Do we think it’s likely Sidibe will play? I want to go the game but with the new added time it will be difficult to get home without leaving early but if Sidibe starts then it makes it worth it I think. We he clearly won't start Pearson and I probably wouldn't start one or both of Laurent and DJ. It will be Thompson at least so a fair chance. The lack of squad depth will really show I think. Macari,Tymon and McNally will get gametime. Wesley, Chiquinho and Brown maybe. So I'd say Sidibe is the only option at 8.

Yeah that’s my thinking and it would seem really really daft not to give him a start here. But then I’ve thought that lots of times before and it never seems to happen. We should be making as many changes as possible.

Great competition for Managers to use players who are not picked for a league game, also younger players like Sidibe to gain valuable experience.

If we are looking to progress, we can't play Bonham.

The fans! No one wants to see these games it’s diluted to nothing. I say do away with the Carabao Cup and get the FA Cup back to its former glory. I think you misunderstand what I’m getting at. I want these competitions to draw big crowds with teams wanting to win it with huge incentives to progress. I get what you’re saying. I feel like the ticket prices being lowered like they have been this time around creates an opportunity that makes up for it though. I have a son who I’m not 100% sure will ever cope at a match, but if this kind of price comes up again in a few years time I’d give it a go, as I’d only be a tiny bit out of pocket if it turned out to be a disaster and I had to leave after a couple of minutes. The smaller crowd would make it more likely to work as well. Feels like a good opportunity for people to try it out at least. When there’s some weird stand off though (I believe in the FA cup at least, the away team have to agree to pricing because of how the ticket money is shared) and you have to pay full price to watch your second 11 play a not-quite first 11 from a lower division team… it can’t be denied some cup matches feel like a chore when the league season is nearly 50 games by itself.

Fancy us for the win, even with a changed side. Where is Gayle, Still injured?
Should be a good crowd with the tickets at £13.

Macari and Sidibe should definitely be starting mid week but will they? Really hoping for at least 9 changes: Bonham Macari Wilmot McNally Tymon Thompson Laurent Sidibe Chiquinho Wesley DWP

I look forward to being disappointed 🤣 Mmaee could play on the left I guess? I don’t think for one second DWP will play. But not sure who else (bar Mmaee) could play there?

You watch Onomah will sign and we won't get to see the kid.

Has anyone actually managed to buy tickets online for this? Have been trying all day and it either gives an error message or hangs on the payment in progress page.

When we won it, it meant something, it was a big trophy and nothing will take that away. Now it’s called “The Carabao Cup” and not only do the premier league teams devalue it by putting out reserve teams, every other club in it does as well. Even Vale!

A lot of new signings need game time to get proper match fit. Same side as Saturday

Post by walrus on Aug 6, 2023 21:49:21 GMT
The number of people who think we’ll play a different formation to Saturday is mad.
I can see Mmaee starting as left forward, Chiquinho as right, and Wes through the middle.
