PlayItLivo Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yeah but they aren't going to potentially lower Eaves' value by cup tying him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics_Fanatic Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 It's only a cup game anyway. +1 my thoughts exactly. Although it would be nice to get through its not a must. We're never going to win it anyway. Roll on JPT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskedOwl Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 It's only a cup game anyway. i seem to recall PD saying he was goin to field his strongest lineup for cup games. will be a good chance to see what kelly can do. bembo lita is fairly nippy but bit lightweight.

slystallone Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 +1 my thoughts exactly. Although it would be nice to get through its not a must. We're never going to win it anyway. Roll on JPT! What he said - My thoughts exactly. We have a realistic chance of getting some silverware and a trip to Wembley in the JPT so I hope that this season; as opposed to recent seasons, we give it a bloody good go in that competition. As for this one – well; meh – a win against Championship opposition would be nice; continue the current 1 game winning run (!) and all that but in the grand scheme of things; this carling Cup tie ranks pretty low down on my list of priority games this season. I’d say it an ideal game to have a look at Kelly, M’Voto and get either Bemba-Lita or Crompton a valuable 1st team start. Oh, and Holdsworth & Millar too.....

opinions4u Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 How about a 4-5-1. Millar on the left. Holdsworth on the right. Alessandra playing in a more advanced central role ahead of Stephens and Furman. Kelly up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 It's only a cup game anyway. 'It's only a cup game anyway' That's not the point, winning breeds confidence so for me a win should be our aim. We need all the money we can get this season and income from cup runs is not budgeted for and would be very welcome. We went out in the first round of every cup last season so a little success is well overdue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ensure a good gate on saturday, which we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I didn't say we shouldn't try to win, just that losing in the cup to a Championship side is inconsequential.

Alessandra playing in a more advanced central role ahead of Stephens and Furman. Kelly up front. Before a ball had been kicked in pre-season; I wondered if they (PD & Tags) would take a look at Lewis as a player who could be the ‘in the hole’ advanced Midfielder (or withdrawn Striker; whichever way you look at it) – but then I decided that he was possibly a bit lightweight to play it...... Then he goes and gets stuck on the left of midfield in a ‘there’s no-one else’ moment and bloody excels!! He looks to be able to hold his own in the midfield (which was the worry I had), his touch & skill on the ball (which wasn’t in doubt really) has come to the fore & he seems to finally added a work-rate & intensity to his game. Having seen him so far; ‘in the hole’ might not be a bad shout for him if we switch to a 4-5-1 formation. On this occasion though, i’d expect he’ll still be LM, with us 4-4-2 and Bemba-Lita & Kelly up top; Crompton coming on for whichever of those 2 is the first to tire; not impress.....

We've been handed a decent chance to knock a bigger side out, and hope we can get a decent home tie. I'd be delighted with a win, and if the kids can be the ones to get the win then even better.

You've admitted yourself that cup runs aren't budgeted for. Anything Else Is A Bonus. Of course it's a bonus, but a cup run to the fourth or fifth round could be the difference between a poor budget and a competitive one next season. Don't forget next seasons budget will be determined in part by our successes this campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I'd be delighted if we got to the fourth or fifth round of every cup competition. Equally, I won't be bothered if we get dumped out in the first round again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally, I won't be bothered if we get dumped out in the first round again. Exactly. I’d love it we win tonight; but it shouldn’t be classed a must-win or a priority or the like. As I said earlier, it’s an ideal game to get Kelly a full debut, M’Voto a debut, DBL a full start / full debut & get Crompton a cameo 1st senior game. If Holdsworth gets a run too; all the better. I’d much rather us go all out in the JPT as if we do that; we stand as good a chance as anyone else in going the distance. In the Carling Cup; we don’t have a sniff in all honesty. Go for the win tonight alright; but if / when we don’t get it; it’s really not time to be reaching for the razors and pulling your sleeves back..........

RobOAFC Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 My team for tonight: GK: Ollrenshaw RB: Holdsworth (depending on fitness if unable to play at least an hour - Lee) LB: Black CB: Mvoto CB: Jarrett CM: Furman CM: Stephens CM: Jones/Lee RAM: Millar LAM: Alessandra ST: Kelly Holdsworth and Black push up when attacking while one of the CM's sit like an anchorman infront of Jarrett and Mvoto for a bit of protection - No specific player to do it, but aslong as one stays back whilst others attack.
