Thank you Longmyd and Rugeley for the welcome.
Be good for the 2 new guys to get some time against Blackburn similar to Agadou when we played Bristol City

To be honest' I'd sooner leave them out and just have them train in the squad, to get upto speed, no point risking them getting injured in a cup game before they've kicked a ball in anger in the league.

Welcome Waggy. I agree with you, if they are good enough and match ready get them out there. The sooner they gel on the pitch, the sooner we get benefit from the spend and help to getting the points needed. Injury is a possibility anytime, but they have been playing regularly so should be match fit.

Welcome Waggy, I'm with you on this one. Players can just as easily get injured in training so let's get them in the squad and up to speed. Also a good way to do it as let's be honest we don't have the luxury of concentrating on cups this season, so it's a nice practice run before playing in the league ?

Hi Martin.
I appreciate your concerns re possible injuries during the cup gain however, there are a few injuries during training.
Surely better to get some game time this weekend than suddenly being exposed first time to a baptism of fire at Anfield

Welcome waggy, I totally agree, they need to get the pace and feel of games over here, and indeed their team mates traits and movements.
Injuries are always going to be a concern in any game, even 5 a sides.
A victory and association with the fans can cement them into the club and help with the atmosphere of an field. Let's get em in if VP sees fit and hit the ground running.
