    Sparta Prague 1st leg away thread

    Thursday night @ 1745 UK time

    No idea what sort of form this lot are in but you’d think we’ll see some of the kids play a part in this.

    I think Mo is in consideration but should we start him on the bench & just give him some minutes in the 2nd half?

    Same with Nunez, start or bench?


    Maybe

    Kelleher
    Bradley
    Quansah
    Gomez
    Tsimikas
    Szoboszlai
    Endo
    McConnell
    Diaz
    Danns
    Koumas


    The big guns on the bench include Mo, Nunez, Gakpo, Harvey, Robbo , MacAllister etc
    Me, I’m either planning a holiday or I’m on one.

    They drew 1:1 with their main rivals this weekend

    Oh and…… I’ve got a ticket and will be there

    “We’ve conquered all of Europe”…… last away European game I was at was 3-3 in Seville where we were 3 up at half time and the one before that was Istanbul where we were 3 down at half time….. not sure what to expect here

      Big question is what we do with the side here, a few players back now but probably not fully fit, certainly not able to play 2 games in a week and with the City game at the weekend we probably need to manage quite a few players minutes, but this is an important game itself. I wonder if we might rest a few of the forward/attack minded players who are lacking fitness, play with a few kids for the first hour or so, try to stay in the game and give a few guys a run out in the last 30 against tired legs and a bit of game time ahead of the weekend
      The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

        I think it will be as it has been the last weeks, a mix of youth and experience plus guys playing a half each to rotate

        I expect Kelleher, Quansah, Tsimi, McConnell and possibly Danns to start

          Would like to see something like that, but reckon Virgil will start.

          Dom, Nunez and Salah to get hopefully 30 mins from the bench. Gakpo has been poor, and maybe tired so I'd like to see Danns start.
          * The above is posted in my opinion. Feel free to disagree.

            You should put that as your tag line!
            We are here for a good time not a long time....

              I want to see the U16s in this game.

              Sunday could be season defining. We need Dom, Alex and Endo fit and fresh in midfield and Mo and Darwin upfront for that game or we're going to struggle.

                I think we can start with a few more Academy players, but the bench will be strong if needed.

                  I think VVD will play 45 mins, I think Diaz needs a rest he's played alot of football recently

                    I see there were only 960 allocated tickets as well, small away crowd

                      We will need to respect Sparta Prague as they are a very decent side at home so we have to put out a decent side that is strong enough to get a result to take home & finish off Sparta.
                      Nope, don't need anger management, you just need to stop pissing me off!

                        Yeah I’d not be surprised to see Virg start but hopefully we can get the job done without him.

                          So either a similar team to Saturday with Darwin, Szobo and Endo coming on earlier (and Mo doing at least a cameo) or start with Darwin (for Gakpo), Szobo (for Big Macca) and Endo (for Gomez), but plan to take them off after a hour.

                              No, can't say anyone has posted saying they got a ticket.....
                              I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.
