I hope we put out a strong team. Based on the improvements under Morison last season and the (seemingly) good eye for signings he’s got, I’m not at all concerned about relegation this season. I think we’ll be comfortably mid table.

Might as well try go far in the cup and get a few paydays.

I'd expect a full change with something like

Alnwick
Vontae McGuinness Denham Bagan
King Sang Ralls
Tanner Etete Philogene

Hopefully Colwill and Davies can have some game time too, I noticed them both training with the team in a video last week so sounds positive.

I would play most of those, we need to see what they can do and who can be added now to the first team, along with Etete next game.

You’re probably right, but I’ve never understood what a club like City stands to gain by fielding what is effectively a reserve team in a competition like this.

The manager’s unlikely to learn much by playing reserves alongside other reserves, and doing so obviously lessens the club’s chances of progressing in the competition. It seems to be standard practice now for most Championship teams, but I don’t see any benefits.

Glen Williams seems to think Davies is out until the end of the month.

Pretty much exactly what I'd like to see, though I'd love to see Colwill get a decent amount of gametime in a false 9 role, so I'd maybe like to see him start over Etete, and get 55/60 mins under his belt leading the line, keeping Etete sharp for a start next Saturday v Brum.

Is it 5 subs in this too, does anybody know?

I'd like to see colwill as a 10 behind Etete if he's fit.

I'd like to see a very similar team to Saturday's. Get them back out there and see if they can do better. We've been close to winning this competition before. We should be going for it.

I think you're very near the mark with that team.

Been told by my son that it is.

Forgetting the glory of winning, just making it through a few rounds nets the club some decent cash. Our trip to Anfield last season netted us somewhere in the region of £400k I believe I read. That was for a second round tie too, I'm not sure how much the reward money increases for each round you progress but I wouldn't be surprised if reaching round 4 gets us an extra £1m+

It was a 4th round tie at Anfield last season.

Ah maybe mate, might be similar for Colwill then. At least they're both out on the grass again.
