Team v Pacos Ferreira

[Delboy75]

Very risky this they aren’t complete mugs but Nuno must obviously know that. I don’t really get, surely just make sure we qualify then play the kids in group stage. Hopefully this doesn’t backfire would be the ultimate embarrassment.

I don’t understand how Rodon isn’t walking into this starting XI. Didn’t put a foot wrong in the summer and when he got a chances last season he took them only to be benched or not selected.
Is there something that’s going on in training or behind the scenes?

Wonder if Rodon is being sold as he seems to be frozen out which would be a shame as he showed a lot of promise last year. Somewhere like Brighton with their Ben White cash could be on the cards.

 

[chrissivad]

Hopefully it's just taking time for him to get what Nuno is wanting from him.

Fancy these to turn us over they’ve got some experienced pros in their team and lots of height

 

[Joshua]

With the second leg at home I’m assuming the idea is we can rotate and use youth this leg and bring out the big guns at home if it needs turning around.

I dont think it'll be an embarrassment if we go out. I dont think most care. I dont anyway.

It would very much be an embarrassment

Hopefully it's just taking time for him to get what Nuno is wanting from him.

And Jose, and Mason...

 

[EQP]

I'm confident the team will be up for this game, regardless of who NES picks. They'll be riding the positive wave from the City result and many of these players will want to impress the manager and repay the faith he's showing in them.

 

[eddiebailey]

Don't get how Markanday is overlooked here.
Would have expected Fagan Walcott also. Maybe they havent been on any video material yet.

Edit: Also expect Devine there

Devine has not been with us two years so he would need to be registered on the A list.

I dont think it'll be an embarrassment if we go out. I dont think most care. I dont anyway.

We're going to get bantered no matter what with this tournament.

Go out early playing kids? Spursy
Go out in the knockouts? Spursy
Lose in the final? Spursy
Win our first trophy in years? Farmer's league, tinpot, they should have won etc, etc.

I'd much rather the banter was for winning the thing.

 

[Wilsy]

Kane 'unfit', Rodon injured and none of the starters from Sunday playing, I reckon Nuno goes with:

Gollini
Doherty CCV Romero Davies
John Winks Lo Celso
Clarke Scarlett Gil

Would personally prefer Paskotsi and Sessegnon at full back but appreciate that's a big risk and probably better to have some experience to balance the squad a bit better.
