[Nobody]

Carroll is nailed on to start here isn't it?

[Abra Dubravka]

Worst case has to be - Dubravka; Yedlin, Krath, Fernandez, Clark, Ritchie; Hendrick, Shelvey, Longstaff, Joe; Carroll

Would like to see us stop with the 5 at the back, although the CB's and Darlow are the only in form. It's plain to see we need more players higher up the pitch.   

 

[Optimistic Nut]

If Dubravka has a good game then the next league selection will be interesting.

We would get absolutely annihilated playing that lineup.

[CalmintheChaos]

Aye the mobility and work rate of Sean, Shelvey, wor andy and big joe ffs 

[Sean]

Tbf he did say worst case but still

Aye, that's why I said the worst case - but worryingly it'll likely not be too far off what starts.

Think Wilson will be rested, and may as well be, so Bruce will probably stick Joe up front on his own (despite saying already he isn't suited to it). Carroll wouldn't be that much worse than Joe up on his own anyway, would at least win a few fouls that we can hoy the ball into the box from!

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Yeah, I guess if we accept we're going out and only the Sheffield game matters, don't play anyone from the first team unless you have to.

[GWN]

Really not bothered until we get to the quarters 

just noticed live on BBC that’s canny 

[Dan Gleebals]

Bruce has won f*** all as a manager, so may as well just bin it and save some time.

I have absolutely no interest in watching a Steve Bruce side taking on Arsenal away in the 3rd round of a FA Cup tie live on the BBC.

I can still remember 25 years ago how excited and stoked I was when we were playing Chelsea away on a Sunday afternoon live on the BBC under Keegan when Sir Les scored an injury time equaliser.

Can't be arsed with with today's match though.

[xLiaaamx]

Surely Dwight Gayle deserves a game by now

[GWN]

I will watch as I can’t help it     But I don’t watch with any passion that I used to have .

No idea why I continue to watch, can anyone explain the point?

[Ando7]

Carroll back tonight

[gdm]

Oh joy

[GWN]

Carroll back tonight

f***ing hell man, Bruce ball.

[neesy111]

Carroll back tonight

[Foluwashola]

Carroll 1-0. Nile Ranger to come on for a lovely cameo.

[GWN]

That’s it , I’m not watching , f*** that man l

[TRon]

I am not dreading this too much if only because I'm quite interested in seeing how Arsenal look. They have been in a disastrous run of form recently but seem to have turned the corner with a couple of great results.

[RS]

The nation awaits Bruce’s anti-entertainers.
