The squad strength really is absurd 11:07 - Nov 5 with 649 viewsAsa

We could potentially name the following tomorrow (subject to fitness):

Hladky
Donacien / Woolfenden / Burgess / Penney
El Mizouni / Harper
Aluko / Chaplin / Fraser
Piggott

We wouldn't have involved a single player that started on Tuesday.

When you consider that the team above could be named and a bench of Walton, Nsiala, Morsy, Burns, Celina, Edwards and Bonne, in case we needed them and that wouldn't even include Barry or Carroll or the likes of Coulson or Norwood, it really is a fantastic squad which goes to show what an advantage we might have later on in the season as some of the smaller, unfashionable clubs lose players through injury or try and force key players with niggles to continue in vital matches.

However, if Cook is stating “We are approaching tomorrow’s game as if it’s the biggest game of our season and that will be reflected in the team selection.” then presumably that's the strongest side (potentially unchanged from Tuesday) then use the XI above on Tuesday to give the current eleven a whole weeks recovery for Oxford.

Would also be two sides that should comfortably win those ties, gets everyone involved pretty much and keeps momentum for the preferred league side.

I'd like to see Harper in the 10 personally, especially if Cook thinks he's better going forward than in either of the holding roles.

Would be interesting to see us play a 433, so Fraser and Harper can both play as 8s. That would force Chaplin out wide though - plus Cook never changes (understandably at the moment) so seems unlikely.

I think this squad has been assembled with the effect injuries etc will have on other sides at this level firmly in mind. It might well be we start to overtake some / many through January - March (this is not a firm prediction though!).
