I hope we don’t make the mistake of trying the rest anyone. I want a long cup run

There a difference between putting in two youngsters for some energy eg Donley and Gill vs hoping Skippberg can run the MFStrongest team to start. Get comfortable lead then take best players off to protect them for united away.
Where have you pulled this from?It's not.
In previous years it only became available when all rounds could use it.
Strong team , build some momentum and players like Rich , BJ and Gil to more confidence. It’s the only way. We lose having mixed up the side then manure game becomes almost must win. Keep saying why should we let Burnley go through who will have even less ambition to win the cup than we do? If they can go through then so can we. We are home, top 5 going reasonably well with players to come back so no need to piss it all up playing a 3rd string. If we play any academy players I hope it’s just one or two playing with our strongest players possible.Wouldn't be shocked to see Madders and Van de Ven on the bench, and if so they are given 15 minutes to get some minutes in the tank. Would have been a great game to give Veliz a start, and hopefully Donley gets some minutes.

Be great to get to a final at least. Last one must be 91?We need to win this game by hook or crook with the players available.
Hope Ange realises how important this cup is. After this we go into a fairly quiet month.
We can win this cup, and get top four and that would be an amazing season.
Get the job done then bring on some kids.Vicario

May God rest his soulHarry Pitman (16) was murdered when going to watch the New Year fireworks by a black gang thug while others partied while he was dying with a stab wound to his neck! His mum couldn't bring herself to bin his dinner she made for him when he got home. He died 11:45 before the fireworks show.
Harry's family had a vigil singing Tottenham songs because he was a Spurs fan and they have asked the club and fans to commemorate his life with a minute's applause on the 16th minute in the next home game.
The GB News woman newsreader paused reading this out and had tears in her eyes. I'm surprised this website doesn't have a separate subject dedicated to this fallen fan.

Pretty much this.Our best chance for a trophy this year, a big gap after this too so no excuses to go wild with team selection like we did in the League Cup

Hopefully we can have a new signing creep onto that bench
Best team with two youngsters. Would have said Veliz but he’s probably out. I’d be tempted by Donley and maybe one of the centrebacks.
With a whole week to recuperate, yes.With one eye on Man Utd the following week!
8 or 9 available first teamers, with maybe Phillips/Dorrington and/or Donley in midfield...

When I watched us win it in 1991 on the telly, I'd never dream that we wouldn't win it again for at least 33 years.It’s absolutely disgusting we haven’t won it since then.
Are we going to have replays in the 3rd round this season?
I see plenty of news saying it they are looking to scrap them but can't see anything definitive so we will have replays this season?
