Their somewhat flimsy excuses are also being lined up with gusto, just in case we beat them like:
1)
First 11 injured - whoever they are, seen as though Carloss never seemed to know who his best 11 were when everyone was fit. They also seem to forget that they had everyone fit bar Forestfairy and Hutchinson [who they will of course claim are their 2 best players] in September, yet we still mullered them with 1 fit striker in the squad that day. I notice how none of them mention that we will be without Coutts.
2)
United will have more recovery time as we have to replay the cup match - or it's an opportunity for the new guy to test things out? In any case sorry lads, you should have beaten that league 2 team shouldn't you.
3)
The players don't have the character - but hang on, every one of their players is supposedly better than ours and if the new guy cannot get them up for this then they may as well have well stuck with Bullen.
4)
The players aren't fit enough - similar to the above, surely their vastly superior footballing ability will see them overcome our hard working team of pub players?
