BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I’d like to see a fairly strong team, we need to keep momentum going, we missed a game over Christmas and we’re rubbish in the next game, even though the players had had a rest. Warnock won’t agree because he doesn’t rate the FA cup, but it would be great to go on a run and get a televised pay day against a decent prem team. Link to post Share on other sites

As it's going to kinda be Brentford u23s Vs Middlesbrough u23s especially after the Covid outbreak plus as we saw earlier in season with loss to Barnsley in the league cup 2nd round Warnock wants to throw the game. To focus on the league and the promotion push. Meanwhile Brentford be playing bad side as they had their cup experience in league cup aren't going to want cup distraction when they try for automatic promotion. Brentford don't have an u23s, they have a B squad 2 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,396 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Warnock sounds more up for it than I expected, I wonder whether Gibson had a word and stressed that he takes the cups seriously. Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly Warnock with his age and the football environment he has developed in, the FA cup probably still means something to him. Link to post Share on other sites

Just sounds like he's changed his tune since the fan forum where he said we weren't going to win it and he might just play the kids. Which was well before the Covid outbreak. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 The plus side is it's a chance to see some of the young lads against a decent side, even if Brentford field a few of their own youngsters. There's a handful of our U23s who've had a bit of noise surrounding them, so it's a chance for them to perform, and perhaps in an easier situation with no fans. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Smogzilla 7,384 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) On the u23s: Daniel Dodds (RB) was injured I believe in November/ December. Unsure if he's back fit but would be well in with a chance if he is. The Wingers Folarin & Jones will surely be involved given the proximity they've had to the 1st team squad already. We already know about Nathan Wood and surely he will play if available. If Mcnair is one of the lads out then perhaps Jack Robinson will make an appearance. Left footed CB who, like McNair, takes a lot of free kicks and corners. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Warnock inadvertently confirmed Paddy has covid so wont be involved. But thankfully Paddy has no symptoms. Also confirmed he looking forward to how Nathan Wood does v one of best attacks in league so I imagine him and Fry will be your CBs. Also confirmed Howson wont be risked but should be available for bench v Birmingham. Link to post Share on other sites
