Serious question. I know plenty of people are dead against this tournament for a variety of reasons. But if you are in the middle of a losing streak,confidence is low,surely a win,any win,anyhow,any competition is good for morale ? So if we lose today,should we put out a strong side against Brighton midweek ?

Right now our strongest side (according to Pep's ideas) would probably lose.

So it's a weak side then, as confidence is high again.
PS. It's not Brighton, it's Brighton under 20s or something.

We won yesterday so let's put the under 12s out.

We won yesterday so let's put the under 12s out. Might have to given international call-ups and the injury situation. Not much room for squad rotation. Suspect Wes and Silva could do with a rest as well.

Don’t risk players like obika and riberio who have been carrying knocks. One things for certain if James Roberts isn’t even on the bench for This then he’s gone

Williamson, Shearer, Mowatt, Mehmet, Carroll, van Kessell, Xemi, and Martin, must all have a good chance of starting Tuesday night. I assume Tiendalli is not ready yet?

Why would a reserve team fixture affect 1st team morale?

Won't be going near this tournament, again. but lineup would be:
Eastwood (he'll want to play every game) Carroll, Williamson, Martin, Ricardinho Ruffels (C), Xemi Henry, Mowatt, GvK Roberts.
Cannot risk Thomas or Obika, Mowatt could do with 90, Xemi needs a runout, Ruffels should play every minute at the moment, he's deserving of that.

m6 line up would be eatwood Williamson Martin Mousinho Ruffles Xemi Rothwell GvK Henry Roberts Mowatt in that formation

Post by oxfordboy on Oct 2, 2017 21:57:53 GMT
I'd like Ricardinho to get a rest but we lack options there
I think Gilgy's team is pretty close to what I would like to see though

I'd go:
Eastwood Carroll Williamson Martin Ruffels Xemi Ledson Roberts Mowatt GvK Mehmeti
Feel bad for shunting Ruffels to left back as he has been excellent this season but wouldn't risk Ricardinho, who seems to struggle with 90 minutes, so 2 games in a week isn't ideal for him. Would also give Ribeiro a rest and give valuable minutes to Xemi, Mowatt and Mehmeti.
I expect GvK to play as he's delayed his flight to Curacao and would give Roberts a run out as there's no harm in doing so in this cup, and when we should be saving the first team players for Saturday where 2 wins on the bounce would do wonders for our confidence.

Stick to following Swindon rather than pretending to be an Oxford fan.

Think Ashby and Long my get a run out

Long isn't in the squad- i assume he is not fit enough.

Carroll isn't available. Ah ok, I had assumed he wasn't flying out until later in the week - just read that their game is tomorrow so that makes sense. In that case I'd give Tiendalli or Long game time if they're fit enough. Failing that, I'd stick Mousinho there. I'd rather not have him at right back but we need to keep Ribeiro fit.

Ashby to come on off the bench. Probably too many changes, not sure of the rules this year.

Dump as many players as possible for this one. Shame Canice isn't available as we could really do with being able to rest both full backs. Especially Ricardinho.

I agree we've already won a game in the tournament, lets give the reserves/youth a runout and rest our important players for the league
