Loads of championship teams have international players Think the cup was organised after the internationals in this case - with the condensed season they have to fit things in where they can. Personally I would have done away with this cup for the season. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,734 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Either 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 (Diamond) for me. 3 at the back if we're looking to use this game as prep for the league games, 4 at the back of we might want to not risk our two senior CBs together - in which case I reckon Hall would be rested for Wood/Stubbs.

Personally I would have done away with this cup for the season. The majority of teams will be out of it before September ends, I don't think it will cause too much bother, I'm liking the condensed League Cup fixtures. We'll have a good week of football with internationals and domestic matches overlapping. Boro on Friday, England on Saturday, England on Tuesday, Boro on Friday. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Given the current squad and what personnel we have at our disposal I think a back 3 with wing-backs suits us best. I'd go with... Stoj Spence, Fry, Hall, Stubbs, Coulson Browne, Howson, Tav Fletcher, Britt Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Let's have a go at this then... I doubt Fry will go into the team given he's been out. Given there's no Saville or McNair I suspect that will mean we change formation altogether from our supposed future plan. Stojanovic Dijksteel Hall Stubbs Johnson Spence Wing Howson Tav Browne Britt Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,064 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) On the other hand, will Fry get game time to see how much work needs to be done on him before League starts? Link to post Share on other sites

Tobermory 101 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Which team and formation? --------------------------------Stoj --------------Stubbs ------ Hall ---- Fry Spence -----Howson - Liddle - Coulson -------------------------Tavernier -----------------Fletcher - Assombalonga Pears - Dijksteel - Wood - Malley - Johnson - Wing - Walker Will we sign anymore players before kick off? (lol) No Will Changing Times continue his nice boy streak? Who? Can we win? Yes. How far can we go in this cup? We can beat this team, that's as far as I am willing to predict.

Downsouth 6,328 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Having not won at home in 2020 so far in the league I don't know if a win against Shrewsbury would count? Sense a banana skin here if we are not up to the job Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Must win game. Is Fry even fit to start a game considering no one has seen him since the team returned. Hard to tell what formation should be used. I just don't want Johnson at LB. That's more or less the only demand I have. Fair enough if it's wingback in a 3-5-2 but not as an orthodox LB.

Not 100% sure but think Fry went back to training yesterday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Hewie 94 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Stoj Dijksteel. Hall. Fry spence. Johnson Howson. Wing. Tav Britt. Fletch not an ideal line up, I’d prefer Coulson and saville in there, but that’s the closest we will get to our starting 11 come match day 1. if Warnock does attempt to send a statement, I can see Stubbs in for dijksteel and a youth teamer in cm. I also expect a bench including the likes of folarin etc and very little else. He may get the same statement by not naming a full bench..... Doom and gloom aside, it’s a solid starting 11, it’s just missing depth for a long season. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 For 10 pounds domestic users can stream the game. 10 quid for a stream for a first round carabao cup 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites
