Neverbefore 10,695 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Normally I care about cup games and want us to do as well as possible, but with the size of the squad and the injury issues we had during preseason, I'd be starting the whole bench from Fulham apart from tav and then whatever u23 players who are closest to the first team.

Borodane 6,246 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Ikpeazu looked like he was gasping for air the entire match yesterday so he could do with a few more minutes. Sure he battled but he was visibly gasping for air the entire time. Give him 60 minutes again. Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was so noticeable that Ikpeazu was gasping for air because we were all shocked to see a Boro Striker since Bamford, break sweat and actually put a shift in. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I would go with Daniels/Brynn Peltier Bamba Wood Spence Morsy Malley Jones Payero Watmore Uche Tav got 40mins yday so would rather he rested now until Saturday. By the same token Uche and Watmore played 55mins so should be ok to play Wednesday. Hopefully we can push Daniels and Bamba through in time for them to get minutes Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Like BD I would like to see us progress further into the competition and always a boost to beat a fellow Championship team early doors into the season Link to post Share on other sites
TheYorkshireTerrier 18 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I would stick with Lumley in goal so that he can get more minutes under his belt and familiarise himself with the squad. I'd also really like to see what Crooks and Ikpeazu could do as a front two, similar to Crooks and Smith at Rotherham last season.

Bruce 1,524 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Looks like Blackpool play 4-4-2 so I think Warnock may go with wingbacks. Difficult one this because you need to get your main team as fit as possible but also protect them from injury. What I think Lumley (needs as much time to get up to speed as possible) Dijksteel/McNair Bamba Fry/Peltier Spence Morsy Payero Jones Crooks Watmore Ikpeazu I think Tav and Bola might be protected from injury. Not sure he'll risk starting Payero. I think Crooks, Watmore and Ikpeazu need time to build an understanding and this lets them play in their preferred position. Personally I would like to see Malley get a full game. I think Jones has earned a chance to start. Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I get the feeling this could be Peltier's time at left-back. Bit of a nothing game in Warnock's view so have him cover there to let Bola have a rest for this game. Could be a chance to throw Robinson in too, though.

Lumley Peltier Fry Wood Spence Morsy Malley Jones Payero Crooks Ikpeazu Agree with almost all of this, but I would start Bola. He's another player who could be significant for us but is currently short of match fitness. Him, Ikpeazu, Crooks, Payero and Jones all need as much playing time as they can get, so they'd be nailed-on starters for me. Ditto Bamba, if he's actually eligible to play for us - a wise old head among the kids would be really beneficial (our squad's average age must be pretty low these days?) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
