    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.
