wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I think Wilder will go with his strongest available team, especially to try and recover some of the lost momentum from the postponed game if the players are fit and ready for the game. Personally like to see some of the kids come through in these games but there's a way we can do that whilst sticking with the spine of the team. I'd like to see: Brynn Wood Fry McNair Gibson Payero Crooks Tav Kokolo Sporar Connolly Hopefully see some of Malley and Coburn too at some stage. Link to post Share on other sites

Naisby 736 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Has any news been released about who is actually available for the match on Saturday yet? if it was 10 positive tests for players who would have made the team/squad for the Sheffield Utd match with isolation for a week is it or a negative lft it’s going to be interesting who actually plays as today will be the last day of training and travel to the match tomorrow. The player who became the 20th positive member won’t be allowed to train till tomorrow? Link to post Share on other sites

sanddancer 1,964 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Now I never thought I would be saying this some weeks ago but I think the cup is a distraction and a threat to a more important objective, a play off spot. Unfortunately the next game is Jan 15th which feels like a lifetime travelling through the forum trying to find something logical and interesting. Well apart from the subject crisps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I want us to take the FA Cup serious. Remember when we knocked City out at the Etihad. That was a brilliant game and I'd like more of those please. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,179 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Got to win keep up the run and confidance. Regardless if its not a priority or a priority being in the cup a win is is a win. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
liambell42 103 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Is it televised? If so what channel? Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,363 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 We've seen that our starting 11 is good enough for a promotion battle, but the players behind them will need to have minutes in them so that they're relatively match sharp when injuries and suspensions bite. Much like how in our promotion season under Karanka we had Kalas ready to step in at CB, Forshaw to step in holding midfield etc. Them strong back up options are vital in the final stretch of a season. So I think this would be a good opportunity to give a few back ups a start like Payero, Connolly, Peltier and Bamba without massively reducing the competitiveness of the team. Wilder might want to see how some of our youngsters perform like Wood and Brynn. However, that would be a bit surprise as Wilder isn't the sort to give any youngsters starts unless he thinks they've really deserved them. So hopefully them two, or any other academy players, have trained really well and impressed him. With Jones not taking part in the EFL Player of the Month photoshoot, I'm assuming he's one of the Covid cases so we're likely going to be without him tomorrow. As he's our key creative threat, it's a blow that leaves a huge gap at RWB that will have to be filled be someone so an academy player like Gibson or Sivi might have to fill in there. I suppose there's also Hernandez at RWB if he isn't one of the Covid cases. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Brunners 7,952 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 So Wilder says if we were forced to play the game against Sheff utd last week, 4 of the players who would have started that game also tested positive in the early parts of this week. Thankfully the ones that tested positive last Thursday/Friday might well be back, but I reckon the players we want to give game time too are probs the ones that are now out with it!
