Much as i think we could beat them and would be nice break the cup hoodoo i think we are too depleted and thin as a squad to risk it! Id go something like:
Norris
Donacian Chambo Wilson Clements
Huws Dozzell Judge
El Mizouni Jackson Roberts
Huws no more than 60 and Judge similar maybe 70. |  |

Perhaps Ndaba for Chambers if we want to rest the first XI. Plus surely Emmanuel will get a run out at right back? | |

Yeah I’d make 10 changes with only Jackson staying in the starting XI. If Judge plays would probably depend on how he pulls up. Personally I’d play a stronger team in the trading.com thing as we have a chance of winning that. |  |

2017-18 in the first round we won 2-0 away to plucky League Two outfit Luton Town with a brace from current Premier League striker David McGoldrick – one of 5 wins in a row to start the season. Sigh. |  |

Team seems about right, but as to "cup hoodoo", that phrase was coined back in the 50s when Wembley finals were marred by a succession of match-ending injuries which, with no subs, reduced the whole nation's chances of witnessing a special match - it was the one live game available to all on telly.
Town, on the other hand, have been dragged to murky Tuesday night destinations by a manager who didn't, by-and-large, rate the cup competitions, as witnessed by half-hearted selections in order to save ourselves for the Saturday big 'un such as Burton at home, which we still didn't always manage to win.
Not to mention the hundreds of difficult fan journeys to dark places that got still darker when the teamsheet was read out. Hardly a hoodoo. | |

We have got past the 1st round of the league cup twice in 6 years, and haven't won at all in the FA Cup in the last 9 years.
Three wins in our last twenty cup games.
I make cup hoodoo right. |  |

I'm not that arsed.
I think we could do with avoiding a mass fixture pile up & I'd rather us take the checkatrade more seriously as we have a more realistic chance of winning it.
Obviously it would be nice to win tomorrow but for me I'd be happy if we got more minutes into the likes of Judge, Huws etc & come through it without further injuries. Basically a glorified pre season friendly. [Post edited 12 Aug 2019 10:50]

It's the Leasing.com Trophy now. | |

I think that'll be close to how we line up.
Emmanuel at RB, Donacien moved across to CB, Kenlock to start, but apart from that i can see Huws, Dozzell and Judge all playing. | | | |

Why not go with a strong team? After the draw yesterday getting a win would keep or improve confidence. A loss, particularly if it ended up being a bad one, would seem to stop our momentum a little (if we have any) | | | |

Cup hoodoo? Surely that myth assumes Town have tried to win a cup tie in recent memory? And you then add to the nonsense by proposing a reserve team against their probable reserve team in a tie both teams will attempt to lose. More farce than hoodoo. | |

Against the same opposition who were 2 divisions lower than us!
How depressing when you read it like that. |  |

For me it's about giving minutes to the players that need them most, but I wouldn't completely rip our team apart. My line up would be:
Norris
Donacien, Chambers, Ndaba, Kenlock
Dozzell, Huws
El Mizouni, Judge, Roberts
Norwood
A great chance for Norris to stake his claim. The game couldn't come around quick enough for Chambers to go in and put Saturday behind him. Ndaba isn't far away from the first team, so a chance to put his name into contention, and Kenlock will only benefit from minutes at this stage of his career.
Dozzell is desperately short of minutes lately and really needs to start proving something, while it's another opportunity for Huws to get closer to full match fitness. El Mizouni looked good in pre-season, so this is a chance to build on that. Judge and Roberts both looked off the pace at the weekend, but could be crucial for us if they could discover a bit of form.
Norwood is still adjusting to a higher level of football, but as a striker he'll be itching to get out there and try and find his goalscoring form. A goal against Championship opposition would be huge for him.
Can't wait for this game. It'll be a great measure of how far we've come from last season. |  |

I really wasnt expecting 'Cup Hoodoo' line to be so controversial or take up such importance in this thread haha. I'm happy to retract 'cup hoodoo'. Just wondered what people thought team wise.
My back four was based on chambers on playing once and Donacian needing to bed into that RB slot. Wilson needs minutes in his legs. | |
