Won’t be going now….Tested positive on the exact same day as 2021. 3rd Jan seems to be a bad day for me. Last year the mother in law died on the 12th Jan because I brought it into the house but this time feels a lot different. Basically it’s like a cold…kids and Mrs are negative but I won’t be going out this room I’m locked in. I have a laptop a coffee machine and a box of tissues….I’m good for 7 days. Think I caught it at the Millwall game as was on a packed bus 😬😬😬 going from the craffy. Be careful people.

COVID positive on the 3rd Jan was on the craffie bus as well fully jabbed and boosted but still caught it
Day 5 in my bedroom has been like the worst cold/flu I’ve ever had

Personally find the clamour for players like Tavares weird, would rather play our strongest possible team than unproven players like him.

Yep, full strength please. If we're comfortably in the lead, then give fringe players some game time.
Can imagine we might need to fill some gaps with subs and reserves anyway if some are isolating or unfit

Yeah I’m fully jabbed. Been mild for me TBH. I appear to have spread it to my local in Leics 😬😬 think that bus is the source !!!

100% I wanna see the best team and progress. Even more so as they’re stinging us £20 for the pleasure. But if it does end up being half a team I wouldn’t mind seeing him is all.

Wasnt gonna go to this. But because of lack of games gonna attend will buy on friday...once game is confirmed as on.

Hoping theres more than 3 subs for the FA cup..so most of the team get game time.

Could get exciting with prospect of no replay and a result the day penalties etc.

Think it's a nailed on draw. We win on penalties...As they will be more match fit than us.

Kind of in same boat, just purchased.
Usual seats? If so, see you there 👍🏻

Normally would suggest a few changes and U23s on the bench but given how many games have been cancelled go pretty much first team.

Would consider JJ alongside o'hare and play Gyo up front, and would give Eccles a run out in place of Kelly.

Of course no-one's sure who is and will be available.
Very good chance Eccles will start , Shipley could well feature , expect Jones to be on bench and brought on , be interesting to see who is captain still covid issues and injuries

Can't be arsed paying £20 to watch our reserves lose to Derby.

That's if my PCR even comes back in time anyway.

Thought this would be a good chance to give Jones a start. Late cameos for the foreseeable then

Has anyone seen the match day guide mentioning the national terror threat being increased mentioned about 4 times. I am not sure why as it appears the national threat was raised over a month ago? If you Google those words and choose the news tab our match day guide is 3rd on the list. I am all for safety but a little confusing was there such restricted access pre Millwall game?

That's actually an anagram of a hornier tolerant tart.

I believe it's a reference to a new dessert available on the concourse.

Confident of a win … no idea why but just feel we’ll be up for it . I shall try and find a Chanel to stream it on…. Nobody else seems to have a problem 😬

If Jones is fit he has to start surely as opposed to coming off the bench - Tavares on the other hand should be on the bench at best not sure what all the clamour with him is about tbh....maybe half hour run out if it's going well tops!

1. Its a cup game
2. Our strikers can’t score for shit
3. We have no pace in the team
4. He’s scored more goals than games played in the 23’s

Apologies if already posted, but anyone know the best stream/PPV for tomorrow? Got an IP blocker installed already. Covid stopping me going 🙄😷

Got a bad feeling about today. Sounds like we are playing the reserves whilst they are playing a full strength team who are full of confidence after a good run of results. Backed by 3K away fans which is definitely more than we’ve sold so far but I’d imagine most are paying on the day. Really should have made this £10 rather than £20. I hope I’m wrong but I just don’t see us progressing to round 4 😔

On this basis Derby look value at 3/1 to win in 90. I fancy us to get a result, albeit won’t be surprised to see extra time.

Reading between the lines from our itk, I'd assume one of Kelly or mcfadz are covid and out

Sounds like Kelly/Fadz (re: the captain comments) plus Eccles comment makes you think Sheaf may be out (as sure I read Hamer was ok?) Unless we're going one up top? I'll wait and see, as it's hurting my head trying to do the guesswork!

Think it will one up top
With a pretty inexperienced four in midfield ( this is due to isolation and injuries rather than choice I think ) defence should be okay but they will need to show they can cope on their own

Thought I'd wait until this morning to buy tickets as there were loads left where I wanted to sit, but notice they have now closed blocks 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 to sales. It's almost like they don't want anyone at the game.
