Interesting that some people will pay to go tonight yet they'll be the same people that expect STH to boycott the Rochdale game.

In regards to the U23 sides everywhere, why don't they just go back to have a reserve league like years ago. The reserve team are for up and coming youngsters mixed with first teamers coming back from injuries etc. I thought that worked fine.

Any POTG tonight?

Cheers!

I much preferred having a row to myself last time.

Can't see how everybody will fit into that stand.

 

[Nick]

Ten minutes for team news, good guess

Stevenson for gadzhev and Wright for Jones

No rcc on the bench again

 

[skybluejelly]

don't think we could put a stronger team out

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Would like to have seen Kelly-Evans, Harries & Lameries start and Haynes & G Thomas on the bench and used this comp to develop our youngsters not Newcastle and West Hams.

Strong line up!

Thought Wright did alright on Saturday? Maybe it's a fitness thing.

Come on City!

He's cup tied...

Normally I'd say play the kids, but after our first win and under a new manager and with no game at the weekend, I think a bit of consistency is worth it.

What's the subs bench? Hopefully there's some kids on there.

 

[Nick]

Apparently expecting attendance of 1200, they have brought 600 odd.

Really only 600 city fans?

That does not sound right. Good following from Northampton (especially as they lost 3-0 at home to Wycombe in first leg)

It was on cwr, unless he meant 1200 city fans.

I think it was over 3k against west ham?

 

[Nick]

Surely the club is making a loss putting this on?

If you mean the RB kelly-evans, he got sent off vs West Ham so he has to sit this one out unfortunately. Agree on the rest though

 

[Nick]

Would have been ideal to chuck mcbean on the bench

Ah course, is the K-E that's on the bench the one that scored the hat trick for the U23's last week?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

A win tonight and that's got to inject some confidence.

Glad he's put a strong team out.

2091 @ west ham game

Close! Would have thought more after w win and non academy team

 

[Nick]

I bet it will look rammed on the highlights

The rules of the competition prevent this to an extent. You have to play a certain number of the squad from the previous game.

You can still stick a fair few on? Is it the whole squad you have to keep or just the starting 11?

 

[coop]

Eastleigh are allowing everyone in tonight for free tonight great initiative.

Chuck McBean. He doesn't play by the rules but damn it he gets results.

 

[coop]

You have to play five player's who played or are going to play in the next fixture.

Edit: obviously starting 11. So you could still have 6 kids and a whole bench, plus we play a couple of kids anyway.
