12pm KO?

A few games on at that time-any ideas why?

Is it televised? If so where?

I believe we are live on BT Sports via the red button.

Hope we play dog as I cannot watch it as I do not have BT

Ccfcisparks · Jan 3, 2021

Play the 23's and rest everyone else. This should be prime fodder for Hilssner, Bapaga, Da Costa, Pask, Baka to get game time.

Sky Blue Harry H · Jan 3, 2021

Will be strange, as I would expect Norwich to play their reserves, as they will have all eyes on autos.

Hope we go out. Our priority is the league, nothing else. From it's heyday the FA Cup has become just another competition. Play the reserves.

steve101 · Jan 3, 2021

Financially, at least short-term, there may be pressure to play a strong team to hopefully progress through to the next round, though a good opportunity to give some minutes out to peripheral players.

hinckley cov · Jan 3, 2021

I think we should put out a strong side as winning breeds confidence, plus we need the cash.

Paxman II · Jan 3, 2021

Prize fund is not worth a spit in the ocean. The money is in crowds, and qualifying for europe.
Around 60k if we win at Norwich. 20k if we don't. That will pay for the hotel, bus ride and bacon sarnies. Even a losing semi-finalist gets just 450k which would not by Godden's boot straps. Perspective. We need to throw everything at the league and ensure we stay up and progress.

fernandopartridge · Jan 3, 2021

Go for it. Do not play a weakened team. You can hardly call out big sides for devaluing an esteemed competition and then do it yourself.

What about the tv revenue?

Again limited. Only worth something in late rounds and if you are on 'live'

Agree with the sentiment but the reasoning is a bit out. 450k would easily buy you Godden in full.

Why Billson and not Camp?

Guessing Camp will have a hefty appearance fee. Plus, what do we gain from playing Camp? May as well give Billson the experience. If he’s not ready just play Wilson

SleepyGinger · Jan 3, 2021

I think he will go for

Camp

da costa
Ostigard
Hyam
Thompson
Giles

sheaf
Allen

Shipley
Hillsner/bapaga

Baka

Tommo1993 · Jan 3, 2021

Wouldn’t be disappointed with a weaker team at all. Just avoid embarrassment.

Colin Steins Smile · Jan 3, 2021

I’m not sure focussing on the financial gain for a cup run, if it compromises us staying in the Championship.
£60k for a win in round 3 .... even if we make the semi final and lose but get £450k , we might make £750k on the cup run without crowds v £7m for staying up.

If MR thinks we can play a full strength team through the cup games and it not risk our Championship status, then I back him.

Support the decision.... whatever it is. PUSB

Why not some unknown from the street so Grendel can use him in his Christmas quiz in a few years?

Somerset Sky Blue · Jan 3, 2021

Think we should play a reasonably strong side.
In terms of rests - Millwall had a couple of weeks off and looked off the pace. Our fixtures seem a lot lighter (in terms of few midweek games), so only rest of required or limited cover (attack) - depending on transfers in and out!
Keep playing,fitness up and confidence.

Kind of agree but if we got to the final I’d be all over the place.

We saw with Millwall that a break didn't necessarily help either.

More cash, more confidence, more profile for people to join us / our players' value to go up... and if we can't cope with an extra 90 minutes in a season, what's the point.

edgy · Jan 4, 2021

I dont think we'll see vast changes. It's a week after Millwall and then we have a week until next game. No need to rest purely down to fixtures. Keep the core and maybe give minutes to some fringe players, without the fear of points being lost.

£450k is about a month's turnover in a L1 year with gates.

You've got off to a flyer this year!

Sbarcher · Jan 4, 2021

Are there any financial penalties in the Cup for playing a weaker team?

fernandopartridge · Jan 4, 2021

Incidentally, fitness wise we looked far more energetic than Millwall on Saturday, maybe our long break vs Championship sides not really having one will start to tell now, especially now we've got Dabo the machine at full fitness.

Don’t think so

The good old FA have said [in a panic?]that ties will be played,worrying about the increasing cancellations and new mutant virus.
All you need ,they have said,is 14 fit players to play,no mention of the usual bollox.....!!!!!
So,MR could give players plenty of rest,a free hit,he didn't enjoy the journey across to Norwich for the league clash,so won't be taking this too seriously i think???

covcity4life · Jan 4, 2021

SKY SPORTS AND PREMIER LEGAUE HAVE TUINED THE GAME!!!!

I HOPE WR GO OUT OF THE FA CUP AND PLAY THE KIDS

....ok

ccfctommy · Jan 4, 2021

I would make some changes, but not play the under 23s as some are suggesting we do. It is the FA Cup after all.
