team for Fredrikstad

[ex hibitionist]

tricky, they may be minnows but they'll fight like dogs, be organised and fairly technical - don't underestimate Scandinavian clubs. Forest game on Sunday but we need to ensure a win on Thursday so we can maybe go to Norway to park the bus with a lesser XI. How much rotation?

I'd go:

Henderson
Munoz
Sosa
Richards
Lacroix
Lerma
Wharton
Devenny
Sarr
Mateta
Eze

Rest Guehi for Sunday, if he's cheered up by then, and Hughes - play a strongish side and aim to go two or three up earlyish so subs can ensure players are rested and back up players get a run out.

 

[Uphill]

A potential banana skin?
Hopefully not otherwise we will be the laughing stock of Europe.

Strong team and try to put them out of site in the first half then rest the players.

We will be far to strong for these chaps . I think of it as playing a league 1 team in a cup match ,they will huff and puff and might keep the score down but I think we will win this with something to spare and a nice relaxing trip next week

The first team has earned their crack at Europe , they are likely looking forward to it as much as us so would go with our strongest team (we all know what that is ) to start .If we are well on top it wont be too draining for Sunday . Subs brought on as knock in the goals 😉

Yeah, I think that is pretty spot on, partly as there aren’t many other options, Clyne and Esse are decent enough to be subs, and you could rotate Guehi and Hughes on to give others a rest but that’s about it.

Mateta is is the one I’m most worried about.
