Match Doncaster [H] 19:45 wed 24-09-2025 League Cup 3rd Round

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

See Wolves have changed their entire team for tonight....bizarre, what else they going to have a crack at this season.....

Must fancy getting a result against us at the weekend
 
Muani and Davies unavailable.

Kinsky
Spence Romero Danso Udogie
Sarr Bentacur Gray Johnson
Xavi Tel

Not counting Vicario, these are the only fit 1st team squad players who could be subs:
Austin, Porro, VDV, Palhinha, Bergvall, Odobert, Kudus and Richarlison

I guess Byfield will be the 9th man but I would rest Palhinha and have LWB on the bench. Maybe Scarlett or AN Other for Richy?
Edit: Scarlett is in the 1st team squad.
Great...apparently Muani has only missed one game through injury in his entire career?

Get a Couple early goals then bring on the likes of Thompson, Byfeild and Barnnet.
Don't think Danso should be playing alongside Davies. Davies is almost a retired player and Danso should be playing with Romero or VdV in order do strenghten their partnsership, as he's our 3rd choice CB. If we are winning give Davies some minutes.
 
Yeah apparently Davies is injured anyway so he's definitely out
I think we are just keeping him as a presence. Seems to gets well with everyone and if I'm correct I've read somewhere he's interested in a manageria carreer or something like that. Would be nice to keep him at the club as he's a role model professional, but I don't think he will play much this season.

Yeah i think your right but still. I expect him to be capable of playing against Doncaster
 
i hope people advocating we start teenagers tomorrow saw Liverpool and Chelsea scape past Saints and Lincoln tonight.

Serious team tomorrow!

-Bergvall on for Xavi after the half if we can get up by 2 or more goals, on at 65' if not.
-Benta on for Sarr after the half if up by 2 or more goals, or at 65' if not
-Kudus and VdV whole game off if possible
-Possible sub early rest for Romero if we secure the win early

Should be enough for a comfortable win, but if the players don't show appropriate seriousness towards their task, anything can happen. I'm sure Frank is on top of that already though...

First thing is clubs all have 25 man squads.
This is a chance to give your second string competitive minutes early in the season.

Then realistically the chances are you get one of the big 6 in the semis and probably one of the top 4 in the final who go full strength.

Then add in you get hardly any money for this competition.

You’re much better off protecting your premier league status.

It’s a very logical approach clubs take to this competition.
