Can anyone advise what positions/kind of players Bauress and McDermott are? Thanks.

Nice lineup, glad to see the kids get a go. The league is clearly the priority so no better time to give them an opportunity.

Makes things even stranger (if that was possible)

agreenwood · Post by **agreenwood** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 2:05 pm

Tresor will come on for 20 mins and look like a player who had barely played a competitive game in a year and some fans will hammer him again.

dsr · Post by **dsr** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 2:05 pm

Has the entire first XI from last week, been dropped?

Cleveleys_claret · Post by **Cleveleys_claret** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 2:05 pm

Bauress and Mcdermott in CM, koleasho and Foster on wings, Jay Rod and Barnes up front

Actually quite like the look of that, unless our young CMs are totally rubbish and get over run

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 2:06 pm

Foster, Barnes, Jay

What a front three

dermotdermot · Post by **dermotdermot** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 2:06 pm

Obviously not taking the FA Cup seriously.

Hipper · Post by **Hipper** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 2:06 pm

This must be one of the oldest teams we could select.

Our away fans are pretty decent so they might go easy on him.

Why would we when we’re bang in the mix of a title race, we’re not going to win it so just prioritise the league.

AmbleClaret · Post by **AmbleClaret** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 2:07 pm

Barnes and J Rod up front, rolling back the years.

Good bench. Hope we don’t need them.

If they play with guts and determination, then more than happy. If they can’t be arsed then that’s a different matter.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 2:08 pm

This is gonna be interesting ! But I like the team he has picked. Good blend of youth experience. UTC

Cirrus_Minor · Post by **Cirrus_Minor** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 2:08 pm

Barnes, Rodriguez and Foster up front. Can't say we're not going for it.

GetIntoEm · Post by **GetIntoEm** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 2:08 pm

Are people really surprised at the mass changes? Right thing to do. Getting to round 5 of the FA cup is way down the pecking order in ambitions for this season.

Seriously people need to check their brains sometimes

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 2:09 pm

Who knows whats going on with Tresor

Maybe making him freeze his nuts off on the bench is some kind of punishment/sending a message?

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 2:09 pm

I notice Rovers played their first team and won. Must have given up on promotion

I would have thought Luca and Foster as wingers with JRod and Barnes up top

Rested, quite rightly

I’m pretty comfortable with giving the midfield a rest and some youngsters a run.

They were marginally better. They just defend well & hope for a break.

So after playing most of the season without a centre forward, today we have three!!

Roosterbooster · Post by **Roosterbooster** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 2:11 pm

Can anyone enlighten me about the youngsters?

SirBob · Post by **SirBob** » Sat Jan 11, 2025 2:13 pm

Don’t know much about the two youngsters, are they highly rated? Great to see Tresor back, hopefully Ramsey not too far off either

Especially so for those fans who have 'shelled out a lot of money to be there.

Cheryl Tweedy on the bench as well

Hate to say it but they sounded to have a good following.

Has anyone got any links for the game that I can watch via an iPhone?
