Aden Baldwin, our ex player, involved heavily in them too. To be fair to him though, he’s been really good for Notts - just not last night!!

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) Apologies if already posted but further suggestions/likelihood that 3rd and 4th Round replays will be scrapped. Carabao Cup semi final may also be one leg. Edited December 2, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our best memories in recent times, let alone cor clubs further down the pyramid and most clubs will have one was a 2 leg tie v Man City in 2018. We lost but acquitted ourselves very well. The 8k up there, the comeback from 2 down at AG, the fact it took them a late late goal up there to beat us. Now multiply that by several for Idk Exeter, Rochdale, AFC Wimbledon whoever. Just the top clubs taking more, more, more really. FA Cup, while not what it was a replay vs a top side away from home can be transformative to a struggling club in the bottom 2 divisions let alone lower down. Or showcase them to a wider audience. Or indeed hold out under the fish away, replay at home lashing with rain, dodgy pitch, freezing night and it's game on to an extent. Well climate and far better pitches even lower down have reduced that a bit but it can happen still.

cellist Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 Hate hearing the likes of Klopp (and Wenger particularly in the past if I recall) whinging about fixture congestion every time there is a cup replay, and yet the new champions league format will add more fixtures to the calendar. Cup replays will surely pay the price sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a case where some lad gets bought by a premier league club from a lower one in January, he tears it up, and his new club goes on to get to the Cup Final. He`ll have played ten minutes for his old club in Round Two and will be stopped from playing in the final because of it. It doesn’t matter, there are rules, the clubs know what they are, if they break them they have to accept the consequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t outdated though. You could potentially have 11 players in a team knocked out of the 2nd round today, then they all play in the third round for the team that beat them!.

Maybe he has stopped following the process. Or the grass was an eighth of a millimetre too long which scuppered his detailed plan. Fine margins and all that, innit.

I feel LJ jumps into the next job too quickly. I always thought Gary J did the same (Peterborough and Northampton after us) so perhaps it runs in the family. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
