I've read this twice and I still don't understand it.

He loves his balls to go deep, thats my take anyway.

 

[dobingsdobber]

I agree. We need to use the squad for this one, some players need the minutes.

Ortega

Walker
Akanji
Dias
Gomez

Lewis
Kovacic
Nunes

Bobb
Alvarez
Doku

Can't see many goals there mate.

 

[Chappie]

Yes.

So we toss it off yet in your next post, you ask if there's any replays.
You clearly haven't got a clue if you don't know the rules

 

[Middedon]

Hope we rest Dias, Stones, Rodri, Foden and Bernie.

I agree with this but feel like Ake needs a rest more than Dias? Dias doesn’t ever feel like he has issues with these back to back games but it’s been said Ake can’t always do 2x a week.

There was last round, who knows what the rules are these days ?

Luton aint going to go full strength for this, premership survival is main aim for them, especially the manager who will get some amount of praise and enhanced reputation if they do. Unlikely a cup run that may most likely will come to nothing is a priority.

I thought that at first and then thought better of it. Which club near the bottom of the table wouldn't want to get our scalp, at their own place, a small, tight, hostile ground which will be rocking? Furthermore, I've always said this — success breeds success, and the feelgood factor of beating us would filter over in their league games, I reckon. Don't expect them to do anything other than tear into this.
However, this could be our best chance of silverware. I equally wouldn't expect the team and Pep to do anything other than take this tie completely seriously. We should have enough. I'd like Jack back for this. And Kova and Bernardo (or Johnny) perhaps in midfield as DMs.

You from Devon or Cornwall?

You be takin’ the piss therrr! Proper job…

And have had 10 days rest we would of had about 72 hours

And Tuesday's cup tie will be the tenth game we'll have had in 45 days since resuming after the post-Christmas 'break' up at Newcastle. And further, with six of those ten away from home to make things more difficult. And further still, we have the smallest squad in terms of 'seasoned players' of all the clubs we are vying with for trophies.

I wish some of our fellow Blues would remember the above when criticising our lads, especially on the 'Match Day' forum (mind, most of those posting negative stuff on there are WUMs from the Red Shirt cabal.. and I just wish they'd clear off and do something useful, as Dylan advised when responding to the 'Judas!' catcall at the Free Trade Hall, 'Why don't you go home and read a book?'..)

No, then again we ain't scoring many at the moment. It's strong at the back though.

To me, for this game, it's more important to get some squad members minutes.
We need the whole squad fit and on form for the run in.

That team should be good enough to win imo.
