The 'who boycotted the Leicester game but is going tonight' thread

[Alfreton14Blade]

It will be interesting to see the difference in the crowd. The attendance for the Leicester game was 3632. My guess is that we get about double that for today's game.

Attendance 2,619. Lol.

Losing 1-0 at half time, poor defending for their goal, Reece Brown mishit a clearance. To be fair he has put in a few quality centres.

Are there any Wallsall fans at the match?

Quietest rendition of the Greasy Chip Butty ever!

Game on!!!! Cooooutts!!

2,619 fans will be able to say 'I was there the night Coutts scored'

To quote Crowded House, Don't Dream It's Over.

Fuck sake, Couttsy!

Could have waited till we all got back!

You'd have thought James Shield would have stopped having wet dreams at his age.

Hmmm so there were more there for the Leicester U21 match. So some people actually DID get slightly excited by this new farcical format. Come on own up who were you??? Or did some thick fuckers just think we were playing the champions??

Need to turn the title of the thread around...who the fuck went to the Leicester match but didn't go tonight???

Good explanations are required!

Hold on a minute.

Why have all the teams changed from U23s to U21s?

I thought that. Wasn't 100% sure if they had actually changed though couldn't remember for certain from the last matches.

A satisfying loss.

Out of the competition we go.

COUTTS SCORES A GOAL!!!!!!!!!

We'll have no worries beating Walsall in the league game as long as Coutts plays.

Losing to them here makes us more likely to beat them in the league anyway.

Good game time for Brooks.

Will probably discourage Wilder from going with anything other than 3-5-2 for the time being.

 

[1973Blade]

If we beat Grimsby are we still likely to go through?

So United now have to travel to Grimsby for a dead rubber. Wonder what the fine would be if both clubs just refuse to play it. It should really just be a points deduction in the Checkatrade Trophy. Or maybe banned from participating next season....

How many in the 'I've seen Paul Coutts score twice since the summer break' club? *holds up hand excitedly*

Hope we're putting an academy team in it next year though. . . .

 

[nicksufc]

Joke of a competition, it's bad enough normally but with the inclusion of youth teams it's gone beyond a joke now, and the attendances reflect that. Premiership managers moan about their workload; what about L1 and L2 clubs who have to play 46 league games, start from round 1 of the FA Cup, compete in the League Cup and waste even more time in this Mickey Mouse Cup. Scrap it, please. Genuinely the only competition where I've freely wanted us to lose so we can go out. And the funniest thing? The best academies couldn't even be arsed to enter!

EDIT: You also get stupid situations like this:

[Pittsburg Blade]

Cost more to keep the lights on..

 

[nicksufc]

All in all, I think this will go down as an idea every bit as bad as 3rd place play-offs in the FA Cup. Yes, they were once a thing.

A record low for a Grimsby cup competition......... that record going to last a month I think

 

[Razor1967]

A handful!

I counted 88.

I counted 88.

Was told around 70, but perhaps there were some walk up on the night.

Definitely looked less than 100.
