Saw about crouch tonight, a joke.

All the league teams should field their academies too.

Interesting bit at the bottom about attendances....

Interesting bit at the bottom about attendances....

Think its safe to say the experiment hasn't been a success.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Well done to the gillingham nine, the crowds are pathetic but what the football league deserves.

They really must have come in a taxi.
How many taxis do we need tonight.
I don't know anyone who is going.....

I think it's a couple of hundred from us tonight I was going but they changed the date and it messed up for me

 

[Nick]

Anybody know who has travelled or anything yet?

Will be interesting how changed it will be. I just hope that McBean plays for us and M Bean plays for them, that would be a tasty battle!

Also with the defenders marking Akinfenwa.

Akinfenwa pitched against the mighty Dion Kelly-Evans:

Do Wycombe have extra powerful floodlights?

Just thinking Akinfenwa must block out an awful lot of light

We can't even fill 1 coach (we'll not the official one anyway).......

Not surprised though! Competition is a joke (unless it gets us a day out in Wembley........ )

 

[sw88]

Coach here already! Ridiculously early!

Well at least you are going, so it's not flask of tea for me by the fireside to sit back and enjoy your commentary

 

[coop]

Them crowds are shocking but what do they expect.

 

[Nick]

Surely they can see now when Premier League teams draft in players like Crouch or there are 28 or 29 year olds playing for the U23's it is stupid. It will be worse if the U23 teams progress, clubs will want to win it so will throw a few first teamers in.

Meanwhile, the league clubs can't make changes.

 

[Pete in Portugal]

Coventry City: Charles-Cook (GK), Di. Kelly-Evans, Finch, Harries, Turnbull, Sterry, Maycock, Rose (C), Lameiras, Thomas, McBean.

Subs: Addai (GK), Haynes, Page, Bigirimana, Jones, Spence, Agyei.

[sw88]

Few changes

 

[Nick]

Is that more than the allowed?

 

[chiefdave]

He's made the maximum number of changes hasn't he?

 

[no_loyalty]

Few changes

Happy with that side

 

[Nick]

Is that Kelly Evans, Finch, Harries, Turnbull and Sterry in a 5?

Not too sure about them marking Akinfenwa.

 

[no_loyalty]

Is that more than the allowed?

No, 5 started at Morecambe

 

[Nick]

No, 5 started at Morecambe

Ah, thought it was League Games.

Akinfenwa isn't in their squad tonight.

 

[Nick]

Akinfenwa isn't in their squad tonight.

Ha, I hadn't seen theirs.

Ignore that then, the thought of him and finch worry me. Unless they tried to have a sprint!

 

[Otis]

Akinfenwa isn't in their squad tonight.

Is that to give their catering department some respite?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Come on City - buzzing for this (mildly interested. anyway!). Actually more chuffed hearing Paddy Madden is out injured on Saturday!!

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

two left backs on the bench and none on the pitch?

Anyone sensing Venus might take say Sterry or Turnbull off early on for Haynes as a way of getting around the rules?

Good call - would definitely do this!

 

[PVA]

Turnbull can play left back .

 

[ccfcway]

good luck tonight boys and priority in no injuries.

I'm still annoyed at this joke of a competition.

689 at a stoke game with Bojan, Imbula and Crouch, complete and utter joke.

As for Chelsea not winning one game in 3, even if they continue with this face next season, cant see Chelsea entering again

We might as well hand the trophy to Norwich (*Under 23's / Under 21's / If they fancy playing some of their 1st team) now

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Where is Tudgay surely not being rested for Saturday or is he injured:nailbiting:.

My God Finch these are dark days.

 

[Nick]

Jack McBean First, City to win at 11/1
Coventry winning at half time, wycombe to win game, 28/1

25p on each.

If we kickoff, then kick ball straight into touch then Haynes on for Sterry

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Think of the appearance money need to get a few minutes out of him first
