Match Thread Barnsley vs. Everton - Wednesday 26th August - Capital One Cup Second Round - 19:45 KO

LOL...so this game is a must win and the Spurs game is a must win.

So which is it? Play a really strong side on Wed and have them come out lethargic on Saturday? Or give the back ups their chance and play the strongest side possible on Saturday?

We should be able to put a strong side out for both.

People are talking about only making one or two changes from today's game though...we will need to make changes all over the pitch IMO.

Why?

Do you want the same team as today to play Spurs? I don't.

How many of the 11 that started today would make your first 11 next Saturday?

Difficult question because my starting 11 would nearly always be different to Mr Martinez'!

Enjoyed the preview @ijjysmith shame we only get to read one a year from you due to us being absolutely crap in the competition.

Regarding the game, think we will win 2-1 after going a goal down and all of us going ffs here we go again. Goals from Stuart Barlow and Terry Phelan should do the trick.

COYB!!

 

[The Equaliser]

Live on Sky so they are expecting an upset.

2-0 to Barnsley who will be fuming at not getting their 15% Stones cut.

Better keep Stones on the bench for this one.

Fair enough mate...I'm not football managery enough to try to think about the starting 11 for both games.

I reckon we are making wholesale changes either Wed or Sat. I know which match I'd be willing to field the weaker side in.

 

[Bilko]

nice one ijjy, wouldn't it be nice to play Holgate and Stones against Barnsley

 

[Steel City Blue]

Today was on of those we won't get anything today matches and I was right, on to the next Barnsley!

I think we really need a win at Barnsley for nothing more than confidence for Spurs away.

Everton have said tomorrow's the last day you can order tickets up to 14.00 so if anyone's thinking about it get yourself to Oakwell, be nice to get somewhere near a stand full behind that goal

 

[welshtoffee]

We better win as it's my 2 young sons 1st away match.....Dont let me down EVERTON .

Nice preview.

This is how i think we will line up:
---------------Robles----------------
Browning----Jags-Barry-----Oviedo
----------------Besic-----------------
Deulofeu--Cleverly-Osman--Mirallas
----------------McAleny-------------------

If they're signed by then then it's Mori for Barry. And maybe that Uruguayan for McAleny. Pretty strong team tbf.

CBA with this cup really, would be stupid to care given our recent history with this comp.

I'm 18 and still haven't been alive to see Everton win something

 

[ijjysmith]

You know what?

I've just sodding realised it wasn't this round we went out in last year was it?

We got a bye due to the Europa.

Strong side, win is important, need to go into the Spurs game with the confidence a win can give us. Over in 90 minutes as well
