I think the regulars need a day off, league is miles more important this season especially given the takeover

Anybody who played 90 mins tonight should not play a Fulham

Bit unfortunate we don't have an extra winger to reduce Brady's or Gudmundsson's minutes but I guess Benson can always play there. Wouldn't risk Pieters at all unless we're certain Taylor will be okay next league game. Perhaps Taylor played too soon today.

I would love us to go deep in a Cup, but more important to keep players fresh at the moment.

Brady and Gudmundsson need minutes! Especially the latter.

Although players need resting and the league is more important i would really like to see us progress in the cup, strongest team as possible for me.

Does Pieters need protecting now that he's our only fit left back and we have some big games coming up?

Would love to see Glennon get a chance after his cameo the other week

Winning is infectious.

In this fixture that is doubly important given we're playing a PL relegation candidate. Psychological blow as much as owt if we KO them.

Strongest line-up possible please.

Dyche will have a few selection dilemmas come Sunday although with Fulham in the bottom 3, losing could give them a lift, which we don't want.

At the same time, we have the likes of JBG and Brady who are made of glass, so would want to delay the inevitable for as long as possible.

Vydra and Jay must start though, along with Cork.

To come on at 60mins ;- Glennon, Benson, Jay

The team that can get a result, however I wouldn't risk Mee, Pope or Tarks, that trio is just too important to us.

I genuinely don't understand why some folks don't class this as a big game, if we could get through this tie, we'll likely be playing a Championship club at home, now there's no guarantees, but potentially we could then be just 90 minutes away from Wembley, yes of course we want to preserve our PL status, but the win last night has given us a fair amount of breathing space, so surely we should have a proper crack at the FA Cup with the draw we now face.

Imagine the excitement should we reach the last 8, and we've shown that on our day we can turnover the big boys (City excepted), so who's to say we can't go all the way.

Agreed, If we had a bigger squad and 6/7 more points, I would like a cup run, but not as it is

I'd like to see more of that young lad that came on against MK Dons alongside Mumbongo, think it was Glennon ? I see this game as an opportunity to give him some game time
