Matchday: Stevenage v Birmingham 05 Feb 2025

Getting to the business stage of this competition now, but I think CD will still use rotation of players to a certain extent.
My team prediction...

Peacock-Farrell
Bielik, Hanley, Davies, Cochrane.
Gardner-Hickman, Leonard
Yokoyama, Dowell, Anderson
May.

Subs... Allsop, Klarer, Laird, Iwata, Jutkiewicz, Dykes, Wright

It’s an interesting position to be in at the moment do we push a strong team for Newcastle because it’s Premier League opposition but in a cup game where we have no expectation or do we put a strong team out for Stevenage knowing it’s a trip to Wembley

Here’s your team

Stanno finally gets us ahead.

All that was required

I have just seen the highlights of the game and was reasonably impressed with the whole team's performance.
The goal was really well worked, Dykes drawing a defender away allowing space for Leonard's beautifully executed pass to Stansfield, who finished superbly.
Also, some strong advancing with the ball at feet by Klarer allowing the midfield to push further forward.
