Team against Millwall 25/09 Carabao Cup

[WhiteJC]

do we want a cup run? as fans I suspect we do, Slaviša may want to concentrate on the league however we all know that winning games brings confidence.
So will we go 'full strength' against a Millwall team who are having a tough time in the Championship but will be looking for revenge against last seasons result, or play the '2nd string' or even give some of the youngsters a game?

I think it'll be mainly the 2nd string players unless Tom and Tim are fit enough and need some match fitness so assuming those two aren't quite ready here's my selection...

Rico

Christie     Odoi     MLM     Bryan

Kebano*     StefJo     Cisse

Vietto      Ayite     Kamara

*assuming he's fit

[NJFulham]

Sess instead of Vietto.

I would like to see something like this:

                             Rico
Fossey         Odoi           MLM            Bryan

           Anguissa     KMac    Francois/de la Torre

Kebano                Kamara            Sessegnon


Gives a good mixture of fringe players, first team players and young players

I wouldn't risk odoi. We will be in real trouble if he gets injured

[Holders]

I wouldn't risk Cairney, even if he needs fitness, or Ayite who's just come back from injury.

[St. Andrews White]

Fabri
Fossey Mawson MLM Bryan
Anguissa
DLT Cisse
Kebano AK O'Reilly

Mix of fringe players and youngsters who all need minutes.

We all know Fossey, DLT and O'Reilly have promise. Anguissa, Kebano, AK and Fabri all need minutes in case of injuries and could really contribute to the team. Only one which might be a surprise is Mawson: he looked awful yesterday but that's because he needs more time, so give him the full 90 to try bed him in more.

Odoi is definitely not second string. When will people recognise just how good he is? Would not risk him in this one. Play Chambers and Mawson but swop them around.

[Facts Not Fiction]

Rico

Christie Odoi MLM Bryan

Ayite Cisse McDonald Sessegnon

Johansen

Kamara

Simple, play the players we need for the first team but who need more game time.

Who said he was second string?

[Woolly Mammoth]

Mawson needs a run out, to get yesterday's performance out of his system.
His timing and sharpening up and his first touch needs polishing.
Chambers also could do with another match under his belt.  If they can find the cupboard they have accidentally locked Joe Bryan in, him also.
  I wouldn't mind seeing Matt O'Reilly getting a runout.
I want to see us beat Millwall with a clean sheet, another defeat will do us no good.

Mawson and Chambers have to be the first names on the team sheet, they demonstrated yesterday that they are not ready for the premier league.

Just no Odoi, Fosu, Betts, MLM, Anguissa, Seri, Mitro, Schurrle, Vietto. Everyone else either needs minutes or has disappointed

Remembering how Millwall constantly thump long balls into the box this is exactly the type of opposition that Mawson is built for, Chambers has the height too but would like to see Mawson partnered by Le Marchand. Christie makes sense too, hopefully Bryan gets a game too.

[filham]

Christie, Chambers, Mawson and Bryan should be the back four and it should be made clear to them that nothing short of a clean sheet will earn them a return to the premier league.

[Jamie88]

Fossey left out of U23s this evening unless he is injured

Who said he was second string?

The OP said he thinks it will be "mainly second string players" and included Odoi at CB.

I think that's harsh on Bryan.

Sorry to be pedantic, but that's not necessarily saying Odoi is second string
