Oldham Athletic (A) - EFL Trophy

[desperado]

The selection of the side, is more intriguing than the game itself!

Are the players who’ve been out injured fit enough to start? He’s said Forrester will start.

Do any of Saturdays starters get a spot?

Do we delve into B team/youth team? Some were training with the squad yesterday. 

                        Miller

Cogley.   Forrester  Johnston.  Taylor

                Sharples-Ahmed 

           Morley.           Dempsey 

Warren.                                    Tutu

                         Dalby
 

That only leaves Johnston from Saturday. Think I’d prefer him not playing and throw a young-un in. But I think he might be the only pick from Saturday. 

If Mcatee is fit, then I guess he’ll start. Push Demps/Morley back and play him in the 10.

A big squad to go at.

Surely Forino gets some minutes. That way, Johnston gets a break, as well. Not sure who goes on the left hand side, though.

He is on international duty

Fair enough. Johnston could do with a break, though. Unfortunately, Sam Inwood has been loaned out.

If toal and Forino are out, and if Forrester isn't fit, can't think who'd play alongside Johnston

[Zico]

Feels like the only options were Christie or cogley

[bwfc87]

The two youngsters that could have come in to the defence, Smith and Inwood are out on loan. If he wants to give Johnston a break then suppose Christie or Cogley could go CB and Tutu RB. Christie put in one hell of shift in on Saturday though.

Taylor can come in for Johnston but that leaves left back

Wild excitement.

Are we already confirmed as group winners? Anyway, home tie if so.

On for a treble us.

I think we can only drop to 2nd if Oldham beat us by 3 goals.

Where’s your ambition and positivity?

Surely we’re striving for the sextuple 😁 (“Winning 6 trophies is a rare and significant achievement in football”)

- L1

- FA Cup

- EFL Trophy

- Youth cup winners

- B team League champions

- Womens tier 6 champions

No problem with that , tho I would expect Dalby , Forss , Randall , McAtee , Tutu , Cissoko , Morley , Dempsey  to play so maybe a 4- 6-2  formation ???

There's no game for 11 days after tonight.  Yes I'd leave out all the first teamers if it was an option to avoid injury, but there's plenty of time for a break coming up if we're just talking about tiredness.

Its wierd how we all think players need a break these days, they never used to, the team only changed if there were injuries and that applied to all the Sherpa Van Trophy games, cup replays, 1st and 2nd leg cup ties etc.

Did we ever find out who the 3rd call up was after Forino and Sheehan?  Or was it Stevenage that got it called off?

Somebody called T. Oal apparently , must be a kid in the reserves.

Ah yes, forgot about him.  I think the 3rd was Forino as in its his first of the season, my mistake

Owdam 1

BWFC 3

Randall 2 & Morley....

[Farnywhite]

Why risk Johnston with the form he is in with a game that means nothing just play someone out of the youth team if there is no one available
