[Otis]

Only thing I can accurately predict is a low turnout.

 

[Magwitch]

What is our chances of getting to. The next stage ?

Oh, is Warwick Davis going to be there?

 

[Adge]

Is anyone actually GOING to this? :emoji_thinking:

 

[Otis]

The players hopefully.

 

[Nick]

I had to look twice at the title then!

 

[Nick]

Is this on ifollow?

What I can accurately predict is if we go all the way to Wembley about 45000 will turn up

I seriously doubt it. We’ve been twice in the last two years, we would struggle for 30,000 in my opinion

 

[Adge]

The players hopefully.

Don’t count on it. Sometimes they don’t turn up either.....

For the 'annual' visit. Everybody who has been to the last couple has had a cracking day - why would anyone not bother? The only reason for a no show might be if it was against an U21s team, at which point the competition is a non event.

Poor I think as arsenal u23 look good and I think only 1 team makes it out of group stage

Rotate the team

Obrien
Camwell
Thompson
Hyam if fit, if not davies
Sterling
Kelly
Agogo
Shipley
Jones
Bakayoko
Hiwula

We don’t have a player called Agogo but we do have a player called Ogogo

 

[Otis]

We don’t have a player called Agogo but we do have a player called Ogogo

I can see it being another Hutchinson, Hutchison one.

We already have three French players besides Biamou, in Andrue, Andreu and Andrew, though I have doubts about Andrew's heritage.

Reckon we'll hit four figures?!?

 

[Otis]

Reckon we'll hit four figures?!?

Nope.

Can see it maybe being less than a thousand and can't see Forest Green bringing more than a handful.

 

[johnwillomagic]

Hmm I think opportunity to get some more game time in players legs - cannot really rest too many from defence imo

I would go

O Brien GK
Sterling RB
Camwell LB
Davies CB
Willis CB
Hiwula LW
Kelly CM
Ogogo CM
Jones if fit RW
Bakayoko ST
Chaplin ST

Subs: Burge, Brown, Thompson, Doyle, Thomas, JCH, Bayliss

Replace Willis with Thompson. Drop Chaplin and put Hiwula up there and Shipley LM IMO

 

[Gint11]

Forget this tournament and give a game to players who need it

 

[Nick]

Think it's a chance to let people show what they can do. Maybe Baka and hiwula with some first team players rather then kids

Oh really? Was it this ya last yesr too? Awesome. Let's win this trophy!

 

[Grendel]

Given we are down to bare bones in defence it would be madness to risk any of the regular back line.

 

[Magwitch]

Not sure if Chaplin can play as it’s a cup game

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Not sure if Chaplin can play as it’s a cup game

Why wouldn’t he? I think the agreement is if we were to play Pompey in the cup. He’s our player in January so why would they care about him being cup tied

 

[HerneBayGaz]

Is anyone actually GOING to this? :emoji_thinking:

Oh yes I'll be there

 

[Magwitch]

Sure I read Portsmouth won’t let him play in cup-ties

 

[Nick]

Sure I read Portsmouth won’t let him play in cup-ties

Only against them?

 

[Otis]

Only against them?

That's what I thought.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I have booked the night off work thinking it was a league game but won’t bother going to this

 

[Nick]

Just checked, it's on ifollow

 

[Johhny Blue]

Is anyone actually GOING to this? :emoji_thinking:

I thought we were already out.

 

[Esoterica]

Although weirdly not the Cheltenham checkatrade game in November. Guess that's Cheltenham's decision as it's our only away game.

 

[covcity4life]

Doubt it. Chdcktrade games are not. On schedule it always has um listed as on I follow but they never are
