They lost 4-2 last night and Ainsworth made 7 changes due to injury or fatigue. Could do with some more of that on Saturday. :)

Yes, agree, but can see Slade's contract not being renewed in the summer and Sam Ricketts taking over.

I think we need to win Saturday. I know that 4 points from 2 games would be okay and a step in the right direction, but fear that a draw on Saturday could leave us even further behind. That in turn then leads to more pressure. Also a win Saturday would give us a tremendous boost going into...

No. Said before, I think Clarke is an improvement on what we had and so too Beavon. Too soon to judge Rawson and Vernam yet and obviously we have only just got Folivi. The recruitment in the summer was an absolute abomination. We all know it. The jury is still out on THIS recruitment window...

No, we didn't get him. He was first choice, but it fell though, hence the move for Folivi.

Word from City fans who have been and watched the academy players have said Ponticheli is not quite ready yet for first team football.

I am most happy about Stevenson staying.

At least Folivi can play.

Well we still have Wharton and Nasseri on trial and then have just taken Hammond and this Gocgic? Excuse the spelling. Maybe there is a released striker somewhere, but they obviously need to be match fit.

As it stands, I would guess the team will be something like this: RCC DKE Harries Turnbull Haynes Thomas Reilly Stevenson/Bigi Reid/Lameiras Beavon Folivi/Tudgay Defence of course is a big worry

I think we may well just win this one. Needs the right approach and everyone right on their game, but we definitely have a good chance.

Following the announcement that Willis will miss next week's semi-final, I wonder if the CT or the Observer can clarify this .... EFL Trophy Rules Disciplinary • Cautions and sending-offs are exclusive to the tournament and won’t affect other EFL or Premier League fixtures. • Any player who...

Yep. Exodus for sure. Sisu hang your heads in shame.

Yes, my one big worry. For the tactics we have been deploying we haven't brought the right type of player in, that of a big strong target man. We HAVE to change tactics. Going to be pointless just lumping the ball upfield it it is simply going to be swallowed up by the defence. If it is to be...

No, me too.

Yep. Would expect a front two of Vernam and Beavon with the new young lad to come on from the bench if needed. We do need better quality into the box though for sure.

It could. I'm sure the CT said Nasseri had a decent game and put some good crosses in, in the U21 game on Monday. Maybe he might be the answer. Kyel Reid had pretty much zero end product and for all his trickery he doesn't really offer much as a threat.

Yep. The EFL Trophy.

In the first 3 games.

Well that's what I said at first, but it's not very clear is it. As someone said, the league IS a competition. Should have said 'cup' competition if that is the case.
