Team for Wimbledon 19:30 - Aug 26 with 3144 views | slade1 | So what team do we put out against Wimbledon? Do we play the 'fringe' players so we dont risk any injuries or do we play a team that is near to the one that will play Fulham Saturday so they can have match time to gel and get used to each other? |  | | |  |

Team for Wimbledon on 19:38 - Aug 26 with 3065 views | urbanpenguin | I think it will be a mix. All the new players need to get game time in the system and working with each other, so I think it's a really useful game. I can see Phillips starting, and a few others, but can also see them getting subbed ahead of the weekend. Perhaps with a shortage of front players, Delap will rest and AL-Hamidi will play up front |  | |  |

AAH to start against his old club would be the classy choice, so expect that from KMcK. Lots of players yet to kick a ball for us this season, so something like: Walton Clarke (if fit) - Fridge - Burgess - Townsend Phillips - Cajuste Harness - Chaplin - Taylor AAH Might be too early for O'Shea / Clarke, but wouldn't be a surprise to see them get a few minutes too. |  |

I have it the same. Wouldn't even have Delap on the bench either. Needs to be completely looked after. Imagine 60 minutes max for the new boys. Taylor might get the nod ahead of Harness. |  |

Slicker Johnson O'Shea Burgess Townsend Phillips Cajuste Taylor Chaplin J Clarke Szmodics (reason for having Taylor and Szmodics a bit out of position is for game time, also formation is not set in stone and will respond to the way AFC Wimbledon set themselves up.) |  |

Team for Wimbledon on 14:42 - Aug 27 with 2001 views | _clive_baker_ | Walton Edmundson Woolfy Burgess Townsend Cajuste Luongo Taylor Chaplin Harness Al-Hamadi Taylor spectacularly out of position here, but I wanted to shoehorn that 3 in. Get Phillips, O'Shea, Clarke on for the final half an hour to get some minutes into them. Only reservation might be ability to move on a couple of those if cup tied, but I wouldn't have thought it would be too much of a problem. Then Saturday: Muric Johnson O'Shea Greaves Davis Morsy Phillips Hutchinson Szmodics Clarke Delap |  | |  |

Ah, yes, very true, I knew that (but forgot.) Would we want to cup tie Al Hamadi or Ladapo ? That forward position is a difficult one to fill without risking Delap. |  |

Shouldn't matter about cup tying them as most of their suitors will be out within a round or two (if they aren't already) |  |

Agree with both lineups there I think, maybe start Phillips just to get 60 mins in to him then bring Massimo on for last 30 in the cup game? |  | |  |

I see the rationale, however, if you were Muric what would you think if you are selected for the reserves? Does that mean your dropped and won't be playing against Fulham? I'm sure that the communication at the club is very good and it depends on how those individual conversations go. We can only speculate, and then speculate further once the team sheet is announced. 🤣 Agree though. I expect he would want a solid game to build understanding with teammates and confidence both ways. |  | |  |

Slightly off topic but does anyone agree with me that the cup tied rule is ridiculous? For example..... Szmodics has played a cup game for Blackburn which means he can't play in the same cup for us, yet he has played league games for Blackburn but is allowed to play league games for us. I have never seen the point in this rule! |  | |  |
