Is anyone actually going tomorrow?

Luton in the Cup

Yes. I can't wait to see our reserves if we have any.

Matt Connolly and Martin John to score a brace each

Doubt Warnock will even be there.

Joking aside we may as well have a crack at it. The league season feels dead already- maybe it’s not but that’s how it feels- we won’t go up or down.

We may as well at least put a 10% effort in the cups. I appreciate that’s unlikely

Luigi Glombard and Andrea Ferretti leading the attack I heard.

I am - the law of averages says we're due a decent cup game sometime soon;-

My guess at tomorrow's team;-

Day

Nelson
Morrison
Flint
Brown

Hoilett
Vaulks
Paterson
Ralls
Vassell

Bogle

Win on Friday and we can leapfrog as high as 4th. :sherlock:

It's not been a promising start but still a bit early to hoist the white flag.

Law of large numbers (LLN).

No and NW will not risk any first team players would be my view :wave:

Not sure it's a wise decision but I plan to be there. Haven't got a clue as to what to expect.

Should have added this fixture as an away for Jacks tickets,that would up the attendance a bit.

Would laugh my tits off if the initial criteria was 5 aways plus Luton in the cup at home 😁

To have a decent cup game Bob,you need the manager, the team and the fans to be up for it
Something we’ve been lacking on all three fronts, for quite a few seasons now.

If there's one thing I've learned it's Neil Warnock doesn't give a flying toss about Cup competitions since he's been here and I've got a couple of quid on Luton as a result. :hehe:

Dont understand why any real supporter wouldnt want to go, as long as they are not away, working or ill. Supporting a team is about following the club through thick and thin, not just about going when they are playing well or against glamorous opponents. People who moan about games like this are usually the ones who like airing negative opinions about everything City and dont actually go regularly to matches in the first place. Of course, they will be the first ones in the ticket queue if we get to Wembley or draw Liverpool or Man City. Tonight is an ideal opportunity to see some fringe players in action and to enjoy an evening out with friends, supporting my team.

first game of the season for me tonight . Bluebirds

This is the championship. Nothing is decided by Christmas, never mind august.

Not that I'll be watching. I'm avoiding football until the ashes is finished

As a ‘true fan’ who would’ve chopped his arm off rather than miss a (home) game for decades I couldn’t disagree more. If the club were to take this game seriously you may have a point but they will not, it will be a turgid, insipid display from professionals who won’t want to be out there, whether or not they have a point to prove. We will get slaughtered by the 2nd XI of a team who were in league 1 last year - and nobody will be surprised or, worst still, give a damn.

Velikonja on the bench

would love to see newport smack west ham

I’d like to see Glatzel get half an hour at the end tonight, and hopefully break his duck. Good prep for Friday night.

Can’t see Ralls playing.
He’s too crucial to us.
Would also expect Coxe to play and one of the centre halfs to be rested.

👍. Cannot argue with any of that.

We're 6 points off first place with 123 points to play for. We're one win away from the playoffs. As they say: "keep the faith".

Well, I will certainly give a damn as you put it. I dont understand how someone like you, who makes out to be a ‘true fan’, can even think like that. You obviously have an axe to grind. Every one of the players picked either has a point to prove or needs to get match fit. This is our club, don't take it for granted - look whats happening at Bolton. Lets hope for a good game, a few goals and a win, hopefully that will make your prediction look even more stupid than it sounds.

Hope we win 5-0, but I'll be listening from home. Not paying extra to go to a game the hierarchy don't take seriously. If the club had any sense they'd have made this free for season ticket holders.

I speak from past experience, plenty of it, not some vain hope for entertainment. I expect the pathetic turn out tonight will be agreeing with me by 9.40pm. Would love to be proved ‘stupid’ but I very much doubt it.

It's never nice winning money off the back of City losing, but with Warnock as predicable as he is, why not? :shrug:

I knew I shouldn't.
