It's weird, not used to us battling every second and third ball

 

[stevefloyd]

Imagine you can instill that in players eh Nick

 

[Wheelfass]

Unlucky!
Explains a lot though

A lot of posters on here see you as a .

 

[Skybluebrummie]

Get in!!! Always loved Lameiras. Great player!!

i agree he's totally.......cack

 

[Monners]

HT yet?

 

[Nick]

HT yet?

Just

I'd like to see the pair of them phased out now.

Yeah, by Captain Kirk.

 

[rupert_bear]

Next round is it last 8 or 4 ?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Some lovely football.

Stokes looks very secure, harries lovely on the ball. Bigi and ghadzev look a bit poor but lots of effort and commitment.

Not a bad crowd either

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Someone moaning about swearing on CWR.

Oh dear, they must have been reading that thread on here!

#CCFC XI: Charles-Cook (GK), Di. Kelly-Evans, Stokes, Harries, Haynes, Gadzhev, Bigirimana, Jones, Lameiras, G.Thomas, Beavon (C). #PUSB

Just tuned in, I believe this team will result in a fine as I thought you have to play 5 who started the previous match?

 

[hill83]

Yeah, by Captain Kirk.

Not into Star Wars

 

[Gazolba]

If anything this competition is proving that young players usually come up short against experienced opposition, even if from a lower level. I hope I didn't jinx us by saying that.

 

[Otis]

8.

 

[chiefdave]

8, quarter finals. Then a single leg semi final this year and then Wembley!

 

[wingy]

Wish they'd kicked off at 7 like some of the others so I can get some shut eye. :'(

Exactly.

It also seems as we are starting to look a bit better, Bigi is looking more and more average.

 

[stevefloyd]

So atm Beavon seems the new hero 2 games 1 goal and 2 assists...

 

[Nick]

8 I think

 

[Otis]

Nope. Either 5 from the previous match, or players who have made the most appearances this season.

Eakin says we meet the requirement.

 

[sw88]

Even if it's against kids, it's nice to be the better team for once

 

[Dimi_Konstantflapalot]

How many there roughly? More/less/same as Crawley?

About 2000 I reckon

I hate sitting here. Everyone is either dead, deaf, wilting or being embalmed.

Also hate the view cos I am much lower. Was cussing Lameiras for his miss hit shot that hit the side netting, only to find on the replay it was a finely placed shot into the net.

There was a twitter poll earlier but seve Caroenter asking if fans would join the bandwagon / not boycott if we got to the semi;

Would #SkyBlues fans still boycott Checkatrade Trophy matches if Russell Slade's slight made it to the final at Wembley? #PUSB

So far 279 votes, 78% saying no

 

[stevefloyd]

On some match stats it says we have had 35% possession compared to Brightons 65%...is that right?

Course they won't boycott. There will be a massive clamour for tickets.

Even if you are NOPM, just how many years since our last Wembley visit and win there?

Would people seriously turn down the chance to be involved with the only bit of possible success in an age?

50/50 on bet365. And I'd believe a betting site over anyone else as they have money riding on it.

 

[wingy]

Who's boycotting
They've made no attempt at marketing these games and put a self imposed ceiling on attendance by nominating that stand
Open the other side and they can legislate for between 2K and 10K.

Brighton have done nowt. Can't believe they have had more possession than us.

Yeah, I'd be all over it. And I wouldn't be in the slightest bit ashamed or embarrassed.

No it's finch

 

[sw88]

Stokes off for Finch

Good move since we're not really being tested and gives Stokes 45 mins
