Shroppie Posted 4 November, 2010 Share Posted 4 November, 2010 May be a bit early but thought it might be interesting to guess whether we'll go with a full strength team or not. If you consider that we could make 10 changes from Tuesday and still put out -------------Bart---------------- Richardson Jaidi Martin Dickson Puncheon Schneiderlin Wotton Holmes ------ Guly --- Bignall ------------ Doesn't look too bad, does it? BTW, really looking forward to their fans' rendition of "When the Shrews go marching in" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr27 Posted 4 November, 2010 Share Posted 4 November, 2010 (edited) If Bignall does not get permission to play, a possible debut could be on the cards for Doble, or NA may revert back to a Lambert/Guly combo IMO.... I don't think you're far off though - could be that all the subs from Tuesday may start on Saturday... Edited 4 November, 2010 by markr27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 4 November, 2010 Share Posted 4 November, 2010 I think we should start with.... Bart Richardon Fonte Jaidi Dickson Puncheon Morgan Hammond Holmes Guly Lambert with making an show from the bench... Martin Bignall lallana or chamberlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you're far off though - could be that all the subs from Tuesday may start on Saturday... I'd certainly keep Oxo and Lallana on the bench. The Wotton bit was tongue in cheek - probably will be Morgan and Hammond since if Chaplow is here he may not get permission. But I think Dickson, Jaidi, Martin, Bart in particular are too good to be just playing reserve, sorry "development" games and they should be able to do a job. I dread thinking that we won't win easily. Shrewsbury is my local team and I work with far too many people waiting to gloat on Monday if we slip up.

markr27 Posted 4 November, 2010 Share Posted 4 November, 2010 Chaplow will probably play if he has no future at Preston and he's still here on Saturday. I think it'll be a Fonte/Jaidi combo at the back, with the former wearing the captain's armband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 4 November, 2010 Share Posted 4 November, 2010 Saints for the first round of the JPT put out the strongest side maybe bar Jaidi/Martin. The FA Cup is a more prestigious competition, with more prize money and potential future earnings at stake. I doubt there will be wholesale changes to the team against a team flying high only one league below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FA Cup is a more prestigious competition, with more prize money and potential future earnings at stake. I doubt there will be wholesale changes to the team against a team flying high only one league below. You might be right but I would still pick a team without Lallana, Fonte, Davis, Harding, Hammond, Chaplow, Lambert and Barnard for this one. It is completely pointless. We have no hope of winning the FA Cup and no need for further ticket money from getting a "glamour" draw. I would like us to win the game as winning is fun and the cup is fun but this is a valuable opportunity to give some players a run-out against a decentish team.

rolosfc Posted 4 November, 2010 Share Posted 4 November, 2010 Pardew's theory was that we put out the strongest team in all competitions and try to get as far as possible. This certainly worked last season with a nice FA Cup run and the JPT win. This season however our priority is certainly only the league. Adkins recognises this and doesn't need a cup run to lift spirits, as we did last season. However, regardless of who starts we should not have a problem turning Shrewsbury over. Even though they are performing well in L2, so are we in L1 and we would be comfortable in the Championship with this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkiesaint Posted 4 November, 2010 Share Posted 4 November, 2010 I think the team will be similar to tuesday. A good time to continue the present momentum. I don't agree benji that its pointless. There is still much for this team to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroppie Posted 4 November, 2010 Author Share Posted 4 November, 2010 I'm not arguing that Shrewsbury are a pushover or that we don't want to win. My point is that we really do now have a strong squad and most of the "reserve" players should be able to deliver against any League 1/2 opposition and need serious match practice. They'll also know it's a chance to impress and challenge for regular places and will maybe even encourage the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkSFC Posted 4 November, 2010 Share Posted 4 November, 2010 I don't want to see wholesale changes but I would like to see a few players rested. As great as it is to have a run in the cup and it would be good to get to Rd 3 and pull "a big team", promotion this year is paramount. After Saturday we have 3 tough games where no less than 7 points should be the target. We have a good squad so some changes should not disrupt things too much and indeed mau well produce a really good performance as those currently out of the team may well force Adkins hand for Carlisle. My starting XI would be; Bart FR. Jaidi. Martin. Dickson OX. Chaplow. Morgan. Holmes Lambert.

Shroppie Posted 5 November, 2010 Author Share Posted 5 November, 2010 With Fonte off on his hols for the weekend and possible Davis too, keeping a winning team is not going to happen. In my OP I said tongue-in-cheek that we could make 10 changes, and that's not going to happen either. I expect something like ---------- Bart ----------------- Richardson Jaidi/Martin Seabourne Harding/Dickson Puncheon Hammond Chaplow Dickson/Holmes ---- Guly ------- Lambert/Barnard Subs: Lallana or Wotton if we want to give AL a rest, Schneiderlin, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Barnard/Lambert, Martin/Jaidi, GK (don't know who's available), Doble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 5 November, 2010 Share Posted 5 November, 2010 make as few changes as possible, it is always the best policy. The more players play together the better they willl become.

Charlie Wayman Posted 5 November, 2010 Share Posted 5 November, 2010 What if we field a reserve team and go 2-0 down???? I think you're way wide of the mark. Adders fancies the Cup so we will go in strength, resting only those who are knackered and maybe AC 'cos he "cramps up" whatever that means in my native Hampshire English. Richardson is only just back and needs the run, so too Seaborne and I wouldn't want to be the poor sodding coach who has to tell Dan Hard-ing that he's not included.

SNSUN Posted 5 November, 2010 Share Posted 5 November, 2010 Fairly strong line up IMO. Bart - Gives Davis a break, I don't have a shred of worry about Bart covering. Frazer - Still needs match fitness Martin - A welcome run out for him I would think, having been out for a while Seaborne - To keep some familiarity in the back four. Dickson - Gives Harding a break and Ryan can show what he can do. The OC - undroppable after that performance on Tuesday. A chance to show his skills on the bigger stage. (Televisually-wise) Chappers - if Preston let us play him, I'd keep him in. Morgan - as he was dropped on Tuesday he should be fresh. Puncheon - That's right, on the left, and it gives Lallana a break. Guly - Skillz McGrillz Lambert - Play him until he scores from open play, dammit! subs: Davis, Harding, Jaidi, Hammond, Lallana, Barnard, Wotton. Big win IMO, I know it's the FA cup and upsets happen but I really can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
