Hell change the full 11 from the weekend but some of those will fill the bench. | |

I’d say he has taken it pretty seriously in the last two games as well. Winner goes through tonight, like it was said last night it’s a potential day out at Wembley. There’s going to be 11 changes but it’ll be a strong side with first team players on the bench as well. [Post edited 9 Nov 2021 12:15]

I quite like the idea of still being in two cup competitions in mid November. What's not to like. As at this moment in time we can go to Wembley four times this season, how refreshing is that! | | | |

Considering it'll be a completely changed 11 I think it still shows its the lowest priority. Weaker team than the FA Cup and league. It just happens we have so much strength in depth | | | |

The first team squad basically has enough quality for 2 teams. Some of the players are desperate for game time. | |

Hladky Donacien - Woolfenden - Nsiala - Penney (or Kenlock) Harper - El Mizouni Aluko - Fraser - Barry Pigott Pigott, Harper, Fraser could really do with good minutes tonight. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

'given the ex Town connection' - I doubt that even comes into the thinking or planning. | |

I certainly hope not. If this becomes about ego, then we have problems. | |

It probably will, from both sides. Whether they openly admit that or not is different story, but it will be in the minds. | | | |
No youngsters tonight on 12:28 - Nov 9 with 1968 views | franz_tyson | Don’t see the problem with having no youngsters. We’ve got loads of fringe players who needs games. Youngsters should get their on merit, not because it’s the Papa Johns Trophy. We’ve had loads of young kids who’ve played previously in this trophy and they’ve since left the club and got nowhere near the first team. Get them good loans if they need first team action. | | | |

It will be 11 changes so can't see that it is taking it seriously still, we just have ahuge squad. Personally I'd have stuck the kids on the bench and given the key men the night off ahead of Sunday as don't see the point in being rested if yous till have to warm up and may have to play half an hour | |

Sometimes good to see some of our kids in the context of our other first team players, I think? For me, it's also a bit more intriguing for us all to see if some of our kids are ready for the step up, as opposed to seeing the 2nd string of the seniors. | |

I’d rather the best of our youngsters are doing well away from here on loan. It matters more than in this trophy where we’ve seen youngsters handle themselves pretty well on occasions and then disappear for good. Not sure this trophy is a stepping stone to the first team. I think there’s such a gulf between 23’s and the first team. A loan out seems to be the next logical step upfrom the 23’s. And our 2nd string are actually pretty decent quality who needs games. | | | |
No youngsters tonight on 13:22 - Nov 9 with 1555 views | Swansea_Blue | Could this still give us a route to Wembley? I'd be happy enough to have a half-serious push at it if so. We've plenty of senior players who aren't getting much game time so yeah, let's throw them all on. The kids will have their time again. | |

FFS J2 He's hardly taking it seriously when it's not the first choice X1. And the point is not necessarily to ensure you win the game, it's to give minutes to those that need it. he is playing 1st team squad that is short of minutes, i.e. Pigott, Hdlacky, Fraser etc. That's absolutely perfect. I'd be disappointed if these players weren't playing, especially as they didn't play against Oldham. Some people just basj for bashing sake sometimes | |

I've been very supportive of Cook. I asked a question. Hardly bashing for the sake of it which you would have know if you had paid any attention to my posts. Wasn't it you asking why I thought it would turn around a couple of months ago? | |

Strikes me that with some posters Cook can’t do right for doing wrong, not necessarily you J2. But, he puts the kids on tonight and he gets accused of neglecting the first teamers like Pigott and Barry and of not taking the competition seriously, so skipping a chance to get to Wembley. Plays a strong squad and he’s ignoring the kids. Some people just don’t like him. I get it. | |

I don't disagree with that. I don't care about this cup and I got the impression from his words pre-season he would rather not bother with it. Might well be wrong. | |

The situation has changed since pre-season - Cook now has a strong squad, possibly with more quality players than he might have expected to get - so the kids aren't quite as important now as they might have been had the players not come in - so he's now looking at the EFL trophy as a way of giving the recent non-starters a run out - and let's face it, they should still be able to beat Colchester comfortably... | |
