you have to think the flag pole deserves to keep its place

I'm afraid we have a problem there its only loaned to us for matchdays and would be cup tied if it played

So
LO'B

Dion KE Hyam Davies Shipley or Haynes

Vincenti Stevenson Devon KE

Beavon McNulty Biamou (take off at half time )

This is only to fit in with the rules and maybe only just about does that

 

[stevefloyd]

Fine, but we need some more movement from him. Far too static in that last game.

Proves how blind the linesmen are it was offside every time and lacks serious stamina never got out of our half in the 2nd half

Are Haynes/Vincenti/Beavon even fit yet?

 

[Esoterica]

Are Haynes/Vincenti/Beavon even fit yet?

Haynes had his first training session last week, Vincenti reported by Robins to still be hobbling prior to Crewe, Beavon played on Saturday.

Why worry about technicalities like that

 

[SkyBlueCRJ]

Why worry about technicalities like that

To be fair it doesn't, I'd happily put out traffic cones with Sky Blue shirts on against Walsall rather than risk more of our players getting injured

Had a brain fart, I was there Saturday and even complimented how well Beavon played when he came on haha :banghead: Yeah Vincenti apparently has a gash on his knee that is taking time to heal so I think he's potentially out for another week. Good news about Haynes tho!

 

[Liquid Gold]

Play the under 12s and say we're an elite development team.

 

[bawtryneal]

Does anybody know if any teams got fined last season and how much ?
Just pay anyfine fine and play the team that best suits winning on Saturday at Barnet and our promotion drive.
Promotion back to League 1 is more valuable than progressing in the Tin Pot Cup.

I'm pretty sure Luton got fined, I've got the figure £12.5k in my head but don't know if I'm just imagining it.

 

[better days]

We should easily satisfy the rules by starting with Davies, Beavon, Biamou and McNulty. All could do with the match practice and the forwards all need a goal to boost their confidence

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Hence the happy to take the fine notion.

But we have no money maybe Nick could pay it at £33 a month

 

[The Penguin]

I'd go with:

O'Brien
Dion KE - Willis - Davies - Camwell
Devon KE - Stevenson - Shipley - Finn
Beavon
Ponticelli

Davies, Willis, Beavon and Devon Kelly-Evans would satisfy the four qualifying players rule. Take Willis and Devon off at half-time. I get the whole 'keep a winning run going' thing but after three games in seven days, we should be resting as many of our first team as possible.

 

[covcity4life]

oh yeah forgot about camwell, he looked decent

 

[Otis]

Like the look of him. Could well get some game time this season.

 

[Mcbean]

Didn't Rafael and Fabio play together for Man Utd ?

Could make a booking or a sending off interesting !

 

[Warwickhunt]

I reckon we'll see both DKE's together for the first time. Wonder if identical twins have ever played together in an English pro game?
Could be an interesting story for SKY on what is a quiet football night

The Murphy's for Norwich

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Slightly(?!) off topic, but has the Checkatrade final DVD been released yet? - agree with the 'protect the first team' ethos with regards to the Walsall match (but always want to win, even though I know it doesn't matter. I'd take a 3-0 defeat if it guaranteed us a point - hopefully 3- on Saturday!) The one Barnet player I'm worried about is that Shaquille Coulthirst.

 

[Mr T - Sukka!]

Cant see an away win here. Lose 2-0. Should give finge players a full 90 mins here. Make as many changes as possible.

 

[Bristol sky blue]

I'd go with:

O'Brien
Dion KE - Willis - Davies - Camwell
Devon KE - Stevenson - Shipley - Finn
Beavon
Ponticelli

Exactly the side I'd go for, though Robins might give McNulty a run out to build his fitness again...

Is Nazon ineligible for this /has he already joined his team on international duty?

 

[Gazolba]

Golden chance to give Ponticelli some time in a match that does not matter.

 

[Otis]

Off on international duties. Missing for tonight and Saturday.

 

[AStonesThrow]

does anyone know if the allocation has been sold? Looking to go and pay on the gate as the website is saying you can, but don't wanna get there and there be no tickets

 

[Nick]

I can see this being 3-1 to Walsall. Obviously would like to win as with any game but can see Robins using it as a training session.

My take on it is that McNulty, Beavon, Biamou and Potichelli would all be hoping to score to try to force their way into the team for the live televised game on Saturday

 

[Astute]

I would make as many changes to the squad that I could then make a couple of subs after a few minutes. Just get the two players you want to take off collide with each other.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Davies cup-tied tonight so won't be playing. Leaves us vert short in defence if Robins wants to keep McDonald or Willis fresh

 

[The Penguin]

Well, shit, there goes my plan then.

 

[Nick]

Yeah Davies played against Fulham for Portsmouth in the Checkatrade so will be cup tied.

I guess Hyam could come in as one.

 

[Randeep94]

Leaving it a tad late I know but is anyone driving up today got a spare seat? Will chuck tenner for parking and petrol money.

 

[rexo87]

LOB
Dion Hyam Ford Haynes
Stevenson Kelly Shipley
Beavon Ponticelli Mcnulty

 

[oldskyblue58]

Good luck tonight to the lads but would swap success in this cup for nailed on promotion from L2
