Ooooh, is there another poll?
Any road up, no way should we play our first team, some need a break and risk not getting a clout.
Nearly pub time...onwards and upwards.

No. Stiff and kids. It is a distraction that really doesn't matter.
What if Stephens and/or Propper got injured tonight?
A distraction in what though? What will be will be. We aren't going to win the league, there are at least 4 or 5 worse teams than us in the league.
They have an equal chance of that happening in any fixture. One of them will have to play tonight either way.
We’ve had a 7 day break since our last game and have 5 days until our next game. We went out of the league cup early and have 8 fewer league games than last season. I don’t see why Hughton can’t put a strong team out.
Someone might get injured but that could just as easily happen in training.

No - need to do all we can to get 3 points on Saturday. Hoping to see Krul, Uwe, Goldson, Kayal and Baldock at least in the starting lineup, probably with March and Bruno (Knocky, Jose and Schelotto to start on Saturday). Also expecting Skalak to start given CH's press conf comments.

the match is irrelevant in the bigger scheme of things since Man City will win the cup anyway if they want. there will be a few of first teamers to make it look like we care (Hemed, Schelotto Kayal March for instance), a couple of squd players (BFG, Krull types) and then either those who the club want to put in the shop window or U23 (Ahannach, maybe alzate)

Slightly more likely in a lively match v Palace I'd have thought.

Agreed. If we were playing Wednesday or Thursday then Saturday then I could understand a break but a five day break is more than sufficient to recover. We will probably lose at West Brom anyway.
The irony is the players that really need a break, Stephens and Propper, probably won't get one. Well at least one won't anyway.
Saturday is five days away...They need match fitness !!

...and a happy Monday to you too.
We are just over half way through the season and only 3 points out of the relegation places. I think that is where we should be focusing.

Kayal Hemed, Goodson and Krul are all first team squad players. I imagine Bong or Suttner will play and Scheleto will probably play in place of Bruno. Skalak will replace either March or Izquiredo and I would imagine plenty of dropped first teamers will be on the bench. Really hope that Baldock gets a run out too. Does this sound like a weak team? Doesn’t to me.
Some are making it sound like we are playing the youth team
I will be perfectly happy to see all the players I mentioned above getting a game. All those who are choosing not to go when they don’t even know the match day squad are just looking for an excuse imo.
And no I don’t think we should be playing our normal first team. It’s about time CH gave some of them a rest.
