Isn’t Caicedo suspended for Fulham? He’s definitely playing tonight.

Nope.

He avoided being booked Vs Ipswich so the period is now over for the 10 yellow card = 2 game ban thing.

Him limiting himself should be over.

Far too many. Though hopefully that is mainly "proper chels" and they let the owners know what they think.

Start Jacko, give him some minutes!

Who's here waiting with baited breath for the line up?

The return Of proper European football, the true elite level, nevermind that riff raff we have seen the past 2 days.

Conference league is where they all wish they could be!

Is he prioritising the Conference League over league position?

Knew he was gonna piss me off with his lineup again

Yes. Looks better on his CV.

If Palmer is on the right and Nkunku in the 10 that is arguably our best attacking line up.

Captain Is picked, so 2 of our our best 3 players starting. Best keeper starts, most promising youth defender, who us actually a right back and center back, rather than a CB player out of position like Chalo.

Our best left back. Is stronger than the side vs Ipswich and Brentford.

1 that is proper sh*t to George.

And 2, when did we bring back Michael Emenalo?

Did we put Keira on the bench tonight or something!

Only just noticed what an absolute conk KDH has.

Is it possible Palmer plays on right, Sancho on left, Nkunku at 10?

He’s thrown the league hasn’t he

Realistically speaking, there's nothing left to play for in the league. There's not a snowball's chance in hell we're beating any of Newcastle, Liverpool or Forest. Would have been ok had we won the last two games, but now it's over.

Conference league is our only path to European football for next season.

Can we stop trying to make Reece James in midfield work, it never does.

Why are we playing so many players who should be resting in what should be a dead rubber game against a side that shouldn't pose the remotest of challenges even if it was 0-0 in a competition that is nowhere near as important as trying to get 5th?

I'm not sure I'll even feel anything about this competition even if we get to the final.

We did that by drawing at Brentford and vs Ipswich.

And be he does not care about that. Winning this is better for his chances at another club, so is a decent run in the CWC.

Much more so than Ending up 4th or 5th.

Me, you, everyone on here, the tea lady, @CaitlinCFC fella all agree. But to maresca and his future endeavors, it looks to me conference league is his priority.

There is something absolutely f**king hilarious about Emenalo's son making his matchday squad debut while our current sporting directors have hit their reputational nadir with the fans. On the other hand, he's been a Cobham boy since the age of eight so maybe they have dollar signs in their eyes.

Bit of a gamble from Maresca - starting the first-choice attacking players in a dead rubber (we hope) at home in an effort to rekindle their confidence actually makes sense given recent performances. On the other hand, it could go wrong and a knackered side could piss away what's left of our league campaign at Fulham on Sunday. You also run the risk of alienating players like George who would expect to start these fixtures. Also if you want players to get their scoring confidence back why start Sancho over Madueke?

Reece in midfield seems like a bit of a risk too. Yet more inept squad planning.

Interesting lineup. Maybe Enzo's trying something now that he can. Nkunku, Jackson and Palmer looks a good fun/experiment.

Not sure why everyone seems so salty.

At home with a lead in a top, top European competition, vs the most successful team in the history of the great nation of Poland.

Proper Spoiled this lot are....
