QPR V NORTHAMPTON TOWN 1-0

I agree we do not need to treat this competition as seriously as the league Pamm but I do feel we need to build upon Saturday's win. Building up a run of wins (or even draws) as against loses is the way to go. Having said all that, I expect Ollie to make changes, including starting some of the younger squad members and giving match time to others. Is it too early for Caulker to make an appearance; an opportunity to have Smith show what he can do; or for JET to be given a run-out to improve his chances of being sold?

Lots to choose from, that is for sure! I would like to see Kakay or Hamalainen start, but if Baptiste plays I can see Ollie thinking that is too risky; whereas Furlong & Robinson (if Bidwell is fit for Saturday's game) makes more sense

That's not a bad reserve team!

I am pretty sure this happens every year? ......But then I just found this so perhaps not! Forgot we made it to round 3 last year! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36961111

A clip from the last meeting with Northampton 11 years ago:

I think the subs bench is rather interesting! I am guessing that if we look dominant and are ahead on goals then the youngsters (Chair & Petrasso) will get a run out, along with Baptiste; but if needed, there are other good options on the bench in the shape of Washington, Luongo and Wzsolek. COYRs!

Not very different to what people predicted with 9 changes.
I thought Olly was going to stick with one formation but this looks different from Saturday unless Furlong is playing CB and Manning wing back.
A strong bench so presumably we actually want to get through to round 2.
I had to Google Chair - he's a 19-year-old Belgian/Moroccan striker from our under-23s.
