    I live in London mate. I very rarely have enough money to get to GP, so have zero chance of being eligible for Cup Final tickets. Even for away games in London it's easier to get tickets in the oppo's end.

    I'd hope to see a relatively strong team. Need to brush Orient aside and keep the morale up.

    If we can win this, it would be huge for the club, with the addition of Europa League again inc. extra money.

    We have a small squad but can see at least 2 loan deals coming in, plus that French kid if that's finalised. We might end up playing another lower league team in the next round, so I'd start experimenting with the likes of Barkley and Junior then.

    I'll need to see more of Mirallas before I decide really, but I'm havin a bit of trouble workin out where he'll play.

    Just the way I see it like.

    What gets to me is people say we ain't got a big enough squad and that our youth needs to be given more of a chance and then when its said that lets play a team with a few fringe youth players and 1st team players at home to leyton orient in a cup competition its like don't u want to win a cup. Look guys we r forever babbling on about our youth players and other players not getting much of a chance. Yes we should take cup seriously but we r home to leyton orient if this isn't an idedal chance to have a little tinker then when we get injuries during the season with our small squad how the hell r we gonna know if some of the guys are ready to step up to the plate!!!!!! Lets get a mixture of 1st team players some of our promising youngsters and have a strong bench just in case things ain't working out

    I can almost guarantee that Jan Mucha will be in goal. I reckon we might have one or two fringe players coming on, but I can definitely see Mucha starting.

    We need to start most of our first XI. They lack match fitness. I think Neville or Moyes said the Villa game that Jelavic still needs 10 or so games to get to full match fitness so a 60 minute run against a (no offence) shoite team should be plenty. Take him off after that, replace him with Vellios. Start Mirallas too, along with a few others, and sub them after.

    ^^ I concur.

    I think the Bookies are expecting us to kill Leyton Orient, just put a bet on for it, Mirallas and 4-0 was 25/1.

    If the normal first team lacks match fitness, then so must the rest of the squad. A relatively easy LC outing is the place to experiment. I would like to see Anichebe start alongside Jelavic. Mirallas needs 90 minutes, to get him into the swing of things. Barkley should start. Fellaini can have a rest and come on from the bench, if things go bad. Heitinga can replace Jagielka. There are loads of interesting options.
