Anyhow, here's a team I'd like to see.
Hladky,
Sonne (if he's not suspended), Worrall, Humphreys, Pires,
Cullen, Laurent,
Anthony, Sarmiento, Koleosho,
Foster.

We'd get battered if we made 11 changes against a half decent side from the league below.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 8:29 pmI think there was a thread somewhere.

Needs to be a mix. Maybe 5 rested, if that.Burnley1989 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 8:32 pmWe'd get battered if we made 11 changes against a half decent side from the league below.

I’m not particularly fussed about the Fa cup be nice to give the fringe players a go to keep them sharp for the run inBurnley1989 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 8:32 pmWe'd get battered if we made 11 changes against a half decent side from the league below.
Lewis has played recently for the u21s. Not sure he’s available tomorrow but I don’t think you will be disappointed if you want to see some u21s in the match day squad.123EasyasBFC wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 8:40 pmIn the league I favour experience in the squad but it would be nice tomorrow to see some of the u21s either start or make the bench.
We haven’t seen anything of Lewis Richardson for what seems like ages
Injuries haven’t helped Richardson and us being in the premier league when he first came through, probably leaves on a free at the end of his deal and becomes one of the what if storiesClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 9:24 pmLewis has played recently for the u21s.

Have you heard which young lads are in the matchday squadClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 9:24 pmLewis has played recently for the u21s. Not sure he’s available tomorrow but I don’t think you will be disappointed if you want to see some u21s in the match day squad.

One of them should be obvious given the bench at Blackburn.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 9:27 pmHave you heard which young lads are in the matchday squad
I watched him in a recent u21 game and he was outstanding.123EasyasBFC wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 9:26 pmInjuries haven’t helped Richardson and us being in the premier league when he first came through, probably leaves on a free at the end of his deal and becomes one of the what if stories
It’s a shame then if he’s not available for tomorrowClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 9:35 pmI watched him in a recent u21 game and he was outstanding.
He’s not injured but we’d quite a few u21s missing from this week’s game.
Tbf 123 with 4 senior strikers on the books you would imagine Richardson wouldn’t play anyway
Richardson seemed like he played more as a 10 for the u21s couple of weeks ago, so thought he might help with our lack of wide options for one cup game that’s allNewcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 9:53 pmTbf 123 with 4 senior strikers on the books you would imagine Richardson wouldn’t play anyway
This is really good news. such a pity his development has been hampered by injuries.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 9:35 pmI watched him in a recent u21 game and he was outstanding.

Not sure losing at Reading at the start of January will keep players sharp for the run in around March/AprilNewcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 9:23 pmI’m not particularly fussed about the Fa cup be nice to give the fringe players a go to keep them sharp for the run in
Who plays midfield then? I'd like to think Parker will treat cup games with a bit more respect than Dyche did.Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2025 5:31 amI don't want to see Cullen, Brownhill or Laurent, they need a rest.
Neither the Bournemouth nor Fulham teams managed by Parker in the Championship had significant FA Cup runs both being eliminated at the 4th round stage. Bournemouth being beaten at home by Boreham Wood.
Yeah, i get the feeling we won't be too bothered about today.kentonclaret wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2025 10:06 amNeither the Bournemouth nor Fulham teams managed by Parker in the Championship had significant FA Cup runs both being eliminated at the 4th round stage.

Hopefully we can progress beyond today’s 3rd Round stage and give an opportunity to some of the younger players.
I disagree. Players who are close to the first team or bench need to be surrounded with first team players. This isn't a friendly.CoolClaret wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2025 11:56 amEither go full rotation or experiment with our strongest team in a setup designed to breakdown teams that are expected to sit in - where we'll have long periods of the ball... could stand us in good stead for the remainder of the league
I couldn’t disagree any more. He’d have even less space in the middle and for someone whose weaknesses are close control and awareness this would be a bad move.burnleycclaret wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2025 11:06 amI'd like to see Koloesho through the middle as a number 10. People may scoff but can see that being his most dangerous position.
We don't agree on much so no problem here. If you watched us you'd know he sometimes has 5 players on him out wide. One on him, one or two ahead of him and one or two behind him. Through the middle his trickiness is perfect. Would he be a target man number 10? Absolutely not. But a number 10 doesn't always have to be a target man. He'd still be the man you get the ball to who would turn and supply the striker. And we'd of course need a striker/cf who ran on.Jakubs Tash wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2025 12:05 pmI couldn’t disagree any more.

Maybe if he played as a 9 on the shoulder of the centre halves he could be effective with his pace and space to run into. But as a 10? Not for me. He’s not a good enough footballer.
Passing is the worst part of his game and that's a pretty important part of the number 10. I'm not sure he's got a trick in him to work in small spaces or the strength to fend of the opposition in a congested area.burnleycclaret wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2025 11:06 amI'd like to see Koloesho through the middle as a number 10.

Is that right? I don’t remember ever disagreeing with you previously….burnleycclaret wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2025 12:11 pmWe don't agree on much so no problem here.
