In an ideal world Id like a home tie against a weak lower league side so we could give a game to the likes of the youngsters Andrade, Ehmer, Harriman, Doughty and fringe players like AJ, Hogan, Derry. I know its abit of a mickey mouse cup, but I do really want to have a little run this year - would be pretty disappointed to go out in the 2nd round.

Great idea but for christs sake take a look at our cup history

I can see some good reasons to play some fringe players, but I always feel that when such a weakened side is put out it sends the wrong signal to the players that the manger doesn't care about the cup. QPR have named weakened teams before and ended up losing.

At most I would play two young players in the starting lineup and two or three fringe players. Ehmer, Doughty, AJ, Ephraim, Murphy or Cerny. The rest would be 1st team regulars. QPR need a good cup run.

Entirely based on opinions mate.

Personally, I would hate to see Diakite, Park, Adel or any other regular play in a game vs Walsall in the League cup 2nd round and get an injury, ala Faurlin last year.

The likes of Derry, Hogan, Ehmer etc are all part of a PL side's squad and so, IMO, should be more than capable of seeing off Walsall (no disrespect to them!). Especially as they'll all have a point to prove. Agree would love a cup run, but, personally, would save our "big guns" for a tougher test. Also, perfect time to give the youngsters a run out, rather see them play in this game than in a PL game where alot more is a stake and the pressure is far greater.

I think this Walsall at home thing is one big lie. I have looked everywhere, even in my old socks storage box, no Walsall to be found.

Also Walsall isn't an option on our online ticket thing, might have to call the box office to clear this one up

Even if they sell you a ticket I won't let you into my home, I am shy.
