The Arsenal one was wasn't it?

Yes it was live on iFollow. I vaguely recall that it was announced that they would include Checkatrade matches this season. Maybe the Cheltenham match is being shown on a TV channel, though it'd be a pretty odd choice!

I'm usually one to advocate lots of changes for games like this, but I'm not sure if we should keep a similar team to carry on allowing the team to get used to each other?

It feels like we need to get the strikers on the scoresheet so they can hopefully push on, but this would be my last chance for Chaplin before I replaced him with either Baka or Hiwula.

Doyle should be rested and give Ogogo another chance - if he can't run a game at home against L2 opposition then he's unlikely to ever replace Doyle this year. I think I'd play Bayliss next to him to see if he can up his game from his last few performances and if not he'll be replaced at the weekend by Kelly. I'd play Jones for an hour for fitness.

_____________O'Brien
Sterling___Davies___Willis____Brown
Jones____Ogogo___Bayliss___Shipley
__________Baka___Chaplin

Subs: Burge, Thompson, Hickman, Kelly, Andreu, JCH, Hiwula

Team needs momentum, keep it the same apart from anyone like Doyle who might need a rest. Not like the second string have covered themselves in glory when given the chance.

Agree with Grendel - risk as few as possible of back 4 - let Camwell, Thompson, Morgan etc pad it out and let the lokes of Ogogo and non regulars get a game. Likely to make us disjointed and we could get whupped if they play their strongest side (only unbeaten side in the Football League), but there is a bigger picture (albeit if we do get whupped, those who turn up won't see it that way)

They have drawn most of their games

I hope we go for the win. Use Thompson as cb and give Willis and Davies one half each to keep them fresh lol

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.

Why don't we nip this in the bud now?

Let's just call him Andy and be done with it.

There's alot of players that still need minutes. Liam Kelly needs to get fitter, ogogo. I'd even play brown at lb, he's been in an out he needs to get match fit. Having said that I reckon Mason will play.

O'brien will be gk, I'd play thompson and Davies cb, hickman rb to rest sterling and Willis

Jones (if not ill) Kelly ogogo Shipley

Strikers no idea. Hiwula will play, possibly andreu. I wouldn't actually start bak, he must be in dreamland now, but if he starts tomorow and we are shite, all the personal momentum he's got will go. I'd save him for Wycombe in a game that matters and let him come out flying

Forest Green are turning into a bit of a bogey team... Which frustrates me even more as they are a vegan club and I couldn't even get a decent pie last time I was there.

Do we think MR is taking the cup run seriously this year, as it was put to the side last year for promo from the looks of it?

Thought their food there was supposed to be surprisingly good.

Got good feedback from a lot of fans.

Can't say I've ever had a vegan pie. Had a really nice vegetarian one though.

A vegan bogey team. Is a bogey vegan? I guess it would be considered an animal product.
