[DifferentClass]

They have a player called Pele but I think his surname is Smith

Can't wait for a few years time when we have lads called Messi Thompson and Cristiano-Ronaldo Jones coming through...

 

[Gin&Juice]

Do they still play Captain Pugwash when they score? Like nails on a chalkboard, flashbacks to losing or conceding when Adkins was in charge.

 

[SB_90]

as i was saying on shoutbox earlier this morning. since 1991 league cup 4th rd.
2002/03 - semi final
2008/09 - 4th round
2013/14 - semi final

there is weirdly alot of history on this Fleetwood match

Chong and Lundy Arblaster-Wilder…..

Hopefully we'll not find out

As expected although I'm surprised Baptiste's not being given a run out.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Chance to get further than we have since 2014

 

[Harry's Game]

Phillips not in the squad…

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Out and about. Fleetwood seems like a downgrade on Grimsby at the mo.

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

Expected Davies and Baptiste to play to be honest. Not surprised that Peck and Phillips are rested.

 

[Shawy24]

Keeping Choudhury back for last 20 when we’re protecting the 0-0 and playing for penalties.

 

[Champagneblade]

What do we reckon? 4-3-3 or perhaps 4-2-3-1 with Arblaster in the 10?

Or 3-4-3 with Donovan right side of the 4?

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

1-1 - 2016
Scorer ................
Where is he now?

 

[Nick Jansky]

Phillips not in the squad…

Still on the iron lung following Sunday. He’ll be back on Saturday.

Something at Rochdale I think.

Hoping 433, we've gone to thay formation during last 2 games for 20 mins or so & looked stronger. Hoping cw has noticed this and that it suits the players more and this his him trying it out from the off.

Also suits arbalster much more where he doesnt have to be as athletic. Would be nice to see him slightly in front of the other 2 cms rather than flat 3.

Overall suprised with the squad and stronger selection, with Tanganga & cooper in the squad.

 

[blademark]

That works for me, to be honest that's a strong lineup showing we've got a deep squad.
Unfortunately it's very average also.

Deeply average

or Currie Rice

[brownblade]

We must be trying to win the cup, as Cooper isn't rotated for Davies!

 

[VictoryBlade]

Out and about. Fleetwood seems like a downgrade on Grimsby at the mo.

I know Fleetwood pretty well and in the main its a bit of a dump (after they lost the Atlantic fishing fleet - Iceland) but Rossall beach and Larkhill Grasslands are excellent, particularly for dog walking!

 

[luffenhamblade]

I always get excited about cup games. If we build a trophy cabinet, they will come...

If we build it with carpenters of a similar quality to our players it will fall off the bleeding wall!

shhh..dont tell shortarse

 

[Bobby Boo]

The Widler not fucking abaht toneet. He wants to go to Wembley.

 

[rudster]

Country recs for the VPN?

 

[espoo blade]

Cooper wearing Yellow is a bit weird! I suppose it's just about different enough from our away yellow

 

[sportsmanblade]

sounds good support from travelling blades as per UTB

 

[Berkshire Blade]

How are we getting away with the keeper kit looking pretty close to the away kit?!
