Originally posted by Daddyorc I'd go for it. Saturday's game is difficult, but then we have a week off. Butland Kelly Andersen Tomkins Hannam Gallagher Jairo Schlupp Ayew Mateta Rak-Sakyi Bench: GK#3, Ward, Guhei, Mitchell, Kouyate, Benteke, Zaha, McArthur, Banks If losing at 70, bring in Zaha for Rak-Sakyi, Benteke for Mateta, Banks for Jairo (moving Gallagher inside). If winning at 70, bring in Guhei for Andersen, McArthur for Gallagher, Mitchell for Hannam (or Ward for Kelly, if he looks winded). Basically you've rested most of the team for Saturday for 70 mins, except - Andersen, Gallagher (both only mostly played 1 game and are young) and maybe Schlupp. Sounds like a plan

If the below link is true, don't expect to see any U23s in the starting line-up on Tuesday unless one or more players hasn't recovered sufficiently from the Saturday. [Link]

Like to see Martin Kelly play, but only as a central defender. His CV as a right-back is pretty poor.

I’d like to see a full strength 11 and treat it as an opportunity for the team to gel and start building momentum. A win would do the confidence a world of good. It’s also a comp we should try to win. There’s little to be gained by fielding a B team and getting stuffed 2-0.

I’d like to see a back three of Kelly, O’Brien and Tomkins tonight. I rate Anderson and Ghuei but feel that we need to be fluid at the back, and think it is where we are at our strongest ; maybe Hamman and other youth player as wing backs Not in favour of playing a full strength side due to fact that we have injuries/ absentees and pretty thin up top

I'm happy to leave the team selection to the manager, but I hope he insists they wear a double layer of shin pads. Watford are not renowned for their subtle tactics. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

I'd say maybe just Butland given a chance and probably Macca's legs given a rest. The rest depends on fitness after the brentford game.
