[Albion] Cup game at Newport

[Pinkie Brown]

Playing 4-3-2-1 ish

Steele/Walton

Yappi Veltman Burn Bernardo

Alzate Sanders Molumby

Ali J Mac Alister

Zaqiri

Still a fan of the FA Cup. However, given our shaky position this is not the time for exposing key players to injury over 90 minutes. Keep a few big guns on the bench if needed. Maupay and Gross on standby if it looks like going to pens. If it works, great. If not, 'meh'.

Interestingly, we can name 9 subs and in theory bring them all on. (plus a concussion sub). You taking advantage of the possibility of wholesale changes?

Is this correct[/QUOTE]

Hmm, actually no.

There would have to be particular injuries to make this many subs possible

 

[Pavilionaire]

1. We haven't won for ages.
2. An FA Cup run IS fun, so I don't think we should put out a complete team of reserves.
3. We have a keeper, midfielder and attackers that need game time, so I think this should be balanced by a strong defence.

My team:
1. Steele
2. Veltman
3. Bernardo
4. Dunk
5. White
6. Molumby
7.Moder
8.Ali J
9. Zeqiri
10. MacAllister
11. Propper

 

[Official Old Man]

Must take White. Need someone who knows where the ground is and all the good pubs afterwards (I know, lockdown).

 

[zefarelly]

My guess is:
Steele
Yapi
White (to give him a game in his proper position)
Burn (to confidence build)
Bernardo

Alzate
Molumby
Alex Mac

Gross
Ali J
Zaqiri

Subs bench? who knows lol. Hopefully Moder & Tau + 7.

This

Bernardo could do with a good game too, Zeqiri obviously, and score.

Gross for the calm experience and deliveries ( not sure why he was dropped as was playing very well. )

 

[The Fits]

Walton/Steele
Yapi
Veltman
Dendonker
Burn
Gwargis
Alzate
Jenks
Jahanbksh
Molumby
Zeqiri

3-5-1

Dendoncker hasn't been playing for U23s. Injured?

Dendoncker hasn't been playing for U23s. Injured?

Maybe tanimowo then?

 

[wallington seagull]

i would like to see Jensen Weir get a run out

i would like to see Jensen Weir get a run out

Weir and Jenks both look prospects but I can see how they can be played ahead of Molumby and Sanders who've had almost no football this season and must be wondering what the club plan actually is for them.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Will there be a stream ?

Usually no more than a small puddle in the bed!

 

[The Fits]

Maybe tanimowo then?

More of a right back I believe.
Tsoungui has looked impressive but he is another we're hoping for a growth spurt.
I think we need to pick a strong defence for this.
Ostigard-Clarke-Roberts might have been an option.

 

[Shooting Star]

My view is that it's essential for us to win this game to add a winning mentality to the dressing room, even if it is against a League Two team.

However, the risk of playing close to our best starting XI and losing would plummet morale further. I'd like to see the kind of second XI that GP was playing in the League Cup earlier this season (Ali J, Mac Allister etc). That way it rests Dunky and co. but keeps our usual subs happy and hungry. Not sure what the point of putting the U23s is really to our current PL campaign.

 

[SockMonster]

Steele
Veltman Webster Burn
Yapi Alzate Molumby Bernardo
Macallister Zeqiri AJ

 

[Gazwag]

Personally I want FA Cup to be cancelled, I cannot see any benefit from tested PL players playing against untested players

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Will there be a stream ?

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s called off

 

[DumLum]

Lower divisions are not as Covid friendly and for that reason, I think it will be postponed.

Do you remember when we used to get games called off due to Frozen/Waterlogged pitches? I guess that is also a real possibility in January.

Brilliant idea. In normal times this would be a game that many Albion fans, especially those of a particular vintage, would dream about going to..... new ground, weekend away, result perhaps a secondary concern.....

That they are a fan owned club and are obviously struggling with the effects of COVID, and remembering the days when we were fourth tier, I would like to think that we, as a fanbase, would support this.

Vicarious pint and a hot dog, anyone?

 

[Eeyore]

Will be looking to rest as many as possible and I agree that should be the case as we really don't want to get distracted by the Cup this year. If we go out then so be it.

Something like:

-------Steele
Yapi Veltman Burn Bernardo
Alzate Sanders Molumby
------Ali J Alex Mac
---------Zequiri

With a load of U23's on the bench.

Suspect we might even see more U23's that I haven't heard of start if I'm honest.

My heart sinks when I see that. Folk were pretty excited when we got to the semi-final.

It's not as if Albion haven't got a large and capable squad. Sure, the eleven for City won't be starting but a team must be put out with a view to winning this match. I've had enough of cup history in this country being shat upon without supporters being infected by its ways as well.

 

[OSRGull]

Think it’ll be the below...

Steele

Veltman
White
Burn
Bernardo

Molumby
Propper

Jahanbakhsh
Gross
Mac Allister

Maupay

To be honest I would not be surprised to see Sanchez play, he still needs game time and with his presence against a side like Newport it may be useful.
