Salford City (H) - Sat 11th Jan, 17:45 | FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 17:45 (GMT).

Tickets are reasonably priced so expecting a decent atmosphere. Looking forward to it.

Hopefully give Neville's lot a bit of a smashing.

All focus should be on this and the Champions League.

 

[Delphinho]

Will go strong as usual, but plenty of subs to be made. I think Lewis, Akanji and Gvardiol should be rested, can’t afford any more injuries to the defence. 45 mins for Ake

Ortega
Walker—JSP—Ake—Mfuni
O’Reilly—Gundo—Nunes
Doku——McAtee——Grealish

They are on a great run,,, 2nd in table - five clean sheets out of 6 ...could be closer than we' like this

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

They are in decent form. Banana skin potential but you’d hope that quality will win out. They will be well up for it tho

I’d genuinely rather see Lakyle Samuel than Walker. Might be a good test of Walker’s level though!

These aren't the days when we got turned over by the likes of Halifax.
My MAIN concern is not picking up injuries due to "miss timed" tackles (as they'll be described by the pundits on duty).

wouldn't be far off - but I don't wanna risk Ake (no idea who else plays there mind). Maybe we could give Mukasa a game here??
