2024-25 B(D)SM Trophy

[Crewelad87]

Wrexham away for us, fully expect us to make changes and kind of hope we go out. I'd guess Wrexham will take it fairly seriously, I can see them being quite big on a trip to Wembley.

I'd go

You're picking more first team players than I would.. I wouldn't have Zac involved and whichever of JKL and Connolly is going to play at the weekend shouldn't play either.

This lot away would usually be an important match for us, but we can play the under-16s tonight for all I care.

 

[クレイグ]

Stockport for us. Can't remember the last time we beat 'em. Expecting a loss.

 

[Jimmy Anderson]

I think vale have made 11 changes tonight

 

[saddler78]

8 changes tonight for us pretty much a reserve team against Reading.

 

[valefan16]

I think vale have made 11 changes tonight

They have great to see Mitch Clark start since his neck break in pre season, another boost to us and Byers gets minutes.

Fairly competitive that line up I would say.

Zac, JKL and Connolly all start. Because if 2 of those 3 don't start, who does play at CB given you definitely aren't risking Demetriou and Billington is covering RWB for Cooney? Unfortunately, outside of starting a scholar like Dancey(which you also don't want to do given he's in FA Youth Cup action on Friday), you're going to have to start a first teamer or two in there.

We've got a 25 man squad of under-18s, play the ones who aren't going to play on Friday. If you don't want to risk any of the under-18s, play the under-16s.

We've made 11 changes. That said it's a strong team with the only unknown quantity being our GK.

 

[saddler78]

Absolutely battering these just can't score that should change if he brings Lowe or Matt on DJ looks very rusty missed 3 sitters.

 

[valefan16]

Not a great watch, Doncaster hit the post twice, one from range, Paton missed a sitter for us but we’ve been sloppy. Diamond Edward’s is miles from ready don’t think he’s made one pass yet.

Id imagine this game will be won when Doncaster bring sharp and molyneux off the bench

Probably as we have left most of the big players at home. Edward’s looks like he’s won a competition.

 

[JJ1990]

11 changes v 8 changes at the Racecourse. Being played at a training pace, but we've probably shaded the chances.

 

[クレイグ]

Beat Stockport 3-2.

 

[valefan16]

Decent late win that. Harper with a good finish, Hackford was wasteful in good positions twice just before and Rico had a great chance to add gloss but considering they threw in some of their better players at the end it we seemed more comfortable as it went on.

Decent minutes for Clark, Byers and Harper. All in all a decent nights work.

 

[OneDecentLester]

Beat Wigan 3-2. Completely dominated the game, both of Wigan’s goals were flukes really

 

[kieran_vale]

1-0 win through Harper in stoppage time. Not exactly a scintillating performance from either team but both made a lot of changes so guess to be expected. I’m sure Donny fans will be over it already.

Got what we needed from tonight for Bromley at the weekend.

 

[LS Bantam]

Played a strong team plus Colin Doyle in net who retired about ten years ago but played really well tbf, Stockport keeper kept the score down as well as us fluffing about three one on ones.

 

[SaddlerJonny]

We contrived to only draw 1-1 with Reading despite one of the most onesided games you'll ever see. Downright hilarious (only now afterwards that we won on pens) the amount of clear chances we missed. Should have scored about 6 or 7. We had 33 shots!

 

[We Are Sailing]

Beat Wigan 3-2. Completely dominated the game, both of Wigan’s goals were flukes really

Ryan Boot isn't a fluke. He's inevitable.

 

[JJ1990]

Lost 1-0, but had by far the better chances up until the point they brought on Mullin, Palmer and Lee. Meanwhile we ended the game with no recognised striker on the pitch and chose to leave Demetriou, Lankester, Bogle, Long and Tracey at home. Shows how much of a shit Lee Bell was giving this game.

 

[Jimmy Anderson]

Having surprisingly progressed we will probably get out normal away draw against either Bolton or Rotherham who seems to knock us out of this every season.

 

[gary]

Thank god Colchester have knocked us out of the tinpot Mickey mouse cup !!!!!!

 

[saddler78]

Walsall 33 shots, 9 on target, 14 off target, 10 blocked, 11 corners. Reading 8 shots, 3 on target, 3 blocked, 5 corners. This shows the dominancebut needed to put the chances away. Still all the penalties we took we scored, well done lads and through to the next round.

good to hear. Did you go?

Justice for Boot (it was Araujos fault)

 

[DearneValleyRover]

I’m happy we are out but it’s still concerning that we are very wasteful at home. Yeboah is going back to Bristol in January and we’ve already put a bid in for another forward, still think we are short of a defensive and creative midfielder plus another winger.

 

[Si Robin]

Good win against Cambridge last night - poor first half from both teams and we were down because of a shocking penalty (shocking in that I couldn't believe our lad made the challenge - it was the clearest pen I've ever seen).

Second half we were much the better team and once we equalised there was only one winner. We saw it out pretty comfortably as well - apart from when Loft nearly scored an absolute belter, floating a volley from 25 yards out, hitting the bar and it bouncing down. I'm not convinced it didn't cross the line to be honest, but we probably deserved that bit of luck.
