Subscriber Dan+ Posted January 24, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted January 24, 2020 That's good news for us that Brentford aren't as strong - was thinking that a weakened Leicester side might actually struggle but I'm not convinced we will now. We can't take Brentford too lightly. Admittedly the game's at a shit time for us, right before Villa and after a midweek PL game so we'll be changing more than is ideal but we're yet to lose a cup game this season, so we keep getting it right.

Depends, strongest squad there is Daniels Roerslev - Jeanvier - Pinnock - Henry Dasilva - Norgaard - Mokotjo Mbeumo - Marcondes - Halil/Valencia We could go with a back 3, Racic at centre back, Marcondes in centre mid and one of Norgaard and Mokotjo out. All depends on how we want to line up against Forest on Tuesday. With that said the squad is missing Raya, Dalsgaard, Jansson, Jensen, Watkins and Benrahma and they're all first teamers so fairly weakened but still strong, more of a testament to our squad depth really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Big crowd expected for our game. Excitement of potentially getting to the 5th round for the first time since Andy Carroll was a 16 year old Imagine if we fuck this up man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardy definitely out. Think Soyuncu and Maddison won't play. Would probably see Morgan, Fuchs, Praet, Kelechi, Gray, Justin, Ward playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 We’ve gone very weak, 5/7 of those subs walks in to that eleven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted January 25, 2020 Author Administrator Share Posted January 25, 2020 Decent side from us. Plenty of experience in that side. Soyuncu, Perez, Iheanacho, Praet, Morgan, Fuchs. No slip ups please given Brentford's side too but need to be wary given early exits in past few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d expect you to win comfortably tbh, we’ve a few players like Marcondes, Valencia and Dervisoglu who have first team expectations but are yet to hit the ground running so they could provide a surprise but really it’s as close to our B Team as we can get without actually fielding our B Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 For all the chewing off BBC did of Brentford pre-game, they’ve started this game like a League Two side and have, finally, been punished. Based on the opening five minutes, it could be as many as Leicester want it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating Forest could be the difference between play offs and automatics, we’ve a history of fielding weak teams in cup competitions and it going wrong but I’m glad they’re being rested. This is just a novelty tie really, a good development game for our fringe players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcondes has a lot of talent, but has struggled to show it since arriving. Capable of more than a lot of people watching today would be aware of, hopefully he can rise to the occasion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Roerslev is a talented right back, doesn’t look phased at all. Will eventually give Dalagaard problems for a first team spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Played a B Team essentially and I still can’t watch an opposition player time waste without screaming at the Tele Good game overall, sloppy and slow at times but to be expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
