Agreed with the exception of Bent in for Pavy and Taraabt in for Modric. MAYBE Hudds in for Zok.

[LedleybetterthanSol]

I think we should not be playing the likes of Woodie, Modric, O'Hara, Zokora, Defoe or Pavvy in this game.

If our B team can't win it we don't deserve to go to Wembley, we are leading 4-1 to a championship team after all for christ sake.

[vasilli07]

I wouldn't want to take the risk in this game seeing how strong Burnley can be. Alnwick is making his debut, we should have our 1st team defence to protect him. 4 of our 1st team players are out, so we only fielding 2/3 of our 1st team.

If we want to rest players, let's do it in the game against Man Utd whom we have a small chance of beating at OT.

[Phillyspur]

They have no choice but to come at us for goals. Ideal situation for a 4-5-1 with Bent alone up top (maybe Defoe). Include Hudd in midfield to feed him those long passes. One breakaway goal and we are home free.

[Hauler]

I want to see Taarabt start. I would also like to see Danny Rose out there on the left cut it up. I mean we have a 3 goal lead why not let some of the younger guys have a night out. John Bostock and Dean Parret(misspell)would also be some choices for bench.

[AudereEstFacere]

----------------Alnwick--------------
Gunter----Woodie----Dawson----BAE
Bentley--Hudds-Modric-Zokora--O'Hara
-----------------Bent----------------

We'll draw 1-1.

Bent not even on bench.

[vasilli07]

If Bent is not injured, this could well meant that he could be off very soon...but well GDS is in...hope to see him come on...

[The Double]

[jumhed]
