Just shows the importance of the trophy though. Still three ties to complete this current round. Walsall play Oldham next week, then there is Southampton v Reading on the 21st December and then there's Leicester v Cheltenham, which is not until 10th Jan.
Next round is 17th Jan.
Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't last year we say we had a top 8 budget and TM said this season that it was slightly less than that this time out?
That would point to midtable.
They do 16 groups of three, then one team is going to have to wait days for their first game in the competition, with the other two teams facing each other and then needing at least 3 days break.
Yeah. It is so true that you do get so much a better picture of the game from the stands. At ground level it can often be a bit of a blur and your line of vision blocked.
Much easier to see the space and the marking and lack of from the stands.
Was thinking Willis, Turnbull and Page at the back, yep.
Can't figure it out otherwise. Bigi as a wing back? But then if so, who as wing back on the other side? Surely wouldn't risk McCann there would you? I mean in terms of needing him in the middle of the park.
