either

Look, it's fairly simple. When you say someting eminently sensible, I agree. The fact that this is the first time in 5 years, tells you all you need to know.

alonso and klasnic due games

and MUAMBA

wouldnt be againat resting nigel - he has played a lot of games...but that would leave us with a dodgy centre mid....get sean davis recalled!!

Aye, I had Moo for Pratley, Klasnic for Ngog and Eagles for Petrov, switching Myiachi to the left as my three changes.

[lovethesmellofnapalm]

same back five with Jussi in (and tell him the jersey's his if he turns in a wonder performance) possibly Alonso at a push

possibly Muamba in for either Pratley or RC.

poss try Miyachi up front off NGog with licence to roam.

we CAN win/draw this but need to be level at least at half time.

[Montreal Wanderer]

I'd put Muamba in for Pratley. Eagles for Petrov and Jussi in for Bogdan seeing as cup games are for ressie keepers

I'd go with this one

[Bruce Rioja]

I think we should start with the lesser players whilst having the better players on the bench, only I'll be fecked if I know which are which1

[Wonderwanderer12]

Strikers:
I don't think we have any specific ace strikers, so we can simply rotate them.

Wingers:
I think Miyaichi is young enough to play 2 games in a week, so play Miyaichi in both games while rotating Petrov and Eagles.

Defenders:
I think center backs don't have to run hard compared to full backs, so I think we don't need to rest our best center backs, but rest our best full backs instead.

Midfielders:
I think NRC is irreplaceable for us, and it might be better for us to rest him.
