Fleetwood made 10 changes away at Leicester the other night....

Precisely my point. Can't do no harm going Down Scotland's approach, could get the 2 group games and the next round done before the season starts.

What you on about. I mean the last 32 now is 16 prem teams and 16 efl teams as opposed to 20 prem and 12 efl , no one gives a fuck about it, even league one and two teams play reserves, something needs to change to revamp it and the group's before the season is the best way imo.
Not necessarily, only if all the prem teams win in round 2. The only Prem teams guaranteed a last 32 place are the ones in Europe.

Have the final in April again as well and spread the games out more, the amount of games football league sides play in August is ridiculous.

No good for me on a weeknight travelling from the far side of Lincolnshire, shite.

I mean this season as we speak now there are 16 prem teams left, 4 went out this week, it's very rare it's more than that , you must agree something has to change its become like the fucking Johnstone paint trophy, just look at some of the crowds ffs too.

We have Blackpool away in the next round. Aren't their fans boycotting their games? So it will be a weird game with less than 1000 there.

Good chance for us to progress through again. We haven't had a cup run in years; I can't recall us ever having one.

Bournemouth away, I genuinely can't think of a worse draw. Decent chance to progress but it's fucking miles away.

Man U have allocated us 8,500 tickets at £36 a pop. To be sold in three separate sections, presumably we have to pay up front for each batch at a time.

Luckily DCFC are subsidising it down to £25, but it's on tv and as if anyone wants to watch Man U anyway. It's not as attractive as it may have been some years ago, and we played them in the FA Cup nine months ago up there.

A big meh from me, and a lot of other fans I suspect.

Think our Away game at Arsenal is only £10 per ticket. Been given 7,000 so hopefully we take quite a lot!

Would love to have drawn Arsenal or even Man City. We've never played at the Etihad, and it's 10 years since we've played at the Emirates. Even Macclesfield away would have been better than Man U in terms of being able to tick off a new ground

I know they've done it up a bit but we played there in that season KR. It was our first away of the season, midweek.. Michael Johnson 1-0 win for the home team.

Don't remember that. Can't I understand why I didn't go. You sure?
I saw U2 there in 2006 I think, but that doesn't really count towards the 92 I guess.

Yeah definitely, I got the train up and missed the last one home so ended up getting a taxi from Sheffield to home. We actually did alright that night which can't be said for most of that season.

State of that team.

Ah, what a night!

Michael Johnson had the game of his short career and I had him down to become the next Frank Lampard. I would say the best chance he's got of achieving that now is slamming it up a BBC presenter and eventually managing Derby County.


The game and the atmosphere was actually really good.

Quality from us, shame it took penalties to win the match after that performance.

Fuck knows what Frank is doing to Bradley Johnson, ran the show.

Bradford away tomorrow, i'd be making eleven changes personally, need to see how who's ready to come into the side if needed.

Ripley
Clarke, Storey, Huntington, Rafferty
Ledson, Bayliss
Green, Potts, Harrop
Stockley​

Browne didn't start on Saturday but we know all about him, i'd like to see Potts playing as the 10 for a full game.

Same goes for Barkhuizen, he's a known quantity.

Shows how big our squad is right now, that's eleven changes, doesn't include the two above and also missing Nugent & Ginnelly.

Need a couple to go out on loan for their own good.

We'll have a whole different team out against Bristol City, with about 7 fans in attendance.

Be surprised if we managed more than about 600 fans to QPR, I'm not bothering and only know a couple of people that are.

I'd make wholesale changes, see what a few of the new players are about.

Bentley
Periera Moore Baker O'Dowda
Nagy
Eliasson Szmodics Massengo Adelukan
Afobe
Still a bloody good side, better than than the one we had out on Saturday I think.

600 would be bloody good. We'll have about 3000.
