and raise confidence.
the big question is what is our strongest team?
Probably easier to start with our weakest team and swap a few players out.
Nothing to lose but probably a lot to gain by giving some of the youngsters a game against league opposition.

Especially Walker given we’re not going to be bringing a winger in

Not sure, but would definitely like to see the youth blooded. Couldn't give a fuck about the carabao cup, I want to see our players develop.

Spot on
I would go with this too. A mix of youth and experience. If any of those players put in a performance, they should keep their place in the next league game.

Have to play Riis. He's scored and that's what he's paid to do. Had quite a poor game afterwards but, a goal deserves a start and will give him momentum hopefully..

You can’t possibly justify a back 5 vs Mansfield surely??

I think our strongest team is very debatable. I would be looking to play some of the poor bastards who after a year of terrible underperformance still never play/younger players who may improve on the stale wage grabbers.
Basically, after Hull, every fucker is droppable.
Bayliss/Rodwell-Grant/Riis again to keep the confidence up, etc

Give Bauer game time, he looked to be aggressive in pre season, we need more aggression from our Centre Halves.

I’m not saying we should play with a back 5. I personally prefer to play with wingers (not that we have many in the squad).
But FM came out after the game and said we’re not yet ready to play with 4 at the back, so unless he wants us to work on 4 at the back, I expect us to play with 5.
I want to see a mixture of players who should be allowed to stake a claim following the poor performance of many players yesterday, and also some youngsters.
Bauer needs to start and if he does okay and comes through it, he should take Lindsay's place at Reading.
