Interesting that Andreu is being considered. Would be shocked to see him on the bench.

In his pre-match interview apparently. Said he's looking sharp but the medical team are advising against it. Not heard the interview myself.

Ah, haven't heard it either. Will have a listen.

It might be a bit too soon, especially with Notts County....

The only scenario would be if we are a goal down with 20 minutes to go at meadow lane. Can't see why we'd risk it otherwise.

Yes Robins hinted at that, but no chance he will go against medical advice.

He like like he was drooling when he mentioned Andreu....and that has just me drooling!

Maybe it’s just lunchtime.

He said he’s been reading your pre match comments.

And he’s instructed one of our players to break one of their players legs in first minute.

What we need is to smash their players in the first minute to show we won't be bullied and the battle is on.

Let's not lie to ourselves that one of our players absolutely hammering one of theirs in a 50/50 and all the players having a scuffle wouldn't get the fans going and set the tone



We also need to be switched on from the first minute, none of this like Lincoln where we let them get in early and set how the game is going to be.

See how he waits for the grown up to turn round and then BAM. I'm thinking Ameobi into the hoardings after 2 mins should do it.

It's true, maybe not a leg break but for example in the first minute Davies absolutely clatters one of their strikers and there is a bit of handbags between players the fans would be mad for it and it would pass on to the players. Especially against a team like Notts who play the dark arts, it's what we needed against Lincoln rather than just rolling over.

Would be great as well if the ref sends him off.

It doesn't need to be bad enough to send him off...

Fed up of seeing us getting literally battered and if the last Notts County game it is the way they will set out.

It's 6 minutes 52 into the 8 minute ifollow video.

MR: I'm looking at Tony Andreu and Tony looks absolutely outstanding.
Geoff: Does he prefer bourbons or custard creams? (Just kidding!)
Geoff: Could he be in contention?
MR: I'm being told no chance by the medical team but I'm watching him and thinking I just wish I had him available because he's some player. It's just interesting because he's worked so hard to get to that point. What's the pay off? I've been told that the risk is too great but it's just there, it's tantalisingly close but probably just a little bit out of our reach.

Also says that Willis is over his illness and been training this week.

I wish they wouldn't talk about injuries. Do they think Kevin Nolan doesn't have an ifollow account or something. Leave the opposition guessing.

I'd just mislead them all the time and bullshit to throw them off.

"Yeah so McNulty is injured so we will go with Biamou and JCH up front"
"So at the back we will have loads of injuries so it will be shipley and McDonald at centre half"

Maybe Andreu will be ready for a cameo 15 minutes IF we make it to Wembley.

Not a chance I’d risk Andreu this season, have him firing for next year with a full preseason.

He’s very tempted though. Did MR listen to back room staff about Bayliss?

Very true but it’s not his mental strength or ability to step up we’re questioning... its if his knee is ready for the demands of playing at full tempo.

It’s crazy the amount of ACL injuries we hear of in the modern game of fully fit knees going, personally it’s not worth the risk.

He's been out a long time. 8 months.

Medical staff being extra cautious.

Robins will make the right decision.

Yes ofcourse it is.

But it's two massive games. And he's been training. I mean why did MR even mention it.

But he's training.

I'm sorry but only an idiot would be pleased with a draw in the home leg of a 2-leg tie.
We need to win and preferably by two goals.
A draw or even a one-goal defeat, would still leave us with an outside chance, but the odds are if that happens, we'll go out.

If MR wants to bring him on a meadow lane in the 80th min and he score a cracking 89th min winner to take us Wembley I’ll accept it was the right decision... however I’d contain the idea till August
