Let's see who's fit after Friday and work from there. Can Murphy play centrally? Skalak?

I would have said Skalak, Murphy and Izquierdo behind Murray so the latter two can get some game time. Brown for one of the CM spots IF fit.

Good point. Well made.

A N Other and A N Other it is then. Might it be worth risking at least one of Stephens or Propper?
No.

Bournemouth would like nothing better than to crock one or both of Stephens or Pröpper and derail our season.

We are actually allowed to play first team players in the cup, aren't we?
Arn't you normally championing giving youth players a chance ?

This is the perfect chance to do so.

Yes, fine by me - Molumbey (if fit) is in contention, isn't he? I was just responding to the general fears on this thread that without Stephens and Propper we'd have no-one to partner him. If they're so desperately tired that they can hardly drag their weary bones from the changing room to the pitch, they can do 45 minutes each.
And yes, give youth a chance by all means - yes please - but not too many at a time! Two untried youngster in the centre of midfield would be pushing it a bit.

Yes, I suppose 2 U23 central midfielders at once is a little ambitious.

How close is sidwell to returning? May be the perfect opportunity to get him back playing.
