That should be enough Premier League quality and derby know-how to see us through.At a rough estimate their transfer fees are circa 40 million plus.
Bench should be strong, last season at Accy, Gray was introduced after about an hour

ly didn't have has shooting boots on that night.

That worries me think we should keep a Heaton Mee and Tarks playing s often a possible.

We should not only insult the Rovers by playing a weakened team but also laugh at them grasping at straws if they beat us and, if they don't, enjoy the ****-storm heading their way.
We simply cannot afford any injuries or suspensions. Maybe take the FA Cup seriously - we'll have a better idea of our prospects by then but not this cup.
For God's sake, we could buy the whole Rovers' squad for the amount of money we're going to pay for our next player ! Priorities.
The second paragraph here^^
Would also add, really don't want a replay

CT got it bang on, looks a really weak team tbh. I'm not sure you will ever see a more immobile 11 in football again, Bardsley and Arfield down the right side. Barnes and Walters upfront, just ew

Why not start Wood? It would be a great confidence boost to get an early goal at the start of his time at Burnley.

Not confident at all with that line up, hope I'm wrong.

That's an extra-time line up if I ever saw one. Hope I'm wrong, too.

I prefer the match thread version of team review - far more positive

Look at their team against what we are putting out. Doesn't always work like that but we should have more than enough.

Can't believe anyone would think we wouldn't make all these changes. It's what we do in this competition and it won't bother Dyche who it's against.
