Mark Draper was a Notts player, and quite a legendary one too. I met Colin Slater once so I know who he was and the esteem in which he was held by Notts supporters. I'm actually more surprised a Notts fan wouldn't know the difference between the two rather than by Clive Eakin's confusion!

Was slightly embarrassing when he gave his in game eulogy to the BBC Nottingham football reporter, Colin Draper. All well and good but his name was actually Colin Slater!

If I remember right their defenders looked a bit slow and ponderous at our place so really would prefer we start with Gyokeres today, who is our most mobile forward.

Last week excepted Dabo has not been too bad at LWB. Would obviously be better if he was naturally left footed but still rather he face Dembele than Shipley.

Only if he's better than Rose/ McFadzean/ Hyam, Clarke-Salter

We've not made any signings!

Boro and Stoke could be in the scenario Villa and Derby were a couple of seasons ago where they gambled that getting in the PL would eliminate the likelihood of any sanctions. It obviously worked for Villa but not for Derby! Both Boro and Stoke have owners that will stick with them though.

To a degree, but still an amazing achievement to win the cup only about a dozen years after entering the league. They also had some good players and wouldn't have just made it through gamesmanship and physicality alone.

Confidence and self belief is a huge factor in a players career and development. If matched with natural ability, athleticism and a hunger to improve you have the template for the perfect professional footballer. Human nature is such however that self belief is probably the hardest of those...

In one game! Prior to that Dabo had looked quite comfortable on the left. Why move Kane when he is one of our most dangerous outlets on the right, when the result is that we end up weaker in 2 positions rather than just one?

Could be a decent move for him. At the moment he seems as far as ever from making it with us and really needs to kick start his career and live up to some of the promise he has shown intermittently here.

Forest

Notts County because my Dad supported them - also watched them a few times over the years. Dislike Forest though, more than Villa or Leicester. Polar opposites politically but for different reasons I also have a soft spot for both Legia Warsaw and St Pauli.

Kane cannot play left back anymore than Da Costa can. He was rubbish when he played there earlier in the season.

Kane was worse than Dabo when he played left back earlier in the season. Don't see the point in weakening us at both RWB & LWB, but hopefully Maatsen can play and we won't be weak at all. I wouldn't be worried about Dabo facing Dembele either as he is a completely different player to Ebosele...

It will be confirmed once the TV companies have picked their games.

If Moore's performances had been poor Wilson might have had a claim after Saturday, but they haven't. Wilson will only stay in goal if Moore isn't fully recovered from covid.

Remember the last time we were in the Championship when we stuffed Blackburn at their place, who at that time were of a similar PL stature to Southampton today? The worse that can happen is that we get beat (which will be expected anyway) and we have to concentrate on the league. Let's try and...

We will be playing in a big ground where we can take a large support, and with an outside chance of getting through. Unless we get drawn against a big 6 team it seems it will always be a shit draw to some, who are so clearly enraptured with the glamour of the PL it makes me wonder why they...

Good job the team turned up then, even if you didn't. You'd have been the first to slag them off if they had approached the game with the same enthusiasm you did.
