[La Gaviota]

Our current lack of momentum was initiated by the defeat at Tranmere. Tonight’s game presents an opportunity to get back on track. However, I fear we will make the same mistake and play the youngsters.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

If we play the youngsters, we will lose. Depends what's more important, a rest or this competition.

A rest.

 

[Athers]

Play the same team as Saturday as punishment for putting in such a shite performance. Lose and make them walk home

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Play the same team as Saturday as punishment for putting in such a shite performance. Lose and make them walk home

I appreciate the intent but really, tonight is a night for the yoof.

 

[20togo]

let's not forget that we have to start a certain number of players who played against Reading.

 

[Walnut]

Wemberly Wemberly!

 

[YOUPOOL]

Come on pool! Let’s get a trip to Wembley pls

Lose and tie them to the back of the coach and make them run home. Might improve their fitness.

I didn’t know any of them’ played’ against Reading.

 

[Limechase]

Need to beat Arrogut, bloody Yarkies

 

[Insider]

let's not forget that we have to start a certain number of players who played against Reading.

Its only 4 "qualifying" players, the definition of which is fairly wide ranging but I don't honestly think many of the u18s will be in the squad tonight.
Evo wants to win.

 

[NewburyOne]

Ravizzoli
Lyons Horsfall Husband Ashworth
Hamilton Evans Hansson Banks
Fletcher Bloxham

Could easily be 3 at the back however?!

 

[hertfordseasider]

Starting XI: Ravizzoli, Lyons, Horsfall, Husband ©, Hamilton, Evans, Banks, Hansson, Ashworth, Fletcher, Bloxham

Subs: Bardsley, Nwankwo, Casey, Coulson, Brown, Upton, Bondo

 

[ansdellmafia]

[SouthernSeasider]

[Paul Gardner No2]

CJ and Evans. Deary me. What do these 2 have to do to be banished to the 4 corners of the earth!! Then again CJ could be sent to the moon, miss it and end up on fkin mars

 

[AllOrNothing]

He’s gone strong

That's a matter of opinion

live on 103.9 Chizzy and David Unsworth.. pre match talk right as we speak,

 

[CloBFC13]

is it on the sky sports plus button to watch does anyone know ?

 

[GrahamwantshisOates]

is it on the sky sports plus button to watch does anyone know ?

Yes.

 

[Tangerine1953!]

We’re gonna get an injury tonight 100%

 

[La Gaviota]

Hansson, Evans and CJ in the same team indeed invites many questions. Strong defence and the best forward line we can cobble together but I fail to see what that combination in the middle can offer. I hope to be proved wrong.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

How wrong am I. I thought it would be a night for the yoof but no. Get back out there and put it right!

Is that both Steve and Scott Banks getting a game?

 

[Insider]

Is that both Steve and Scott Banks getting a game?

RB is Banks aka the Lyon.

 

[BFCAleman]

Diamond midfield perhaps ?

 

[ss53]

Was that Casey walking in with a black eye?

 

[poolfc]

Was that Casey walking in with a black eye?

He got clattered on Saturday and then St John's Ambulance tried to put a bandage on

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

Rav with a dodgy kick already. We really need to sort the goalie situation in January

 

[Mexboroseasider]

Many fans there?

Apart from Wiz.

 

[YOUPOOL]

Christ almighty. We looks all over the place

 

[YOUPOOL]

Second best to a team bottom of league two…

 

[Mexboroseasider]

He got clattered on Saturday and then St John's Ambulance tried to put a bandage on

A bandage?

He looked like “The Mummy Returns”

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

Second best to a team bottom of league two…

Calm down it’s been 4 minutes

 

[Paul Gardner No2]

Can’t get out of our half … OMG

 

[tangerine.com]

Calm down it’s been 4 minutes

We should be out of the starting block.

 

[Tangerine1953!]

We are so bad. 5 mins in against 23rd in league 2 and we haven’t made 5 passes

 

[seasidelytham]

Totally incapable of stinging 2/3 passes together and keeping the ball.

 

[tangerine.com]

Oh dear

 

[Jazzer]

Time to switch it off I think.

 

[bill40]

Erm oh dear 1-0

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

We should be out of the starting block.

Why? We know the players don’t have the ability.
