It's a real shame that we'll be playing a team that could rest their first-11 and still field team with half a dozen internationals.  I guess now it comes to down to whether Dean wants some more experience for the kids, or whether he wants us to try and win the whole thing, because as much as I loved watching the youngsters at Barrow, if we play the same sort of side at Chelsea we'll likely to go out.

Yes, Nakamba needs to come off for Luiz for a start.

Could possibly get away with the keeper and defense that played at Barrow at a push, but otherwise McGinn luiz, Ings, Watkins, Bailey (if fit) buendia, all need to come back with the kids as options on the.
 bench.
I was speaking to Albion mate last night, who was really pissed off at the side they picked for the Arsenal game. Having virtually half your team being kids making their first team debuts against an established premier league side, is just not picking a competitive side and if I was one of their supporters who had paid I’d be seriously pissed off. What’s competitive is subjective of course and us doing the same against Barrow, with all due respect to them, is not the same. However, if we were to play that same side against Chelsea away, I would argue we were not picking a side that could compete and it would be totally unfair to the thousands that will presumably travel down.

Our starting 11 at Barrow cost £48m. (and there's was £0m).

Arsenal's against that lot was £250m! God knows what Chelsea's would be.

Just f$%k the f#$kers.

I think it's good to play them early in the comp, they will have other things on their mind.

We will win, JPA scoring a worldly for the winner.

Yea it is a possibility that go weak as 3rd round. But their b team is excellent too.  If we go with team that played barrow we wilm get trounced so we will have to fo stronger i think. I would still play archer though after his last game.

I reckon we should ask for the Barrow money back to pay for it.
