Jesus, do we have to play again this week?

I'm afraid so sunbeam.

[Samba]

We should go through..

On BT Sport 3, btw.

[Deepster]

Another home match, another train strike / engineering works ... ****ing ridiculous

[simon hammer]

A nice 3-0 home win would be perfect.

[Aztec Hammer]

Play the moody, depressed Italian guy who is really good at shooting the ball thing into the goal hole please.

[OFT]

A nice 3-0 home win would be perfect.

Go out there and try and get a nice early goal to all but kill the tie and then we’ll be in cruise control for the rest of the game.

It would be nice for at least 1-2 youngsters to come on inside the final 20 minutes should we have a comfortable lead. I suspect Moyes may attempt it should we be in a good position towards the end of the game.

I expect Oggy, Cresswell to come into the team for one of our starting centre halves from the Villa game and Emerson respectively. Perhaps Ben Johnson will replace Kehrer also.

Antonio will probably get the nod to start should he be fit. I think he will be the way Moyes was talking about him.

Cornet may get slightly longer minutes off the bench.

Shame it’s not a sell out yet. A fairly pressure free game, under the lights, in a competition we’re doing well in and have a good shot of winning. I’ll be there and hope to see as many there as possible. Trains strikes or not.

This week I am predicting a 3-0 win for those b*stards in claret and blue. Antonio, Benrahma and Fornals with the goals.

Try to 60 mins out of Scamacca and Cornet.
Shame Downes is suspended.
Get a little bit of understanding in the defence.

Scamacca to replace Antonio at half time to get a run out

On bench if needed

Ings
Bowen
Paquata
Emerson
Rice
Zouma
Kehrer

Edit downes is suspended

[WCpete]

I don't think Antonio should be played with Scamacca. They've been on the pitch together a few times, and neither will acknowledge the other's presence let alone work together.

Bring on Cornet, Antonio and Mubama (if available) early doors second half.
