So if there was any doubt about how Harry feels about the cup, we have the reserves and players in the shop window out tonight.
No actual striker there is there in the starting line up unless we are expecting Adel, SWP and Hoilet to use there height advantage in the middle. [Post edited 27 Aug 2014 19:12]

First glance you look at that side and think they'll possibly get battered. Then you look again and think, perhaps not. |  |

Got to be the worst line up I have seen for a long time |  |

Am I alone in thinking that this is actually a pretty good team. Ale, Hoilett, Onouha, Simpson, Phillips- even Adel's in there... |  | | |

Yes. For me its a typical Harry statement.....these are you're reserves if thefirst team get injured Mr Fernandes. Expect them to lose. | |

Taarabt played the lone striker a few times our last go round in the Prem. We had some pretty good results as I remember.
Keep in mind as well that every other player in the starting XI was with us last year. Would love to see this lot (especially Faurlin and Simpson) dominate and give Harry something to think about for Saturday. |  | | |

Should be entertaining at least! The defence should be solid but the rest, anything could happen. Wish I was there! [Post edited 27 Aug 2014 19:28]

Harry admits certain players are short of match fitness, particularly the new boys and then picks none of them? |  | | |

I was on the way home tonight praying that Harry would pick exactly the same XI as Spurs, with express instructions to get the f__k out there, show some effort, and purge Sunday's memory from their mind as quickly and conclusively as possible by piling in and battering a lower league team to get themselves back on track.
Looks like a pin the tail on the donkey lineup of reserves and frozen out players are going to wander about to yet another defeat instead (hope I'm wrong, some great players in that team, but this all looks very familiar) |  | | |

I just think he span the Tombola and these are the names that popped out. | |

Let's hope Adel plays well, we could do with a fit focused Adel. |  | | |

When I first looked at your post I thought, I disagree with that but then when I looked at it again I thought, actually, I agree.
You're right though. Anything could happen in this game and it probably will. |  |

A lot of flair, for want of a better word. It's either going to be a crushing defeat or a glorious easy victory you feel depending on whether or not they're that bothered. Probably the former. | | | |

No surprises there, then...
...2-0 the capitulation I predicted earlier is optimistic by that line up. Sick of life as a 'top' club.
Still going to be there on Saturday though!
U Rrrrrrsssssss!!!! |  |

Yun Suk-Yung must've sh@t in Harry's hat once for a joke or something. Poor bloke will never get a game. | | | |

True. After Traore's start to the season I had high hopes for him tonight. Must be injured? | | | |

Faurlin could control the game and score a hat trick and still not play Saturday | | | |

The enigma that is Taarabt. Frustrating genius maybe he can do something tonight. Remember Mark Hughes put him on the bench vs West Ham. We were appalling then Adel came on at sub scored a brilliant goal and lifted the atmosphere. We still lost but if someone could get his head or heart at Loftus Road would be a vital squad player. | | | |

Can see Adel doing well here - if he runs at them they will simply bounce off when trying to tackle. |  |

I think AT scored his only goal for Foolham away at Burton last season? |  |

suggests that Suk Yung is injured and not just out of favor?? |  | | |
