These games? What do you mean, FA cup and League cup games?
I've watched plenty of "these games" from the North Stand in the past.

Have to agree, we need to field the ‘best 11’ to make sure they get up to speed quicker.
Fatigue won’t/shouldn’t play a part for the vast majority, we should go with a full strength start in preparation for Saturday making changes at half time/early 2nd half.

It should be as close to a full strength side as possible. It would be disrespectful to do otherwise!!

Sounds like the loan keeper has been identified and should've been wrapped up this morning. Embarrassing that our back up keeper isn't even fit to play after missing 2 weeks of training due to back issues. O assume thats why Stevens was on bench v Barnsley.

I think we really need both a performance and a win tomorrow.
Got to get some confidence into the squad, and nothing breeds that better than scoring goals and winning matches.
So best team please, KR.....although that may well involve some changes from Saturday, of course.

I might try Raglan and Ruffels instead of Dickie and Garbutt. I would go with the rest of your choice.

the trouble is we have been really awful too!!
I'm not certain weather I can be bothered to shell out the price of a match ticket with the head coach dismissing the cup game as irrelevant in his rad Ox interview....if he and his players can't be bothered, why should Ibother travelling 120 miles and paying on the day match ticket prices as well as paying out on fuel, food n beer etc....pre season I had high expectations for this season....2 weeks in the head coach dismissed the league cup ...a proper cup competition ...one we have won...as irrelevant. THAT statement is, to me, incomprehensible

To be fair the league cup really isn't what it used to be and I can understand resting players in the early rounds. Its still early days in the season so why not use it to get fringe players some game time. Are we going to win it? No. Am I bothered if we go out tonight? No.
The FA cup is a cup that i'd much rather we had a run in. The prize money is a lot better, it's got more tradition and is still one of the few proper cup tournaments left in football.

That would be fine if the first choice players showed signs of firing on all cylinders and the team was playing errm as a team! I think he ought to play the majority of what he considers the starting XI but make a few judicious changes where he brings a few in to replace those players who aren't performing and the replacement actually has a fighting change of replacing the incumbent next Saturday. If not, then giving fringe players a run out is a complete waste of time and a missed opportunity to get the team playing properly.
I would say the league cup is relevant. You've got a chance of playing a 'big' club in it. And as previously mentioned, we've won it!
Unlike the abomination trophy where you we the indignity of playing some over pampered premier league children. That's the competition that KR really should be considering irrelevant!
