Carabao Cup 23/24

[Imp in Branston]

Depends when Man C are playing Newcastle sadly.

So they have picked both Prem games, Newcastle and Man U. Who would have thought Man U would be on for a change. It’s a piss take when they should pick a game for a chance of a cup upset, it’s not as if the Prem sides even need the money.

Sure there were more interesting games on on the Tuesday too than 2 reserve sides playing each other .

Always been the way though, as they know they get more viewers with 2 top level teams playing each other. As shit as that is

Can't be a wum when I don't even know what it means

I rest my case.

 

[denzel ecfc]

So the choices are United v Palace and City v Newcastle.
Not a surprise, but I feel a bit for Lincoln. I would rather watch that than the other two

It’s disappointing as your game ticks all the boxes that should qualify for a TV game and is a game I’d genuinely enjoy seeing. Sky though and credit to Super_horns for calling this don’t care about that obviously. I do get the Newcastle game but Man Utd v Palace is pretty meh.

I've done nothing wrong yet your having who at me and calling me a wum. Think I will just put you on ignore you prick.

Do I need to spell it out for you?

All your posts are just you trying to wind people up making stupid comments, which you yourself, know aren't true. Just drop the dumb act and post normally.

This is only my 31st post on this forum and I haven't even been registered on here for 2 months yet apparently I make loads of stupid comments and are a wind up merchant. I'm new to the site so don't know how you can make that judgement based on just a few messages. I'm going be putting you on ignore now anyway as I will discover who the knobs of this site are and you clearly are one of them.

Are you the real Dwight Yorke?

I thought you were dead.

Yet two messages ago, you claimed you didn't know what a WUM was.

Bore off.

It's called looking it up on Google you prick

Chomp! Now who's the 'knob'?

Far too easy. Can see straight through you and your posting style is so glaringly obvious. Just log out and post on your usual account ey?

Unsurprisingly, our game against West Ham is sold out in home and away areas. Not even sure what our capacity is now, 10,600 now the temporary stand has gone?

I've got my ticket, just gotta try and work out how I'm going to get back from work and into Lincoln given the relative lack of parking around the ground. Will probably have to taxi it in and get a lift back out with who I stand with.

Saw Lincoln have put a tweet out saying “close to 9000” - which seems awfully low? Unless they mean home fans only?

Yeah, home areas only. West Ham have around 1,900 tickets.

Sell out for our game vs Luton tomorrow. Really looking forward to it and I imagine Luton will make plenty of changes, so we’ll have a chance.

That said, I wonder if Caldwell will be tempted to rest a couple of players in favour of being fresher for Northampton at home on Saturday. One of whom may be Tom Carroll as he’s so crucial to us and we may even give Fitzwater at start at the back to give him needed game time.

Fully expect this to be a defeat but you never know in cup competitions. I can live with going out but just hope it’s not another heavy cup defeat!!

 

[valefan16]

Sutton United at home, great chance to progress but its never that simple with Vale!

Expect we will make a lot of changes despite the carrot of the 4th round as we did last round, 16 year old Shorrock will likely come in and Rhy Walters, possibly a debut for Debrah if he is fit enough and expexct Cass to feature.

Limited up front due to injuries but cant see him risking Wilson despite the game time we are getting from him but hopefully Thomas is back.

Ripley

Sang

Debrah
Smith
Yak

Shorrock

Walters
Ojo

Chislett
Devine

Thomas

Something like that.

 

[denzel ecfc]

I hope we don't make too many changes, a good opportunity to win and get to the fourth round, and get a really big name

Me too but AC rotates a lot and due to internationals we have 8 games in 21 days so considering he did for R2 I think he will do the same again and save key players if possible for the Bolton game at the weekend.

Also, 5Live have commentary of Man U v Palace (and Salford on extra), and TalkShite have commentary of, you guessed it, Man U v Palace.

It is utterly pathetic.

 

[valefan16]

Big changes tonight; Arblaster and Yak not even in the squad, Smith, Ojo, Chislett, Wilson and Clarke rested, bench is as strong as we’ve ever had mind!

 

[valefan16]

Well we’ve passed around for almost the full 45 minutes but are playing about 15 passes to many! Have a pop!

 

[Grumpy Grecian]

Port Vale v Exeter in R4 it is then.

 

[valefan16]

Made hard work of that but pleased to get through, managed to rest most players for Bolton bar the last 10 minutes for a couple of them and Funso with a superb winner.

4th round first time since 2006 hopefully a good draw now.

 

[Super_horns]

Well done Exeter (and Port Vale )

Hopefully don’t each other !

 

[leedsvaliant]

You just know we'll get Ipswich away or Exeter away!

 

[valefan16]

Ipswich is the worst draw we could get in my opinion. Exeter or Mansfield are at least winnable.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Great from us tonight, particularly defensively. People may talk about Luton making ten changes, but we made five, and they still had quality players who should have beaten us. We missed a sitter before the goal too.
Deserve a big tie in the next round.

 

[AdamStag]

I’ve wished Exeter and port vale well after promotion (though i was less thrilled with the latter) but let’s do a pact, no offence, i don’t want either of you in the next round, let’s all get someone decent.
