bpsaint Posted 23 October, 2016 Share Posted 23 October, 2016 Are Gardos or Isgrove fit? I'd rather anyone that was heavily involved on Thursday and today were given a few days rest ready for Chelsea on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 23 October, 2016 Author Share Posted 23 October, 2016 Be happy with that side assuming Long still out I'm assuming Shane might be out for a few weeks? Are Gardos or Isgrove fit? I'd rather anyone that was heavily involved on Thursday and today were given a few days rest ready for Chelsea on Sunday. Gardos played a half for the U23's, I've no idea what happening with Isgrove this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint86 Posted 23 October, 2016 Share Posted 23 October, 2016 Given that we have chelsea away next. We physically need to rest the two full backs and VVD as a minimum. Time to call up some more kids I think! Suspect Hekseth will play as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 23 October, 2016 Share Posted 23 October, 2016 martina and mcqueen again, these injuries really are a shame atm- would like to switch them up- if gardos is match fit, i'd probably move yoshida to left back tbh and get yann valery involved if he is good enough- not for me to judge though because I don't see him everyday in training, and if he isn't good enough then maybe not. as much as id like league cup progress and the league cup in our trophy cabinet i am willing to sacrifice it for some more european ties and premier league progress.

Not too many others to choose from if we rest the others. although we might well see Reed , Sims or Olamola on the bench, too Don't want to remember our poor Cup record against Sunderland in recent years, but with them sitting at the bottom of the Prem. surely they will also play a weakened side.

S-Clarke Posted 23 October, 2016 Share Posted 23 October, 2016 I think Mcqueen needs a rest to be honest, he was stretching out so much today, looked to have a bit of cramp. Maybe Targett will be ok for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 23 October, 2016 Share Posted 23 October, 2016 I'd agree with the OP but with Gardos if he is anything like match fit. Can't see Sunderland having any confidence or commitment at all for this fixture, although I've been bitten in the arse by these comments before. If we do go out... meh. The EL group is so delicately balanced I'd rather keep as many fresh as possible and Chelsea next is a big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 23 October, 2016 Author Share Posted 23 October, 2016 Will be interesting to see what Sunderland will do. I imagine they will put out a strong side as they need momentum from somewhere. They have a lengthy injury list as well. Would be lovely to knock out both of our bogey sides in the same season.

Forester Posted 23 October, 2016 Share Posted 23 October, 2016 Sunderland have a home game kicking off at lunchtime Saturday, so I would expect them to play a second string side on Wednesday evening. A superb opportunity for us to book a quarter final place with lots of juicy Premier League clashes knocking some good sides out of the competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintBobby Posted 23 October, 2016 Share Posted 23 October, 2016 If we have to win 2 and lose 1 of the next three games, I'd chose to win against Sunderland and Inter and lose to Chelsea. However, there has to be a good chance we'd beat Sunderland with a second/third string side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
