This competition stands on its own in terms of suspensions, so the weekends League suspensions do not apply. McFadzean & Biamou will therefore be eligible to play. I would therefore expect the team to be: Wilson Watson Drysdale McFadzean Williams Mason Eccles Walsh Shipley Kastaneer Biamou

In terms of the Ricoh I remember Adel Taarabt being particularly good for QPR.

A few already mentioned - Shilton for Forest in 1978 was best goalkeeping display I ever saw against us. Barnes in the 6-1 defeat by Liverpool, when we actually had a half decent team and took the lead through Gallacher - Ronny Rosenthal was also unplayable that day. Shearer after he had first...

Morrell was not crap, neither was John. The criticism of John at the time was because he could have done so much better. Most people could see that his natural talent meant that potentially he could have been a regular in the Premier League, given which it has to be considered that he...

I only saw Glazier in his last few seasons but I remember him as quite an iconic figure. His dives to save the ball were balletic & visually exciting to watch. As for the Oggy v Blyth debate I would pick Blyth too. Obviously Oggy's longevity was incredible, but for me Blyth was a more complete...

Jim Blyth was criminally under used by Scotland. More so when you consider Alan Rough was picked ahead of him. Now he really was clumsy!!

Yes O'Hare broke through and we were effectively 2 on 2. I was screaming at him to go for the goal but he drifted to the right looking like he was giving himself the opportunity to go for the corner flag, but in doing so taking away our opportunity to get a 3rd. Then from the edge of the penalty...

We would have actually been better off trying to score a 3rd. They were short at the back having sent their big centre back up front, but we played for the corners and got dispossessed allowing them to then break and score.

The ref indicated it was disallowed for hitting Bakayoko's hand, but there's no way the ref could have seen it, and it looked like he guessed. The TV pictures certainly look if it came off anyone's hand then it was the defender's.

I think Westbrooke disguised his kick better than Hiwula did, and as such the keeper was later in diving to his left than the MK keeper was. As said by others he also hit it sweeter and at a less comfortable height for a keeper to save it.

Really tough game - couldn't be playing them at a worse time given their current form. That said we do tend to play better against the better teams. I would stick with the bulk of the team that finished yesterday, although Biamou might not be fit enough to start so might he then go with Hiwula...

Both Drysdale and Williams look promising enough to step in if one of the 3 centre backs got injured. In fact it could make it easier for them to progress into the team if they have 2 more experienced partners alongside them than just the one. With the players available to us at this time, and...

I also remember the Fleetwood game last season. They were very physical and strong, with Evans being a real handful for our defence, so I can see some logic in playing 3 centre backs, with Kelly holding in midfield & pushing the 2 full backs a bit further forward, but is MR ready to change...

Seems like it was pretty much all us. Was Enobokhare playing for them?

Damn - it doesn't just happen to Clive Eakin!!

I'm presuming that's just a guess on your part. The most obvious TV game to my mind is Harrogate v Peterborough.

In judging non league players stepping up it's always useful to factor in the benefits of full time training, and not having to do another job, with the added tiredness and stress that might bring.

Presuming Godden is still unavailable the only change I see is Kelly in, probably for Westbrooke, allowing Walsh to play a little more advanced. Noticed Walters did really well for the U23's the other day, so he might be a long shot to give us a different option off the bench.

Good points made, but it looks like Robins is favouring McCallum over Mason at the moment, not that I'm personally bothered too much about which one plays, as I think their pretty much on a par. Mason has better tactical awareness, while McCallum offers more physicality to the defence. However I...

Just do the same as in Rugby - once the clock runs out, the final whistle/ hooter goes when the ball is next dead, apart from if there is a foul, when the game should still continue.
