I couldn't give a toss, this is a nothing game in a nothing cup .
Getting out the shit in the league is all that matters.
If we do lose this which I think that confidence is so low we will, Venus will have to go.

Still no fit right back, so I guess bigi will be there again with the 3 - 4 - 3 that has worked so well for us.

Although I have woken up screaming in the night remember various Willis RB performances (Orient away when we drew 2-2, for instance), I still think that's a better bet than wingbacks at present. Confidence is just shot and 4 at the back will be more solid.

Unfortunately, our problems go way beyond the lack of a fit RB. Once we've got the back 4 sorted, we need a solid midfield who can win the ball, dominate possession and distribute the ball properly; we need wingers who can get into space on the flanks and whip difficult crosses into the 6-yard box or switch the play; we need striker who have the ability to kick the ball at the net.

MV has stated that he couldn't risk Mcann or Rose in the FA cup game but they are in for this shit meaningless game.Why risk them tomorrow when the league is far more important.

Crawley are a woeful excuse of a team, so it should be a fairly even affair. No doubt Fishcake will come out and state that the club have incurred losses due to such a poor turnout despite him giving the new format a thumbs up in the summer. With a bit of nous, a fiver a ticket would probably have generated a higher revenue.

Oh yes the result, 1-1 and a scraped win in ET if such thing exists in this farcical contest.
Was just going to reply to torch on a different thread but here will do.
I again will give it a miss for this exact reason.
The lack of marketing of these games is a disgrace,same for the Morecambe one as well.
Call me old and grumpy as much as you like.
I refuse to be shunted around that stadium ever again.
As it stands I don't anticipate going again this season.
So torch I will give Wembley a miss too, everyone's happy!!

I'll take you to the pub, watch it there, I'd much prefer to drive you down there though.

As long as they serve a mean Vimto or orangeade then you're on!

Saying that I'm likely to be working in Paris anyway around then. :'(

No worries, I haven't been there for years and I don't snore.

BBC says 'outside the UK'
I think we'll win so long as we play two strikers up front. I'd prefer Sordell and McBean.

I am fortunately 2 miles away and will also probably be asleep, as I have had a tough half an hour cleaning up puppy sick.

No idea how that will look in the morning.

I'll be half a mile away. Might pop down the casino to see a few mates before. No way am I going in though.

I'll be too busy at the Biffy Clyro gig to even care for this one.
Can't believe the manager hasn't stepped down

I'm surprised you even know who he is. Not many famous ones these days. Not like the old days of Epstein and McLaren.
