Do we play our 1st team on Wednesday or change it. Personally football is about confidence and we should stick with last night's team. Get another win under their belts and then on to the weekend (then again we could get beat and confidence is shot again. I hate being an Everton fan at times)

He will start Patterson and Keane and dobbin harrison if fit. to be honest this cup has never interested me. would sooner have a good fa cup run and win that 1.????????.
24 Sep 2023 19:52:47
Reserves for me we need everyone fit for Luton and Bournemouth.
24 Sep 2023 20:17:41
Hope so Ron Mac buddy.
24 Sep 2023 20:26:53
I'd take the FA cup win for getting beat at Villa.
24 Sep 2023 20:47:27
We need to get as many points in the Premiership as possible if we get hit with a points reduction, I would keep my main Team out of the Carabou cup we can’t take any injuries.
25 Sep 2023 03:40:22
Reserves we are only 6 games in i would play the same team me we could do with a cup run won't be easy Wednesday though need to be on are A game if we are going to get anything.

I’d love to win this cup. It’s eluded our history so we need to add this to our collection. Full strength first 11 for me please. Never change a winning formula.
25 Sep 2023 10:45:59
Play best team - we aren’t going to win league and can’t start every season where highlight is to stay in league surely - go out and try and win the cup.
25 Sep 2023 11:23:46
Yep I agree Sobs. Why shouldn't we give it a go.
A few changes but core of our strongest line up for me.
25 Sep 2023 12:34:52
AgreeMocker to give it a try but not at the expense of our best payers, good opportunity for our second string to show us how they are progressing mate.
25 Sep 2023 12:51:23
I would suspect that will be the way Sean goes GB, but I would like us go into every competition with a win mentality.
Fine margins, we play a weak team we get walloped then confidence takes a hit and the Dyche bashing starts again, play a strong line up progress and build up confidence hopefully.
Just got to trust in Dyche whichever he chooses GB.
25 Sep 2023 13:04:05
I think we should be looking to rest a few so they’re fresh for Luton. Our second string should still be competitive against what will also be a weakened Villa team. Danjuma, Patterson, Keane, Ongango and Harrison should all play.
25 Sep 2023 15:14:28
Double edged sword really. Confidence is key but villa are tough opposition. The confidence the 1st team has could dissappear if we get beat on Wednesday, then we back to being a nervous team against Luton and Bournemouth. I'd mix it up a bit.
25 Sep 2023 22:00:03
Defo not first team. Be just our luck that DCL, Beto or Branths pick up an injury. Luton and Bournemouth games key to our survival. Fk the cup.
26 Sep 2023 09:55:58
Absolutely smashandgrab.
26 Sep 2023 10:56:03
I see the logic smash-and-grab but for me I would like to see us attack this cup, realistically the only competition we have any Chance of winning, as unlikely as it is.
Luton and Bournemouth are key games agree but we are only 6 games into the season and still in September! We have a long to recover and our squad should be able to rotate enough to manage those games, not forgetting it's the international break after the Bournemouth game.
It would also be nice for the away fans to see us actually go into the game with a team set out to win and not a sod it if we lose attitude which as a club we need move away from, as pointed out in another post we now go into every season classing survival as success.
Remember Nil Satis, Nisi Optimum! ALWAYS! ???.

We just won our first game. Confidence will be sky high. Keep that team and best the villa. COYB.
27 Sep 2023 03:04:34
like to see core play well again. Patterson in for Young, Harrison in for Gueye.
