----------Ramsey Laurent

--------------Flemmimg

Think Larsen looked like he needed game time yesterday and this is an ideal opportunity. I can't see Parker going with Flemming at 10 given he didn't play that way at all last season and I'd be surprised if Broja was fit to start given he hasn't featured at all (anywhere) in pre season. More likely he's on the bench with a view to 30 minutes.

The only other player who might come into the thinking is Tresor, who us obviously another alternative to Larsen on the left. Better to get Larsen up to speed though IMO.

If Tuanzebe isn't fit, Ekdal would be asked to go again.

We chatted about this yesterday in the car. Whilst players need minutes i would be tempted to go strong, 1)wins are going to be hard to find this season so trying to build a bit of confidence early might help and 2) there is a week off after Man Utd

I would go with a few changes (protecting anthony esteve, cullen and foster)
Dubravka
Walker Worrall Ekdal Hartman

Big les. Laurent
Hannibal
Edwards. Loum
Flemming

[Quickenthetempo]

It has to be used for minutes for players on the verge of the first team.

I would stick with Dubravka for this cup game though. Not sure he played much pre season and needs to get used to all our players.
Give the 2nd keeper a game in the next round if we get through.

Broja

I think Broja was limping on Sat as he went down the touchline before the game.

[FCBurnley]

We have so many players I don’t know how SP picks a team. Guess that’s why he is manager

[RVclaret]

I think Broja was limping on Sat as he went down the touchline before the game.

Parker commented after the game saying he’s close to fitness and he could be involved v Derby.

Probably this for me but swap Edwards and Tchaouna around.

Good side.

[123EasyasBFC]

Benson playing for u21s today so I think that rules him out the cup squad tomorrow

[dougcollins]

I'd definitely be chucking JBL in, he needs to get fit.

[Guller Bull]

No Mike Tresor today so surely he must be close to a start tomorrow?

[ollieclarets8]

No Mike Tresor today so surely he must be close to a start tomorrow?

With Tresor it's anybody's guess. Could easily mean he's injured or not ready even for today's game.

This is what I'd like to see with broja getting half an hour. And Ramsey

[burnley007]

I think it will be at least 9 changes from Saturday.

If Tresor isn't involved it will pretty much confirm he's off

[steve1264b]

No one has picked Barnes

[Goliath]

No one has picked Barnes

He's basically here as a cheerleader this season.
