I'd start Baleba over Moder

He's just returned after being out for six months so it's hardly surprising that his minutes are being carefully managed.

On paper that is a rock solid back 5. I hope we play to that strength tomorrow.

Yes and I’d go for Lallana over FB too. Just hope to god Forest don’t have anything good down their right wing

Don’t think any of them are injured - as @Machiavelli says, Enciso still coming back from long injury, Welbeck and Lamptey both prone to injury unless their fatigue levels are properly managed - they may be on the bench.
(I’m Hoping Dunk is in full condition too and doesn’t need to sit out - it was a tough night on Thursday)

Aye …could see all on the bench

Rest them all. Getting 5 Thursday is easy, it's the party afterwards we need to rest for.

No party, we'll score 4 and lose on penalties!

Down to the bare bones! Which senior U21s who have made it to the bench before didn't play last night? - Offiah, Duffus, O'Mahony, Chouchane, Baker-Boaitey - any more that I've missed? Any clues for tomorrow's squad?

ditto at Fulham. Injuries seem to be affecting return performance: he and Estupinan are nowhere near their best.

I’d start both with Gross higher up. Thought Moder looked good defensively in a double pivot against Wolves, and Baleba was our best player at Fulham - we simply need to develop him regardless of how painful it might be at times.
We need to stop leaving ourselves exposed when out of possession, Gross has the game intelligence to know where/when to drop deeper. Moder and Baleba are the most physically dominant profiles we have who can win duels and cover ground.
