2017/18 Checkatrade Trophy thread

[Imp in Branston]

Think ours has been £10/5 concessions throughout the tournament. Looking like a home sell out at present tonight which will no doubt really please everyone.

Yeah I know you're taking this joke cup seriously mate, but perhaps you could field an under strength side tonight? Just a thought pal.

Love xxxx.

Why are Sky showing this game tonight? I presume they will be doing the same for the other semi and not just one involving Chelsea so they can go on about Conte?

His comments are more pointing towards Yeovil, who were accommodated for their Friday night game by cancelling their Tuesday one. He's got a point in that respect.

Wont be watching, but I really hope that the commentators stop with this shit about Ampadu. He is NOT a product of the Chelsea academy ffs. It boils my piss when big clubs poach youngsters and then a bit further down the line get credited with producing "home grown" talent.

Exeter spotted the lad and developed him, they deserve the credit not Chelsea.

I agree, why can't they do the same as they did for us?

The point in the article about Lincoln having 5 games in 15 days isn't going to get any sympathy though, all teams have those sorts of runs around this time of year. We've just started a run of 5 games in 14 days ourselves.

All home tickets sold

Hopefully Lincoln do well in this cup over the next 2 games and then struggle with their already faltering league form

 

[Richard Cranium]

Just out of interest do any of you Lincoln lot on here boycott, or were you boycotting and now attend or did you just never boycott at all?

 

[Indian Dan]

Have they not got any sock drawers that need tidying?

Not sure 1 loss in 14 is faltering per se. It's basically what you were doing about 6 games ago!

I struggle for midweek games anyway so I've never really had a choice on it. If I could, I'm actually not sure what I'd do although I think I said earlier in this thread that I'd not attend the U21 games but the rest of them. Having said that, in the last few years I've not really done the early round of these type of cup games i.e. Checkatrade or FA Trophy.

--------------------------

As for the game, Cowley's been pretty ruthless with Farman again and dropped him. Bostwick back at CB, Whitehouse (who's played in all these games) is in for Frecklington. The four new players are cup-tied, no Arnold, two youth guys on the bench and a minute's applause for Ollie Palmer's 11 year old cousin who passed away last week with cancer.

 

[GEORGE]

How on earth can anyone pay money to go and watch any team play an under 21 team in a made up "mickey mouse " cup is beyond me.

 

[PaulHaddock]

Crowley definitely has the younger Michael Palin about him doesn’t he?

 

[GodsGift]

Why are these commentators ranting and raving about these kids? They've done fuck all.

Probably beat us on pens though.

Maybe they're secretly related, who nose?

Yep, they're creaming over every basic bit of defending they do. The co-commentator wants Ampadu's babies, it seems.

 

[MrGloverLover]

Our attendance tonight is 1314 with 33 hardy Fleetwood souls.

 

[MrGloverLover]

2-1 up now

 

[GodsGift]

Our attendance is 9,444 (268 Chelsea)

Haters gonna hate.

 

[gijsbert_bos]

9444 at Lincoln

 

[gijsbert_bos]

Wahey! 1-0 Lincoln

Long throw, second ball knocked in and Waterfall heads home.

Wemberleeeeeee

 

[Bobbin']

Nearly 10,000 fans is embarrassing, the majority of them are probably usually sat at home slamming modern football.

Have you looked at our League attendances for the year lately?

This guy...

 

[GodsGift]

Bostwick is an absolute don at centre back.

 

[gijsbert_bos]

It's 8631, by the way...

 

[MrGloverLover]

2-2. Arse.

 

[GodsGift]

1-1. Awful defending.

Not talking about your attendances, I meant in a general sense.

Hopefully Chelsea go on to win and the final will be played out in an almost empty Wembley.

 

[gijsbert_bos]

Ah shit. Where did that come from? Awful defending.

What does that even mean?!
