Wanderingred Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Given our terrible form at the moment, plus our tendency to lose to lower league opposition in the cup, I’m baffled as to why anyone would want us to draw them. It’s the ultimate banana skin and we have nothing to prove by playing and beating them.

Even had a spell as a non league side "in the South" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our results haven't been brilliant, though playing 2 sides expecting to challenge and one expecting to challenge and with new manager bounce, not unexpected. I think our form has been decent. Should have beaten Swansea and Sheff U, while a draw at M'boro isn't bad. If we play near where we did in the first two of those games, we should be ok. All these games are against "lower" opposition are potential banana skins, look at Chippenham Saturday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Gashead I know would love to play us in the cup. Why, because they haven't played us in the league for 22 years now. There is absolutely no upside to playing them in the cup for us. They would treat it as their cup final, whereas we would collectively just be paranoid about losing to them, and further fuelling their "We're coming to get you" mantra nonsense. Can you imagine the utter s### that we would have to listen to coming from Barton in the run up to the game. Followed no doubt by a pumped up Rovers team probably taking out every City player going, to prove to their manager that they were "Up for it". It would be Ian Alexander x 11 out there, complete carnage. Not to mention, a nightmare situation outside the ground, before, during; and after the game. When we had to play them in the league, it was of course a necessity to play them twice over the course of a season. I would be very, very careful what we wish for here. 12 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not confident of beating Lincoln tonight, so I certainly wouldn’t be confident of beating the saggies in their cup final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't look forward to playing you, due to how silly things had got off the pitch the last few times we played. Likely to be even worse next time, as the police tactics seem to be to stand back and film, then use this evidence to make arrests at a later date. A shame, as the atmosphere inside the ground is usually cracking, but had enough of the shenanigins outside. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
