22A Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 OK folks, just an idle thought. If City beat Huddersfield, we'll be in the 4th round. Therefore our away league game at Middlesbrough (the longest journey of the season) will be postponed, becoming a mid week, rather than a Saturday fixture. Well done to those supporters who will still go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably if it does end up midweek we hope it will be a red button job? Mind you, the form Boro are in at the moment it might be a good time to play them.

22A Posted January 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Another idle thought; why is it Peterborough, but Middlesbrough? No O between the B and R. Oddly enough, both teams are then referred to as "Boro". Of course other, more derogatory terms are also used when discussing these two teams.

That may mean that the gaffer 'protects' Diedhiou and Maenpaa, and rests Brownhill, Paterson and Webster. We could see Weimann as the main striker with Matty behind.

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 I doubt Adam Webster will play - we won`t want to risk him opening up his head wound again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 I doubt Kelly will play if he is possibly going to a mega club who would want him in their cup squad. Could be a sign of our intentions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
