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.

Not sure that's at all relevant given he was talking specifically about the FA cup

I think Robins will field a fairly strong team. I’m sure memories of Wrexham will still be there and Oxford are a decent team currently in the division one play-off positions.

I think that's not a bad shout but with Ayari now gone I would replace him with Allen. We have good players on the bench to bring on if we need to because Robins won't want a replay.

My only other thought is that, with Tatsu in his current form, he could probably beat them on his own so how about:

Wilson

Tatsu Tavares

With that strong lineup we don't really need Tavares but he needs a game to help him get match fit and Robins will want to have a look at him in a competitive fixture.

Players like Tatsu mere presence on the pitch occupy two even three opposition players I would play him.

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.

It was only 2K down on league average and bigger than some league gates. Helped by a big away following of course.

All clubs outside of a select few get reduced gates when playing lower league opposition in the early FA cup rounds. Lots of Championship clubs today at home will get very low gates. If we're looking at 15K+ today that's very healthy. Not sure why it's almost being used as an excuse for not taking it seriously.

For cup games, you start from a base of 0. For league games we only sell around 4K tickets per match above ST holders. All those ST holders that don't turn up but are still counted won't be counted at all today. There will be more there today than the Stoke cup game, for a 12.30 game against a L1 team. Decent that.

Play a strong team, get the job done and take some off early. We want a cup run

I wouldn't be surprised although the Middlesbrough picture had Godden and Palmer on so it's not always a good indicator.

If it’s at the expense of Simms it’ll be a joke.

There’s a list of channels showing it abroad on the club’s website. I don’t think it’s accurate though.

He will be a wide forward I assume. I know u like to poke fun at the kid but I'm interested to see how he does in this formation. Could be a bonus option for us

Well it kind of is given that would also offer the chance of a cup run.

Exactly this. Might be a good chance to see Simms out wide similarly to Wright and see how he fares especially if we are looking at Langstaff coming in up front. Might turn out to be a good option some days to rest saka and play him there if he performs. He does well running the channels from what I've seen so not a bad option to pursue.

Yeah but usually just deposit money and it plays. I was watching a bit of spurs on it last night. There's no commentary and the picture can be small depend how you watch it but that's what I'll be doing

Come on anybody wavering. Get up there and support the lads. As a bonus, if you can find me in the ground, approach me with the phrase 'Is it you I'm looking for?' and you'll ge ta beer (or a black eye if it's not, probably) Offer doesn't extend to @rob9872 or @Hutch11 who have an unfair advantage!!
