2.30 on Sky after their championship game this saturday

Anything but Plymouth for us please

 

[K-Win]

We’ll need to play better on Saturday to beat them again.

Not necessarily. We're creating absolutely nothing up front these days. 1 goal should do it on Saturday.

We are so poor. I think we need more than a new manager to beat Bolton Saturday. We'll nedd a miracle.

Thats our season over unless we end up in a relegation fight.

 

[stevowanderer]

How many changes do you think you will make for Saturday? We’ll make at least 5/6. We rotated quite heavily tonight … I expect we will play better

 

[LeonTheGreen]

Wonder how many we’ll take to Wembley if we get there. We took 36k I think for the League Two play off final. Maybe 25k?

 

[Si Robin]

I can't believe I saw a Cheltenham team score 3 goals in one game - truly remarkable stuff. Even if we did make hard work of it by going a goal down.

Don't care who we get in the semi, as long as we're at home. I fancy us against anyone at Whaddon Road. Away and we may as well throw in the white flag.

[ProfessorGreen]

Please not Bolton or Accrington away, we don't need the extra travelling.

To be fair May should have had 3 within 20 mins v us

 

[Luke Imp]

A concerning performance despite the 2-2 score line last night apparently. Not much wiggle room for making changes either due to injuries so the team kinda picked itself.

 

[stevowanderer]

If you get a home tie you basically guaranteed a spot a Wembley based on this season’s form

 

[LancashireTrotters]

I’d take Plymouth at home in the semi’s.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

The key thing was to finally after all these years to get a home draw in a cup game, which we have, so happy with that.

Guaranteed place at Wembley for you then

[Boletus Edulis]

if we take that attitude we are guaranteed not to. i know Schuey wants to get to Wembley, so I suspect the team will prepare thoroughly. What does not help either side is that we would have played three games in about two months, so it will be hard to spring surprises. I’m optimistic, we have at least a one in two chance, but no chickens are being counted.

 

[Muzzle]

Accrington away for us then

 

[CTFCfan99]

The only draw I definitely didn't want was Plymouth away. Nothing against Plymouth as a club but I fucking hate them because they always always always beat us

 

[Si Robin]

Already decided I'm making the trip down there. Only been to Home Park once, 21 years ago. Hopefully we perform better than we did that day!

I see you are spending your winnings wisely Simon.

 

[CTFCfan99]

Tonight's the night then. Looks like there'll only be 250-300 CTFC fans there which is a shame, but a combination of general disinterest in the competition, shite league form, and a long trip on a Tuesday to face a team that we always lose to means it was inevitable really.

Still, anything could happen and a trip to Wembley would be nice. Big game for Plymouth on Saturday - may as well rest your best players, the league is far more important

 

[CTFCfan99]

Not quite sure how it's level at half time but there we are. Nice to see the officials doing their jobs properly for once

 

[Super_horns]

Was going to say now ahead but Plymouth just scored.

[ProfessorGreen]

Jesus fucking Christ they’ve done a pitch invasion after beating Cheltenham on penalties to get to the pizza trophy final.

We deserve to lose the final already.

 

[CTFCfan99]

Some shocking penalties there

Some shocking penalties there

I haven’t seen yours, but I think the worst penalties I’ve ever seen in professional football were in a Pizza Cup game, us away to Gills, I think at least half of them were skied or just so weak as to be pathetic - for both sides.

We at least hit the target, but a couple of them were the sort of short/weird runup ones where they end up hitting it tamely at the keeper. Infuriating. Plus Argyle missed the target with their 2 misses and very nearly with another

 

[Super_horns]

Well done to Plymouth - sure a few thousands will be coming up from Devon.

 

[LeonTheGreen]

Train all sorted, gonna be carnage, reckon we could sell out our allocation with the buzz around the city at the moment.
