[Speedie's Head]

Waggy's been looking sharp I think. Not his fault they got the tic tacs wrong in the last game

Big game for Tav. If he can't run this lot ragged then hes not going to make the break through in the Championship

 

[CovLis86]

Moore needs to have a solid game. Likewise Tavares could do with netting himself one to show he has something. No walkover whatever team gets put out.

Blackpool destroying Forest

 

[Frostie]

Fully expect some massive overreactions on individual performances

 

[shmmeee]

Be OK with a draw. Really expecting them to be up for it and us not to be.

 

[Macca]

You could say that about literally any day out with the kids.

Never understood how people can’t go an hour and a half without eating or drinking

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Well if Waghorn don't score against these fuck knows what his level is...and if Tavares don't score maybe we can leave Robins to pick the teams in the future

It is going to be interesting to see how some of our underperforming players do against lower league opposition. Waghorn and Dabo being two in particular. Wrexham are probably a League 2 standard team (despite their thinking that they could compete in the champions league). They should still stand out, but I am curious to see what this game brings.

Fuck that.

Dunno about that mate…it’s a team game after all.
Gives Kelly and Dabo a chance to get some fitness.

It’s good that we’ve rested a few but I’m worried about this one.

 

[shmmeee]

Fuck that.

It is what it is. Team of under performers vs a team in their cup final. Going with zero expectations.

I can get S4C on Freesat but guessing it will be Welsh commentary. Any idea how I can get English commentary, think someone mentioned watching on iPlayer?

Embrace the welsh language! I think you can get subtitles.

It’s lucky that Ollie Palmer isn’t that excited about playing us he’s on the bench.

Don't want an away trip down there, get this done and dusted today

 

[Great_Expectations]

More than strong enough team to win.

Quite a conservative middle two but with two offensive wing backs and two up front that’s absolutely fine.

Echo others; big big game for Taveres. Loads of clamour for him, while the majority appreciate he’s clearly not ready they also want to see him given a chance. Today is the day.

Likewise for Dabo with the new RWB in the building and a massively stop start and genera regression the last few seasons.

Confident that team would hold its own in L1, so really no reason we should struggle today. But it is the FA Cup and all that.

Finally, massively pissed off as I was due to be there today, even dragging my partner along on the premise of a few drinks in the Lounge Area before and we got let down last minute by babysitters….

 

[Johhny Blue]

Not many obvious goalscorers in there, though.

Panzo is 17 to 1 anytime at skybet65

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Chance for both Waghorn and Taveres to show they're professional footballers, opportunity for Moore to save us from Wilson!

 

[skyblueelephant76]

Sunderland losing at Shrewsbury. Baggies losing at Chesterfield. Takes some pressure off!

Da Costa came on for Shrewsbury then Sunderland scored twice to win it

That's shite mate. A good win will make up for it

 

[Happy_Martian]

Wrexham are not as weak as some of us think. A good number of their squad have EFL experience and Mullin, their main striker, is on a rich vein of form, enough to put Vik to shame.

Don't expect a blowout or even a comfortable win. This could very well be another Northampton, Sutton Utd, Cambridge. An overripe banana skin waiting for the next over confident foot.

If they're not up for it they'll lose. Simple as.

 

[chiefdave]

obviously want to win but lets get through the game without any injuries and without needing a replay

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

That team is good enough to win. Whether it does is down to them

If that’s the case I’m planning to pair the CWR commentary through the sound bar. Will take a bit of pausing to sync.

Red button should give you language options or subtitles before hand and during the game.

 

[torchomatic]

It's in Welsh in the iPlayer. Only English on sky TV

<shrug emoji>

 

[covhead1]

We will batter them with the highest score of the day by a country mile.

Thought Harrison Nee went out on loan.

You can't really want a replay surely?

 

[Covcraig@bury]

What steam is the game on ?

 

[Robinshio]

Red button for English

BBC iplayer. Choose S4C (but you'll have to listen in Welsh, or have CWR on alongside)

Still six changes. Not sure about bidwell playing CB.

He was great last season

 

[Esoterica]

I assumed it was Bidwell at LCB but suppose it could also be: Burroughs, Dabo, Rose, Panzo, Bidwell?

If Bidwell is at LCB, Panzo at either CB or RCB will be interesting. His positioning is dodgy at the best of times without being on his wrong foot more often.

The Dabo at CB experiment I do not want to see again
