cityexile Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Obviously lots of talk about next Saturday, and virtually none on our next game, which tells its own story. They are pottering along in Div 2, but with two of that leagues higher scorers in Tubbs and a certain Akinfenwa, the latter who could be nicknamed the first! Cannot help feeling two extended cup runs is one to many, and pretty sure we will see a lot of changes again from the 'first 11', would also like to see Elliott get a rest. Balancing the risks that come from any extra game against giving some of the squad some very valuable game time. Easy to say we should win, but they won in the last round against MK (although appreciate there was some extra spice there!). Above all else hope we pick up no injuries, suspensions. Going 3-1 us, 4,000 attendance, but if its another Oxford, not the end of the world. Much rather win on Saturday, others may disagree, and in truth not a case of one or the other. Views?

Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I believe in the Football League trophy there is a rule which says that so many players from recent league games must play. I fully expect to see those who were rested for the FA Cup game to come back in with the other league regulars given the night off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong, but think the rule is so many changes from the last match, which in our case was the FAC. That gives us a lot of flexability.

Previous competitive game, ie the FA Cup match. We can drop more regulars if we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Think the team will be close to this Fielding Waggy EL_Abd Flint Williams Bryan Pack Smith JET Wilbs Burns Williams, Bryan, Smith & Wilbs back in after sitting out the weekend. Flint as the centre of the back 3 prob doesn't do as much running as Williams or Ayling so will probably play again and leave Waggy in to give Little more time to recover from his strain.

Coxy27 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Remember that we have to play 6 of the starting line-up that play on Tuesday against Swindon also. It works both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Wimbledon have a derby against Dagenham on Saturday so I expect they'll be resting a couple of players too. We should have enough to beat them. They're an average L2 team and we have enough strength in depth to beat them. As long as SC takes the game seriously we will win.

Drew Peacock Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Do the FFP rules, or whatever it is we play under, apply for each season discretely? If so, the turnover from reaching the JPT final is just a get out of jail card for a team that has overspent isn't it? A well run club will be within it's targeted turnover ratio which won't include the JPT final and so although the cash would be welcome, it doesn't really make a lot of difference does it?

SUMMAT OUTTA NOWT Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Afraid any way you slice it. there is more attraction in reading Robbie Savages new book on the best Football grounds for Chips than the 94 mile round trip on Tuesday. Get my self in Training for Saturday I think. Ohh I don,t finish work til half eight as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, a JPT Final would be in our interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat Fastard Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Over 24 hours of rain are predicted by the BBC before kick off. Should provide a great test for the new pitch and the new drainage system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running Man Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 With a small squad like ours there are only so many changes you can make. SC said that Little was injured on Saturday so might be an option for Tuesday, there are only so many ways you can shuffle the pack without bringing in U-21's.

GrahamC Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Cotterill seemed to say afterwards that Osborne wasn't really fit enough to play on Saturday, which makes you wonder why Wynter wasn't a sub instead... Wilbraham aside and Cunningham playing again I think "Gillies" side will be very close, with either Agard or Freeman having to start in order to give our top scorer a proper rest.

miketh2nd Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Id Of liked to have gone to this game but funnily enough I chose the Swindon game instead. I want us to win the game but hopefully not too many 1st teamers playing as pointless to risk them getting injured . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 id have liked to get to this game, but I'm in a lecture until 8 pm, would get to the ground until 9.30 at the earliest and if i skipped my lecture to go i wouldn't get home until 6 am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
