Given our injury situation at the moment, I will be extremely disappointed if he doesn't put at least three academy players in for the cup tie. It would be disastrous to have everything cascade into more injuries.
I do believe the PL2 team have played teams of that level in the Pizza Cup, they certainly can hold their own.
As much as I'm upset that we suddenly have so many players injured, we should be able to field an academy team + Gabriel and Saliba and do just fine.
You would risk Gabriel and Saliba?
Given that Neto is cup-tied, I'd play
Setford (or Raya)
Nichols - Timber - Kiwior - Tierney (if fit, move MLS here if not)
Nwaneri - Jorginho - MLS (or Salah-Eddine if MLS needs to play LB)
Sterling - Edwards - Butler-Oyedeji (or maybe Martinelli for form)
I was referring to the Spuds game, not the cup tie. But yeah, for the Bolton match your lineup looks good. I think there's something to be said for letting Setford have a go. We're never going to sus out whether he's got elite potential if we don't put him in those situations now.
Ah, well that game we could play Gunnersaurus and still win.
