Would absolutely love us to take the cup more seriously. I know in recent years we have had to prioritise the league but this year league chances are a lot slimmer and our squad is bigger.
I know Robin's won't see it that way but a good cup run can live long in the memory. People still talk of winning at Old Trafford... They made sodding commemorative scarfs for a game against Blackburn not that long ago! Even the Checkatrade was fun in a bleak season.

Bidwell
Sheaf
Eccles
Allen
Saka

Maybe even cup tie Ayari for the lolz

I think it will be wholesale changes for this one having come out the back of a tough congested festive fixture list, some of the lads need and deserve a rest.

Would be really smart business if we could get a winger in and get them playing in this game.

Hopefully Ayari will be gone before this game

I think they’ll be a tough out as flying high In league 1, hopefully we put out a strong side and keep this good form going with a decent win.

Maybe instead of Gary Mabbutt’s knee we will one day talk about Yasin Ayari’s knob.Shame about Ayari. He'll be remembered forever for that one goal, and it got us a point I believe - we could end up in the playoffs by that margin...

Depends if they prioritise the league and make changes as they are flying high. When the draw was made they were about 8 places below us in pyramid and probably thought they had a chance. Now they are about 20 below us and the chances a lot lower on our current form.

Binks
Bidwell > sub off for Jay around 55 minute mark
Joel Lat (cm)
Eccles (cm) > bring sheaf on for a run out last 25 mins
Kasey Palmer (cam) > sub off for Cal around 60th min mark
Sakamoto > bring on Jamie Allen around the 60 min mark
Simms
Wright

Saka and Wright played a lot of minutes recently, I don't expect them to start.

Gives him a chance to prove his Lge 1 credentials, as some have said.

I hate it when we put out a weak team for a cup game. I love the FA Cup and think we should try to go far, or at least until we get smashed by a massive team. It's good for morale and drives teams on I think. A couple of changes to use the squad maybe but not a whole second string. That game last year was dreadful (although I guess it didn't do us any harm for the second half of the season, what do I know?)

Is there still this rule where you have to start 5 of the players from the last league game?

I seem to recall something like that but for the League Cup? - Honestly not sure.

Love this mate. Hope he enjoys it. My one regret about moving from the area is that I won't be able to do this with my son as much as I'd like.

That was the checkatrade trophy.
For the FA Cup the rule is:
Each team participating in a match shall represent the full available strength of each competing club.

I can see Oxford resting a few for this one too, given their league position

Wilson
Lati
Thomas
Binks
Dasilva
Kelly
Ayari
allen
Palmer
Godden
Simns
hoping for a 2-1
Really exciting week for the club coming up!

Sounds like there'll be a lot of kids at this one, taking my 6 year old niece to her first game as well.
Fucking day trippers.
