[El Volví]

If you'd like to join in with the Welsh National anthem tomorrow but don't know the words, here's the English version for you:

My hen laid a haddock, one hand oiled a flea, Glad farts and centurions threw dogs in the sea, I could stew a hare here and brandish Dan's flan, Don's ruddy bog's blocked up with sand.
Dad! Dad! Why don't you oil Auntie Glad?
Can whores appear in beer bottle pies, O butter the hens as they fly!
Etc...

 

[robbiez666]

I think this will be a tough physical game.

I would make a fair few changes against Wrexham

---------------------------Davies
----Sachdev--------Bash--------Egan-----Robbo------Lowe
---------------Berge-------Doyle------Osborn
----------------------Sharp----------McAtee

subs

Wes, Bogle, Byabu Anel, Coulibaly, Norwood, Ndiaye, McBurnie, Jebbo

Davies is obvious

I'd give Bogle a rest. He looked knackered on Friday and he could probably use one after coming back from injury. I'd rather go like for like and give a youngster a chance than play someone out of position. Ditto with Anel. Reckon he'd benefit from a rest and Bash adds experience with a youngster next to him. Solid and experienced CB 3.

I'd play Doyle in the Norwood role, just to see if he can do it in case we lose him to injury. I think he's most suited but questions around the defensive side of his game. If all going well, take him off on 50-60 and give Berge a go there and Coulibaly a 30/40 minute run-out. Osborn on the left hand side of midfield for a bit of energy.

I'd give Ndiaye a rest and also see if McAtee can play that role (in case we need him to). I'd start Sharp for his experience against a non-league defence and given he'll be next to someone who isn't. They seem to link up pretty well, as well.

Not a bad bench if things aren't going well, as well.

 

[Harry's Game]

Any result but a draw please.

 

[ShropsBlade]

Any result but a draw please.

Surely not a loss to non league?

 

[sheff_blade90]

as we know from our run in 2014, this is going to be a very tough match. i cant help but be nervous. team going to be at its peak, biggest game of wrexham history for many years & crowd will be up for this, so it feels like it has all the ingredients for a cup upset espically being the big at 4.30pm on TV. so take these lightly at your peril as we are going to have to be treat this like Burnley

like all big cup games v underdogs this all comes down to who scores the 1st goal. its absolute must we have to score the opening goal as if Wrexham get i think we are in for a tough night

 

[Harry's Game]

Surely not a loss to non league?

Not reight bothered tbh

 

[Scarebus]

What fucking planet am I living on

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Hope there’s no Beattie flu stopping certain key players making the squad

Dylan Thomas at his very best.

I'd go similar but probably squeeze Coulibaly in there for Doyle.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Ive read in the press today they have a long throw specialist in their team.......Tozer........i'm reyt shittin misen nah.

But we have one too.

Perhaps we could just resolve the game and have a long throw comp.

Oh and how is Howards bad back these days.

 

[The_Wrexham_Cartel]

Really fortunate its on TV and ESPN. We could quite easily have sold another 10-15 thousand tickets
Every time you pass the ground tourists seem to be having their photos taken or buying merchandise in the club shop

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

3-0 win !!

I watched highlights of their last two games and:
1. Howard is susceptible to shots from distance.
2. Their midfield is non existent.
3. They have a long throw.
4. Their two main strikers, Mullen and Palmer are a threat, but shouldn't be an issue to our defence.
5. Their defence will shit themselves when Ndiaye runs at them!
6. Apparently they have a couple of their first team players out injured; I think Mendy (forward) is one and a defender the other.

Would like to see Osula in the squad.

 

[robbiez666]

Cup tied and injured. May even still be suspended

 

[Sneinton Blade 1952]

Cup tied and injured. May even still be suspended

Oh. Righto. Forgot. Thanks Robbie.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Get 2 early goals and then take it easy

So the usual approach really. But it would make more sense today

Coulibaly must start. Bogle must not

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

What fucking planet am I living on

We just got the Hollywood treatment. Pass the sick bucket.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

100% banana skin this one, they will want it more be all over is from the off, big scalp on the BBC.
Not sure we’ll be too bothered win or lose.

Christ I thought I was the nervous type when it came to United but I yield Sir to your incredible nervosité. We’ll be reyt

Hope Ndiaye isn’t playing

 

[Chadders]

a match up of biblical proportions!

 

[broomhillblade]

Do we get any of the TV money or does it just go to the home team?

 

[Green7361]

If we press the life out of them from the start I don't honestly believe they'll be able to cope and we'll just keep regaining possession, that's why we should start with our strongest team and make subs after about an hour, would definitely start with Jebbison or Mcburnie, alongside N'Diaye

 

[Tramway Blade]

Hope Ndiaye isn’t playing

Hope he is it means he is staying

I reckon it will be other way round, they will be on us from the first minute not giving us time to settle and dictate play.
