Ok, I don't get it personally. For me this is a must win game and we play a team that matches the occasion (a cup quarter final). Even if we win every remaining league game, we'll still finish second.Yeah. Id rather not lose another prem game tbh and if that team can't be a league one side then we have bigger problems.

We played Swansea last season in the FA Cup and they gave us a hiding until Sergio came on for the last 10 mins. We would have gone out if VAR was in effect too.We’re playing Oxford. The likes of Garcia, Doyle and Harwood-Bellis have all impressed this season against better teams than Oxford so I’m pretty sure we’d be absolutely fine if they all played.
Really don't think it's necessary against Oxford United.
If we can't get it done without him against them then we have no business being in the comp.
This is a really tough one to call. I'd like to see at least the two young centerbacks, but think Doyle might be able to sneak into midfield also. I'd personally also throw Braaf in for Sterlimg, but probably a better chance of Poveda or Bernabe I would think?

I’d be astonished, and seriously pissed off, if Kev was anywhere near the starting 11 considering we have the hectic Xmas schedule nearly upon us.
Why would you want to risk our luague cup run, given we are out of the title challenge. As things stand, the cup games are no less important than the league ones. We lost from Wigan, we can lose from Oxford if we don't take the game seriously enough. You want to play half the team that failed at U19 level.
Since when did 3 equal half? And remind me, how have those same players been getting on in the EFL Trophy against lower league teams?
We lost from Wigan, we shouldn't be complacent.
And we beat Southampton 3-1 with three teenagers in the team. I’m not sure why the Wigan result from 2 years ago is at all relevant here.

Maybe you misread but I'm suggesting three youth players, not half a team. THB and Garcia looked completely fine last time as well.Why would you want to risk our luague cup run, given we are out of the title challenge.
