No issue with that at all 

[Inigo 32,526]

Quite right.

[Big Al 55 9,248]

So he should be

He's had a clean sheet all the way through so he'll have the confidence and he'll be trying like mad to keep this going. Let's hope his clean sheets continues. 

[graeme_4 34,436]

The best should start. That's Fod IMO. 

[Guest Lloyd72]

Made about 3/4 world class saves against Linfield and has been solid in the cup so far, Fully Deserved.

[Smile 26,600]

I thought he looked a decent keeper quite vocal as well i like to see that in a keeper.

[K.A.I 36,183]

Nah not for me.

Nothing against Gilks at all. He's more than capable back-up but remember that's what he is (back-up)

Should be playing strongest team always - it's Celtic we are playing not East Stirling ffs.

I don't think Gilks will let us down per-say but this is the type of shit Warburton does himself no favours with.

Will just highlight how much we miss his distribution.

Good shot-stopper, Wes is a much better all round keeper however. Don't think we could find another keeper so comfortable with the ball at his feet. Regardless of how many heart-stopping moments he gives us, he's outstanding and assured in what he does on the deck.

I agree completely, but it's not just Warburton. Most managers do it now days, regardless of the team they're playing if it's the league cup they rotate keepers. Frustrating as fuck but the way it is.

Gilks doesn't seem great with the ball at his feet and that's our whole style, hope he doesn't fuck up on Sunday. 

[Turnberry18 3,204]

That would be a ludicrous decision. The best 11 should play when we play a match like this. 

[Bad Robot 21,148]

I've just added a poll to see the consensus ?

[plumbGER 24,518]

Was it not Fods playing out from the back that led to most danger last time out?

The way the bheggars camped out in midfield and flooded forward when we tried to play out, thats what fucked us last time early doors imo.

[JohnH 270]

I voted Gilks as I feel he should retain his place in the League Cup squad. Wouldn't be upset though if Big Wes got the call

[Billythebear77 10,386]

Best 11 have to play, as others have said it's not the time to be fucking about with the line-up, FOD the prod has to start

Alexander won quite a few cups with us as back up keeper, 

[Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133]

Still have my heart in my mouth when Foderingham has the ball at his feet, still looks indecisive at times. Gilks should be stamping his  place on the team with this game.

Good shout but I think the wording is a bit misleading mate (not intentional by yourself tho) ... it's the word deserving because even though I think the strongest team should play including the goalkeeper ... even I can see there's an argument for him deserving to play due to playing the rest of the cup games.

It should maybe just be who should be number 1 on Sunday.

Does this also mean Hodson will play ahead of Wallace or Tav?

Yeah when McGregor was injured and he was called upon. Not the same thing here.

[Big Al 55 9,248]

You choose to give a player the cup games you dont shit out when it really matters...makes you weak.

Would anyone have expected anything less from MW than.his word.

[STEPPS BOY 73,890]

We should be picking our best team available..

 

End of..

I can't really agree with that but completely understand what your are saying but my thinking is it's the bheggars in a national semi . Warburton should be sending out his preferred best 11 based on performance rather than some unwritten agreement

Or you don't do it in the first place, at least not formally.

Then that's absurd management in my eyes.

Again, does this mean Hodson is going to play ahead of Wallace or Fod? if so do we even want to win/taking this game seriously? not a dig at Hodson, I like him but I'm talking about the principle.
