Predictions, tactics etc.

Just realized I wrote the date the North American way “Dec 3rd” instead of “3rd Dec”

 

[covcity4life]

I hope its a strong side with maybe room for likes of eccles and drysdale but not too many fringe players. Perhaps minutes for allen

Baka and Biamou may aswell get some time together if robins opts for 2 upfront

Shame on you

Game is on Talksport 2, think they are taking a liking to us, that's 3 in about 4 weeks

I’m going to this and although it’s not a popular trophy, I’m left disappointed by the turnout given the bollocks ‘away day only’ tripe. Turn up for the big piss ups, not when your team needs you. Enough of the emotion lead stuff. Hoping for:
Wilson
Watson Hyam Drysdale Mason
Allen Eccles O’Hare
Kastaneer Bakayoko Hiwula

A chance for some players to gain minutes and some to prove us all wrong that they’ve got it in then to go up the gears and perform when it matters going into an important time of the year. Play up sky blues

I think we will line up 3-5-2 or 5-3-2 dependant on your outlook and give a few players some minutes while still being strong side.

Wilson
Dabo
Drysdale
Rose
MacFadzean
Mason
Allen
Kelly
O'Hare
Baka
Biamou

Subs: Marosi, Hyam, McCallum, Shipley, Westbrooke, Walsh, Bremang

Don’t worry. About 80% will figure it out by themselves

That’s probably around double what the figure would be if I spoke to any of them so not bad

Did you just assume my sport of preference based on my nationality?

Read this and then you will see why
Can't sleep, bored stupid, come on here to chat rubbish

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

what's the turnout ?

Thought it was 400-500 (which is still a lot more than the total 'home' attendance v Saints U23s at The Trillion

So you think he will drop Hiwula from the squad completely when he needs game time? I can't see the side being anywhere as strong as that.

 

[Nick]

Thanks, not sure why it didn't auto create.

I wonder if MK dons will be putting out a strong team as we will probably put out a second string for fitness and experience.

 

[better days]

Might be one or two pleasant surprises in our squad tonight

 

[Nick]

Might be one or two pleasant surprises in our squad tonight

Allen and Jones?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Flanagan and Allen ?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Jones and Pask on the bench/ Allen to start?

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

Might be one or two pleasant surprises in our squad tonight

Allen? He wouldn't start Jones in a more competitive game like this would he?

 

[Nick]

Allen? He wouldn't start Jones in a more competitive game like this would he?

You wouldn't have thought so, I don't think he has played for the u23's yet.

Maybe a run out at the end?

 

[cc84cov]

ifollow tonight then will show this ?

 

[Nick]

ifollow tonight then will show this ?

Yeah it should be!

 

[GaryMabbuttsLeftKnee]

Probably massively underestimating amount of time required to come back, but it couldn't be Godden on the bench could it?

Thought that myself expecting to see Jaime Allen possibly Jones on the bench tonight

Hopefully mate would be nice to have him back for the busy Christmas period wouldn't it!!

 

[better days]

Godden still a little way off I believe
