Tranmere 1-1 (4-2 Pens) Bolton (Cup)

Next up is Tuesday's Cup game.

Should we play the kids or try to iron out some of our first team problems like defending and scoring?

I hope we start with this side against tranmere and Blackburn.

Bogdan
Baps
Knight 
Wheater
Tierney
Spearing
Medo
Odelusi 
Hall 
Eagles (if fit)
Beckford

We need to attack from the off and we'll probably win both games comfortably

Im not fucking bothering.

Odelusi will have a blinder again but not get a look in in the league.

We will look like fucking barca against them, yet dougie will not change the team against blackburn, we will learn nothing, pointless exersise...

Doogie will play the kids I would think ..... agreed we will look better....then change back to the regulars for Blackburn.  It's OC all over again IMO.

I forgot this match was happening if im honest...

If we don't win this one Freedman should fall on his sword.

Tranmere have been dire.

Thats a win for them today then.

Maybe a cup run is somthing we dont need right now, staying in the champs and not having to look forward to a league fixture against these lot next year should be of paramount concern...

There's no way Tranmere will win. What we don't need is more injuries.

Yes, because we never lose to teams we should beat do we.

 

I suspect 1 3-0 victory to ease us into the next round

I suspect you are high.

Eagles is fit for tonight's match.

I'd like to see a team similar to this:-

Lonergan
Mears...Knights...Wheater...Tierney
.............Ream......
Lee..... ..........Odelusi
..........Pratley..
....Beckford....Eaves..

If I remember correctly his experimentation in the cup lead to him putting Sordell and Vela into the side last season, so once again you and Rebel are both making things up again for the sake of negativity.

Hopefully he uses this match to give Morirtz and Hall some more match practice, and possibly play Odelusi. 

For what it's worth despite his goals against Shrewsbury, I don't think Odelusi is ready for the first team, Hall's a better option for the wing at the moment.

I would go with bwfc team above. The bring on moritz and hall on for the 2nd half. I think we need a good 4 or 5 nil to get our season going. Tonight is that night!

Seeing as Odelusi is one of only a handful of players to actually find the net, I can't believe he won't play tonight. I also expect to see 90 minutes for Hall & Moritz.

But this is Dougie Freedman and we could just as easily see Zat Knight upfront for 90 mins.

24 Lonergan
02 Mears
04 Mills
15 Baptiste
31 Wheater
11 Hall
25 Vela
38 Odelusi
44 Medo
21 Pratley
32 Eaves

No Moritz. And Freedman wonders why he isn't match fit.

Can't understand why he isn't starting, as you say he will never be match fit if he never starts.

Nice to see Odelusi and Eaves starting though.

Must be taking the cup seriously............that's better than our league team.
