Ray White Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Yes I know it's only the League cup but where should I sit if I want a bit of atmosphere? Is anyone going to try out the new singing bit in the Williams or will it be B block Dolman?? Hopefully after our fine performance on Saturday a few hundred more might turn out for the first home game of the season. The only downside is if the weather forecast is correct for Tuesday evening its going to piss it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperFly2002 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 WILL THE GAME BE ON? Of course the game will be on - you don't spend 1.2 million pounds on a state of the art "Desso Grassmater" pitch for the game to be in the balance . . . . .do you ????

reddogkev Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Hopefully it'll be a cracking little cup game, but I'd be surprised to hear much of an atmosphere tomorrow. Will probably feel more like a reserve match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like it when managers say this it gives the players a psychological message to play at less than a 100% knowing that the boss is n't that bothered. It's also insulting to the fans who pay to watch. Unless it's a cunning ruse ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's a cunning ruse ! to be fair we had a pretty strong bench on saturday so if he makes 6 changes its still a strong side, We've got osborne el abd Bryan Pack Reid (who didn't even make the squad) Burns Jet all to come in, I expect Burns and wagstaff to get a game and maybe even morrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a squad game though, even resting some of the players from the weekend doesn't mean the team will be weakened significantly. We have plenty of talent looking for a longer run out - such as Wagstaff, Bryan, Reid, and Jet for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 The point i wanted to make was ,why say that it's less important ? He could have said "we are n't expected to win the cup but i would like the opportunity to advance and perhaps get a big club down at the Gate. It is also an excellent way for squad players to force their way into the reckoning for a first team place" It's only packaging but it subtlely changes the value of these matches. Or He could say the cup is an unnecessary distraction from the main objective which is to get promoted but that is also not very motivating !

I'm not offended by it but never encouraged to hear manager's talk down the importance of games - we may not win it but we could get to a quarter or draw a big side and get a pay day...

I'm not offended by it but never encouraged to hear manager's talk down the importance of games - we may not win it but we could get to a quarter or draw a big side and get a pay day... All the players who were on the bench with the possible exception of Richards could do with game time, as could Osbourne and Reid. I would prefer that Wade was wrapped in cotton wool because I think he may possibly be THE player for us this season. Likewise Wilbraham. SC has said that Fielding will play and a 4-4-2 of Fielding Ayling El Abd. Osbourne. Cunningham Wagstaff Pack. Reid. Bryan JET. Burns Is not a bad team.

Yep, I hope we don't put that team out for the JPT - we might get through. I do doubt we'll see as many as 8 changes tomorrow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
