Or should we play our strongest line up against an excellent Portsmouth side?
We should go for it in this competition, winning breeds confidence. |  | | |  |

Excellent? Didn’t realise Pompey are a top four PL.
It’ll be a match between two better-than-average teams (by L1 standards) resting their better players. |  | | |

I think this season the schedule is so tight, and can get worse if there are any Covid cancellations in the future that this is just a game to rest everyone you can.
If you look at using the majority of the 7 subs from Tuesday, plus a couple of senior players you can put a decent team out
------------------------------Cornell---------------------------
Donacien-----Wilson----------------Ndaba--------Kenlock
---------------------Nolan---------Huws-----------------------
Sears---------------------Dobra------------------------Bennetts
---------------------------Jackson-------------------------------
Bar Sears, who could swap for Lankester, all those guys probably need a game, and it's still a strong enough team |  |

Why rest players? I don't get it. The league is a priority but any competition you win in breeds confidence. There is always a risk of injuries but weigh that up against confidence and I think we should go for it. | | | |

In fairness, that's not a bad team actually. I don't agree that we should rest players but that's a good team and shows we have some depth. | | | |

I think you'll find they're one of the biggest teams in Europe. |  |

We might see McGuiness as he’s definitely not playing on Tuesday! We might be a bit stronger than we’re expecting with next Saturday off now. We’ll definitely see some changes especially in midfield as I don’t expect Bishop or Judge to start. We will see a very very young side at Crawley on Tuesday. |  | | |

As they're the Biggest Club South Of London we should just hand them a bye and save everyone some time. |  |

Wonder if they ever got their hundreds of coaches fixed in the end? | |

I think we should play the entire B-Team, to give them some match practice and to see if anyone of them has potential to step up at a moment's injury in the A-Team. |  | | |

Agree with this, but I would start Simpson with Jackson an option from the bench.
Bennetts, Dobra and Huws (along with Simpson) would all benefit from 90 minutes in the first team.
I had also wondered if McGavin could get any game time, with Nolan playing more advanced and Dobra wide right. | | | |

If we play our strongest team I expect us to be too strong at home for Pompey. I'm sorry I don't get it. 2 weeks until our next meaningful game. We must field our strongest side. | | | |

Rest players . Dare I say as forever the optimist , we've more chance winning promotion than winning the FA Cup so why risk any more long term injuries ?
As for winning breeds confidence , I'd rather have a fully fit set of 11 players starting every league game than concentrating on any cup game and trying to get some "confidence" whilst we're still in this awful league | |

| Do we rest players saturday on 16:18 - Nov 5 with 2142 views | chrismakin |
with how small our squad is and how important certain players are to us, i'd rest bishop, edwards, etc |  |

Rest players if they need it but wouldn't make wholesale changes. I think our bad run last year started after we had a group of cup games together and the first team didn't play for ages. It'll be a gap of 2 weeks after Portsmouth assuming a young/reserve team will play Crawley so why not keep building things with the first team? |  | | |

Holy
Chambers - Woolfenden - McGuinness - Ward
Huws - Nolan - Judge
Lankester - Jackson - Edwards
Then against Crawley:
Cornell
Donacien - Wilson - Nsiala - Kenlock
McGavin - Dozzell - Gibbs
Sears - Hawkins - Bennetts
Possibly risk Bishop against Portsmouth instead of Judge but, with Dozzell out for Shrewsbury and Hull we'll need to make sure we keep him fit. | |

We get a cheque for every round we compete in.
It's the only serious income we're likely to get this side of Xmas so I say try to get to rd3. |  |

| Do we rest players saturday on 19:16 - Nov 5 with 1942 views | factual_blue |
Yes. We should do one or other of those options.
Or even both. |  |

Woolfenden will not be playing that is for sure as he will only be part way through his isolation. |  | | |

With the new Covid restrictions are the youths even allowed to train so guess we have to put out reasonably strong sides in both games. |  |
