Re: BIRMINGHAM CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Rúnarsson
Romeo
Simpson
Benjamin (but I’d give someone like Lawlor a game)
Collins (needs games at the moment)
Adams
Rinomhota
Evans
Colwill
Tanner
Robinson or Etete if the former is injured
We’ll probably lose with that team and I’m always banging on about how we don’t take the cups seriously, but this time I think it’s more important to give squad members game time and put one or two in the shop window.

That is definitely an Aldi or Lidl team, not M & S, or Waitrose !!!!!

I’d have Wintle instead of Rinomhota
Robinson on one wing and Tanner on the other to start with, and Grant up front
Evans will be off shortly on loan and Etete needs to learn that he has to earn a place in the starting lineup!!
For all that pedigree of coming through the Spurs academy we still haven’t seen any signs that he has a hunger to succeed.
If he’s not careful he could be another player looking at his future in a couple of years whilst struggling to find a club in the lower leagues to take him on
Rinomhota and Sawyers are surplus to requirements

I'd go with that, although I'd play Goutas ahead of Benjamin for the same reason as you've picked Collins. Unlike Evans, Colwill and Tanner, I don't see Benjamin as one for the future.
I'd have an experience bench of 1st teamers with the addition of J.Colwill, Ashford and Luey Giles (or Beecher).

I think we have to try out another left back in case Collins goes down at some point. So that we know what we have back there.
Do we even have another left back at the club?
If you say Jack Simpson, you get banned.

Someone was making a point yesterday about the team needing to gel. Play the first team, or near to it, and try to win the game.

Obviously?
I thought it was obvious O’Dowda is a winger playing out of position :shrug:

Up front hopefully. Not convinced about him as a wide player.

Re: BIRMINGHAM CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
It doesn't look like CCTV is going to be streaming this game - there's no option online to buy a pass. So I guess it's another round of the popular video game "Hunt the dodgy match stream". Or does anyone know different?

Yep! They don't show it. I've never been able to watch any of the cup games.

Be interesting how the defence line up, limited options if he wants to rest/not risk them.
