If Oscar Bobb plays it will be a miracle

I did say we had one or two injuries. The point was. More or less we are being built for this fixture logjam, now and in the future, to be competitive irrespective of the competition.

Looks like we could toss this one away by playing loads of kids. I wouldn't be arsed one bit

I'm suprised they didn't switch the game to Vicarge Road so we could play on the Wednesday.

Just play the under 18’s they would probably get a favourable result against Watford .. Not worth any of the first team playing a single minute in this competition..

It’s that aspect which makes this a real kick in the teeth for the club for me. So we need to be able to field 3 teams basically, is that what we’re saying?

Yep, under 18s play EDS and EDS play first team.

Problem is, our u18s are mostly really young.

I know Carabao is lowest priority, and you get more prize money for winning your 3rd round FA Cup game than for winning the Carabao final etc, but it it’s the principle wrt player welfare which hacks me off. I’d honestly rather have seen a Wednesday 6pm KO arrangement.

We might play a few kids, doesn’t mean it will be tossed away.
