Rample Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Shouldn't be risking anyone against Torquay, and to be honest I'm not sure I would against Liverpool either. A couple of rounds further on then maybe. If our reserves/youngsters can't beat Torquay I'm not sure they have a future in professional football. Lost track of who has been farmed out recently but fringe players like Rooney, Thompson, Osula and so on are more than capable. The not so sures like Oduroh are going to have to be trusted to step up, and those bubbling under like Aghatise have got to get a chance at some point so why not now. Can't keep running our players into the ground, and certainly can't risk defensive injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Papa John Trophy has shown us that often youngsters fail to beat a team of senior players from a division a few tiers below them.

You only have to recall what a tough physical experience it was for the youth side against Chorley. We'll need the likes of Stearman and perhaps Smith and Collins in there to give us an experienced backbone. Tamworthram and 48 hours 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't keep running our players into the ground, and certainly can't risk defensive injuries. Obviously Thompson, Oduroh and Rooney will play so long as they're fit. My recollection is that Aghatise has hardly been fit all season and checking he didn't feature in the U21s last time out, so is presumably still out. Nunn captained that last U21 team so that's why I have him on the bench in my proposed Torquay selection. But the Academy has been decimated by our recent woes and I don't think it's anything like strong enough to use as the basis for a team in a game of men's football like this. And we must also remember that, following those financial woes, a cup run can be a huge bonus for us, getting to the third or fourth round and drawing a "glamorous" Premier League side. Sadly we are in that position where it all helps. 48 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair comment about injuries but youngsters should be able to play in these games without being run into the ground. The senior players are more prone to injury, take longer to recover from them and are the ones at risk of exhaustion if they play too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Logan Josh Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I live 90 miles from Torquay and 140 miles from Pride Park. So a rare chance for me to see the Rams. Tickets shouldn't be that hard to come by. However, instead I'll be driving 165 miles up to Chesterfield (and back again) for a nephew's daughter's dedication service. Sigh. At least I can record it from terrestrial TV. Let's hope for Bristol Rovers in Round 2... COYR! angieram, Nishfan and DavesaRam 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
