TeaCider24 18,300 23.4k Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 So at a minimum you'd expect Dieng, Bangura, Smith, VDB, Forss, Crooks (suspended) and Greenwood (cup tied) won't be starting tomorrow. I'd expect Howson to be rested. I think the team will be: Glover McNair Fry Lenihan Engel O'Brien Barlaser/Hackney Silvera Rogers Jones Latte Lath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammy legend 1,259 1.4k Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Has Crooks got 5 bookings this season or does this cup have its own disciplinary rules, as he has 2 here ? I wonder if he will beat his personal best of 15 the season before last ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChipBarrington 380 1.3k Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Balancing act between having as much continuation as possible without putting too much risk into Saturday. Lenihan seems more robust than Fry so keep him in. Both fullbacks should be fine. Barlaser needs some minutes, Howson probably the most droppable out of him OB and Hackney, Jones the most vital out of our attackers and LL needs a goal or 2. I think it will be the below, possibly with Hackney for Howson: Any Gk Smith Lenihan Mcnair Engel Barlaser Howson Silvera Rodgers Mcgree LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanddancer 2,099 6.2k Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Hope this ends well and I am not referring to a win and more concerned about injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guffie 1,670 2.8k Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I get we need to rest players. But I think we should keep a handful of players who started Southampton to start. Keep the form going and up for Watford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsoncgp 10,162 19.9k Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Howson out, Engel in, O'Brien to midfield. Crooks out, Rogers in. I'd be tempted not to make any more changes, but I can see Silvera coming in and possibly Latte Lath, plus any injuries like VDB coming out.

AnglianRed 7,882 18.1k Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I'm in the camp of naming as strong a team as possible. Just rest those who need it (and obviously leaving out those cup-tied, suspended etc.) I'm less bothered about progressing in the cup than forging better team understanding, getting players used to their roles etc. Obviously a win would be good for momentum & morale and you would think Boro, even in their current situation, ought to beat a team like Bradford. But if we lose its not the end of the world. Also really hope we don't pick up any more injuries...another perennial problem it seems for Boro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
