We're gonna get bummed

 

[Luke_1884]

Us too.

4/5 nil.

 

[BCFC David]

Didn't even realise we were playing on the Wednesday rather than Tuesday. Shows how much I care about it I guess

I didn't realise there was a third round!

 

[Dazza]

We will probably make a fair few changes. Expect Brighton will as well. Nothing duller than playing a team from your own division in the cup. At least the tickets for our game are cheap.

 

[LeylandWhite]

Normally like us to go as far as possible in the cups but I'd fuck this off and play the kids, the Wigan game's far more important. Bournemouth will smash is either way.

 

[JJH]

Lose at Craven Cottage on Wednesday, win at Craven Cottage on Saturday. Cheers.

Haha same here!

I dunno though, I'm starting to feel like we might actually have a chance to do well in a cup competition for the first time in my lifetime so I'm a bit more up for it than I expected

We play on Friday night so i'm hoping we make eleven changes for the Bournemouth game, anyone going down there on a Tuesday for the shitty cup is a gimp.

 

[Magic]

Well we should be able to beat Rovers again but we'll probably shake things up again so who knows. I expect Cooper, Denton, Roofe and a few others to get a game. We made 11 changes last round I think so we'll see. Would like to advance though - not far away from the business end if we get through here.

Yeah, think we will get bummed too.

Hopefully we win round 2 of our exchanges with Wolves, although even if we do I'll still wish it was Saturday's that we came out on top in.

Can't even remember why we're playing on the Wednesday, ah well Fulham get the same rest before Saturday so who cares. Would rather win Saturday than tomorrow though.

Yes, you big Danish fucker, nice finish.

 

[TomPNE94]

Gonna win the cup.

Preston 1-0 up at Bournemouth, Leicester take the lead against Chelsea.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Well Preston fully deserve that. And should be 2-0 up.

With our random formation attempting to be 3-4-3, and a side playing the game as if it's a pre season friendly or a 10am training drill, Preston look far better. We're attempting to play 3 players on each flank and over load out wide, except by the time the 10 minutes has elapsed for us to get up there it doesn't work.

Preston on the other hand have a really good centre forward no.9 who's huge, and playing off him they constantly out number us through the middle. By the time our lot amble infield from the flanks Preston are flooding forward. They can hit it back to front early and get in around the forward (or stroll through the middle) and with some nice short and zippy one touch passes off the centre forward they are far more effective.

Both Preston's side and 150 or so travelling fans have grown and grown into the game, and as I say their goal aside they should have had a second when the big lad teed up a midfielder from 6 yards.

We might sort our bizarre shape out second half and look better, but it'll count for little unless we start at least matching Preston's effort. Currently only Mings and Lewis Cook look like they want to be here.

 

[hodge]

Well if anyone wants their team to win you can pay me to bet on the opposition

 

[Mansfield_Ram]

As predicted we are taking a beating

 

[blademan89]

8,488 at Leeds lowest I can recall for them for a long long time

 

[ColB]

Liverpool could easily be 0-8 up. Some of there forward play this season has been just outstanding.

 

[Haillay7]

Would still rather have won on Saturday

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Fuck me this is gonna be a long night.
Again all power to Preston and their centre forward.

 

[Magic]

Another shit game with Blackburn, Chris Wood comes off the bench to score both times. 1-0 this time.

Made 7 changes so I'll take that. Another decent draw and we could be in the quarters!

 

[SF_]

Sounds like we've played really well tonight, would be a shame to lose this now but at least it's shown we've got players who can come into the team and perform. Two good goals from Makeinok, shown he can finish if the service is right.

 

[Madejski]

Tinpot Reading went to Massive Brighton and picked up a win. WOW!

Both Preston's side and 150 or so travelling fans have grown and grown into the game.

293 away fans officially, not awful
