Why? He's just come back from injury. If he doesn't get any game time, I don't think that means it's the end. If MR does want to take it seriously this year, then you'd expect he'd have Wright, Simms and Sakamoto starting and Tavares on the bench.

Agree with the first bit but, although I want to see a strong team, it might not be a bad idea to rest Wright and/or Sakamoto given the gametime they have both had recently.

I think Robins interview sets us up nicely for a weak team on the basis of fatigue.

Unfortunately I think Langstaff is already cup tied but otherwise looks about right!

Will Hamer not be resigned in time for it then?

And what about those two lads from Stevenage?

We've got a big enough squad to change it up. I think we need to give Wright, Saka, MvE, Sheaf & O'Hare the day off.

Apologies, this has probably been asked about 100 times (and probably even on this thread), but with ticketfast can you just scan your phone or do you have to print?

He played an hour for the U21s a month ago so he should be decently fit.

It’s more that if he doesn’t get any minutes this weekend I don’t see him getting any for the rest of the season.

I think there's more recent reasons as well. I know it's cheap but people have paid for aways to Leeds, Sunderland and Boro; more casual fans will probably choose between this and Leicester as well.

You're right though, success brings the crowds in as we've seen and I'd say that's competition dependant. Hardly given us reason in recent years (obviously not all his fault).

He’ll be going out on loan.

“But he needs to play, so the chances of him going out on loan are fairly high in January. These are the conversations that we’re having at the moment so that’s where we’re at with Fabio. There’s been no hard and fast decision been made but with that in my mind, that may be where that leads to. Fabio is aware of that and we’ll just see how he goes and see how he accelerates.”

That Cambridge game is one of three games I’ve ever left early. The others being Bristol Rovers (A) in the same season, boxing day(?) and Southend (A) when Mark Venus was manager and Cov fans were fighting each other.

A lot of people will think that they have invested a lot of money in attending cup defeats to lower-ranked opposition over the past few years under MR.
So if he isn't showing any interest in progressing in the competition it's a bit rich for him to imply the fans aren't interested in coming to watch.
Under those circumstances I think 14,000+ is a pretty good attendance. It will be interesting to see what side he puts out.

The furthest we’ve gone in the FA Cup under him was as a League 2 club which says quite a lot.

Agreed. The onus is on him to show he is taking it seriously to entice the fans to go. I stopped attending cup games after I went down to Cheltenham when we had a chance of progressing in the Checkatrade. Only to find I didn’t know who half our players were and we got hammered 3-0 and made Connor Thomas look like Jude Bellingham!
See you at Villa Park for the 4th round

Really shitty comment from Robins that. Like you say they let fans down last year and with the increased prices recently fans have done the business off the pitch in general. Unlike the team who are 8th, if we were in the top 2 I could expect the comment. I feel like punching him for that comment.

Bit rich when we sold out our allocation immediately to watch us lose to a league two team in the league cup…

To be fair to him he's right, the gate at home to Wrexham last year was significantly down on the league average. Same this year. If the FA cup is magical to people surely they'd turn up with tickets half price.

I read it the other way, he talked about it in relation to that run of games over the Christmas period but said we were out of it and the players had had a break

Fair enough, but the fans have turned up in good numbers to watch us exit the League Cup in the first round most seasons. Not least at Burton last year.
