If we want to win then we need to play our best team

Ryan

Schelotto
Dunk
Duffy
Bong

Izqierdo
Proper
Stephens
Knockaert

Murray
Gross

you might play Goldson for Duffy to keep the former happy

We would need to look at Murray because of the booking and either play Ulloa or have him come on with enough time to get into the game

Gross or AK would then be reviewed against when to bring on Locadia

If it was an offer survival or cup I would take survival everytime but think we should be able to pull of survival (and more) and give the cup a fair go.

Leeds - but not the dirty bit
34 points and 9 games left with 37 points and a good goal difference being enough in many seasons to be safe.Plus I believe we don't play a league game for 2 weeks after Man U.Play a full side without a doubt.

If we end up on 37 points that means losing either 6 or 8 games out of the next 9. The GD wouldn't be so good then !

But it still might be enough.Point is we have 9 games to get,let's say 4/5 points which should save us and then a two week break.

True, merely pointing out a fact.

Strongest team possible, please. A chance to get to an FA Cup Semi Final demands nothing less.
Totally agree. We don't have a game the following week either, so rest isn't needed. We will be up against a very strong United team as well, so could be on the end of a hiding if we don't play our strongest possible team.

Yep. Putting out a weaker side to placate squad members would be a shocking decision considering this is a chance to get to an FA Cup Semi-final and there is a break after this match. If we want to have a realistic chance to progress our best players must play.

Nothing but first team for me. A chance to get to the Semi's, grab it with both hands, feet and mouth.

Like others have said, we don't have a game the following week.

Pröpper

Probably too positive a line up and could be case for Pröpper/Stephens to have a half each in a midfield 3 with Leo & Locadia getting 45 mins each as well. Can see LR playing RM but would be a test of Bjordal's mettle to start him as contract up in summer and 21 now.

OK, maybe a bit of a bold statement. Uwe and Goldson are Premier league quality defenders though and I would be happy to see them start. We need to trust the squad not just the first choice.

Our best chance to progress to the next round away to Man U is playing our strongest team ... simples.
