I expect to see something like this...

                  Leutwilwer

      Nyambe Platt Wharton Doyle

Gladwin Tomlinson Smallwood Bennett

                    Chapman

                        Nuttall

 

Good shout on Tomlinson. Seems to have faded out of the picture somewhat since pre-season but he looked like he might push for a first team place at one point.

Could be a good opportunity for him, even if it's against Stokes Under 8's (or whatever)

[chaddyrovers]

my team would be

                          Raya

        Caddis  Nyambe Wharton Doyle

Chapman Smallwood Tomilnson Whittingham

           Antonsson Graham/Nuttall

You need to remember that Rovers must field 4 players from Saturday game starting 11 and that Evans, Mulgrew and Luetwiler are away on international duty.

I would start Graham if he is staying if he leaving then I would give Nuttall a start

I'd be loathe to play either Smallwood or Chapman.

[Waggy76]

Nonsense fixture ! 

No interest at all....

Not true. Read Stuart's post earlier on in the thread, players with 40+ pro appearances can play instead of those that played in the last game.

[Dreams of 1995]

Raya

Nyambe, Wharton, Williams, Doyle

Chapman, Tomlinson, Whittingham, Gladwin

Rankin-Costello

Graham or Nuttall.

 

[RV Blue]

Fisher

Nyambe Platt Wharton Doyle

Chapman Tomlinson Whittingham Gladwin

Graham Nuttall

[Gone to seed]

Give a back four the opportunity to gel together, and give a strike partnership the opportunity to get their eye in. Everything else is lipstick and rouge to make the team more solid defensively, and more cohesive from an attacking perspective.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Going tonight.  Hopefully get a look at some of our younger lads.  Hope Wharton, Doyle, Tomlinson, Rankin Costello and Nuttall start.

Rovers 4/7 to win tonight,if I had a spare 70 grand I'd be sticking it on to win 40.Tempted to stick 700 on its stealing money in my opinion.Surely we will be beating Stoke u23 at home

[Manchester Blue]

Mowbray seemingly confirms the view we have to play 4 of the side that played on Saturday, not including the keeper.  The rules aren't the clearest but should be doable whilst still giving enough players a rest.  Would be a shame not to bring in a few of the U23's who've earned a shot, but don't want to treat it like a friendly and lose the momentum another win could provide.

Quote

The winner of each tie receives three points, and should any game be level after 90 minutes, a penalty shoot-out will be played with the winners receiving an extra bonus point.

Has this always been a thing in this competition?

[Manchester Blue]

Not sure historically but it was last season as we lost one to Oldham I think. 

[Stuart]

Young Charlie Adam getting a debut.  

[the original david brent]

Will we face some sort of sanction for not playing 4 players who started v MK Dons?

He didn't even look under 21 when he was under 21. Looked about 52

Subs will do either. So we are fine 

[Garage Flower]

Apparently they also qualify if they've played over 40 games for the first team.

The released Tre Pemberton in the Stoke line up.

Where does Travis play?

[Fraserkirky]

Nyambe and Williams playing centre half. Yikes~!

Wasn't he supposed to be quite good?

[McClarky]

Waiting now for after the next league game when the manager explains away the poor performance by saying 'the lads looked a bit rusty after a couple of weeks out of action'.  Can't fathom why Samuel wouldn't be playing tonight, when you have an in form striker you just don't leave him on the bench.

Disappointed he left, Sod's law he'll score!  

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Chapman looks a threat.
