Don’t play anyone who isn’t here next season. Fuck em.

Actually, shit that means rushback goalie. Fine Burge gets a pass.

Burge

Kelly Shipley
Wakefield Chaplin Hiwula

S: Addai, Drysdale, McCallum, Westbrooke, some kids.

Don’t think we need another meeting with the EFL facing more sanctions or disciplinary. It’s not quite as easy as name who you want as TM was on the receiving end of.

EFL Regulation 24 which was created after Blackburn’s relegation to L1 after promoted Huddersfield made 10 changes in a 2-0 defeat to Birmingham resulting in Birmingham’s safety means any team sheet for a league game should include at least 10 outfield players who featured on the team sheet for the league match before.

Sterling, Hyam, Davies, Mason, Kelly, Shipley, Hiwula, Enobakhare, Thomas, Bakayoko, Willis, Brown, Westbrooke, Wakefield, Chaplin, Ponticelli 10 of these must all be in the match day 18.
So 6 outfield changes are realistically permissible from the Shrewsbury game

In a boozer?

 

[Adge]

just said been to games expecting rotation and this would be no different. dont just repeat same thing again.

also the team i put out had what 4 or 5 changes? only 2 or 3 of them unexpected ones to boot. wakefield or chaplin getting a start really wouldnt be a big issue would it?

Home games by any chance?

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Ah good idea, any one in particular? Guides are saying the beefeater up near the ground but I will be staying in the centre.

Can those that are there keep an eye on which players are more crap than others.

Luke Thomas has no right foot. From what I’ve seen, Wakefield has neither left or right...

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I honestly don't give a shit.

Get the flares out lads.

 

[Gazolba]

We don't really have anything to play for but Doncaster do.
So I think it'll be 2-1 to them.
Hoping Ponticelli come on and scores.

Yup. I dont care how long u travel. I care about ccfc..nothing personal

 

[kg82]

I don’t get what difference it makes?

 

[stevefloyd]

Stopped taking you seriously after this opening sentence !

I dont even know who he is

 

[Adge]

I don’t get what difference it makes?

Don’t you? Probably about £100. If I wanted to see an academy game I could go to the Alan Higgs.

 

[no_loyalty]

I can't see anything but a defeat here, as our lads will already be on the beach.

 

[kg82]

Oh, so you spend more money, you’re more of a supporter?!

 

[skybluepm2]

Is the game available on ifollow today seeing as though it isn’t a regular 3pm ko?

 

[Esoterica]

Oh, so you spend more money, you’re more of a supporter?!

He pays a lot of money to travel away, I think it's fair enough if he'd rather watch our strongest team than a bunch of even kiddier kids than our normal kiddy kids getting thrown in for the game, which is all his point really is, not who is a better supporter.
The real issue is our failure to kill teams off in the last 2 seasons, we can never just chuck Ponticelli or Bremang on for the last 30 minutes of a game at 3-0 for the experience and now we have a game that is inconsequential to us, some people want to see the future and fringe players get a run out.

 

[Tommo1993]

We can according to this. But I bet they’ll wriggle out of it somehow! I should be careful posting this because by the looks of this forum, I’ll get slagged off by morons for not attending games.

 

[Evo1883]

Just phoned my old man told him I’d Be down in 10 and we would leave in half hour , forgot it was a 17:30 Ffs lol , could’ve been a long day

 

[Esoterica]

Doesn't look like it without the VPN trick. I expect the kick off times are just moved so that Sky can cover it and maximise viewing figures without it clashing with whatever PL games is on.

You can always check the blackout schedule here: EFL Official Website - Broadcast Schedule

 

[Evo1883]

If those 2000 fans care more about a day out victory than a experiment that could help us long term(and maybe even win on the day) then i would be dissapointed

I want to win full stop

 

[Adge]

Oh, so you spend more money, you’re more of a supporter?!

No-if I knew it would be an “experiment” before the game I would probably make the choice not to travel and spend the money doing so.

Fair point.

 

[covcity4life]

Conditional love for ccfc. Only if you win lol

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

I went to the Checkatrade game at Cheltenham this season. There would have been around 400 City fans there. As a spectacle, the game was a waste of time as it was literally men (Cheltenham) against boys (our U23s. It was a waste of time and money as the game was barely competitive. I hope we put out a full strength team today and end the season on a high note.

 

[covcity4life]

I am sure Williams thompson ngandu and eccles alao rhought it was a waste of time...

Baka played that game. Now hes our main striker every game. Waste of time....

We cannot make playoffs. Lets see who could fsctor for us next season now.

 

[johnwillomagic]

Hmm think we will probably lose as Donny need the points to ensure play offs and we don't have that much to play for.

Think we will line up as follows

Burge
Sterling
Mason
Davies
Hyam
Kelly
Shipley
Bright
Hiwula
Thomas
Baka

Subs: Addai, Brown, Thompson, Wakefield, Chaplin, Ponticelli, Westbrooke

I wouldn't mind persoanlly CHaplin starting for Baka and Wakefiled for Thomas but don't think it will happen.

 

[Tommo1993]

Got no time for this ‘nothing to play for’ nonsense. 3pts and pride will be nice. Always look for a win.

 

[Sick Boy]

We don't really have anything to play for but Doncaster do.
So I think it'll be 2-1 to them.
Hoping Ponticelli come on and scores.

When was the last time you saw him play?

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

Ah good idea, any one in particular? Guides are saying the beefeater up near the ground but I will be staying in the centre.

I'll probably have a beer in the draughtsman at the station and any one of the leopard, the corner pin or the Doncaster brewery tap. All near the station.

 

[bawtryneal]

Very windy up here today and much colder than it looks
Wrap up warm and anybody with a syrup should wear a hat
Going to win 2-0 today. Have a feeling.

 

[I was eleven in 87]

PUSB!!

 

[CCFC72]

2-0 home win, our boys having a rest. Been a good season.
