League Cup 1st round all in one match thread.

Double post

I'd forgotten we were even playing!

Don't think I'll be bothering tonight

 

[GTFCfish]

Just one look accross the tunnel at the likes of Gav Gunning, Lloyd James and Dayle Grubb is enough to strike FEAR into most teams.

To be fair to Gunning he did elbow Danny Wright in the face whilst here so just for that, he should be given the freedom of Grimsby.

 

[mowgli]

We've got Wycombe away. Not going, contemplated it if only to pay homage to one of our best strikers ever, Adebayo Akinfenwa

Would have been a waste of your time mate he'll be rested tonight.

 

[Indian Dan]

We’ll trudge along to the CG hoping not to see any more comedy capers defending - but when you’ve got Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton in the back 4 I ain’t too hopeful.

Could do with a bit of a confidence booster ahead of Tranmere on Saturday. Not even looking forward to howling at Chuckles in the FGR dugout

 

[Moomin]

Looks like Ipswich won’t make wholesale changes against us tonight. Hurst has said they may make 2 or 3 such as Gwion Edwards so it will be a tough game for us.

We will be missing Nicky Law who picked up a groin strain on Saturday, other than that I can see us resting Lee Holmes and give Lee Martin his first start plus wouldn’t be surprised if we rested Forte and played Abrahams. Taylor said we will attack them but just hope we don’t get our arses handed to us.

4-2 Ipswich

 

[Hamez]

We're charging £20 at home to Accrington. Christ knows who signed that off, mentalists.

I wouldn't be suprised to see a sub 1,500 crowd.

 

[Conker]

What on earth?

Crazy, both Mansfield and Accrington to blame.

Every other game tonight ranges from £10 to £15 quid, £20 for this is ridiculous.

Attendances for these sort of games are always low but it’s going to be extra sparse at the One Call tonight.

 

[YorkshireRed20]

Macclesfield play Bradford. Bar 20-odd seconds on the EFL highlights show I don't know how they've fared bar their results. Bradford good on day one, poor on day two. Shock potential I think.

Pleasantly surprised at £8 a ticket this evening. Most un-Power like.

£19 in advance or £21 on the gate at BP tonight. Kids go free admittedly, but that's no good if you don't have a kid to take.

Likewise, glad we didn't draw a club who just want to charge the fans as much as they can, rather than one who set ticket prices at a level that will probably ensure a far bigger crowd. It will be interesting to compare attendances across the games this evening, hopefully those who cut prices will be repaid for their generosity.

Kidnap one

Haha, no chance of me travelling up for a Carabao Cup 1st Round match a few days before coming up for the derby mate! I'll remember that tip for next time though, cheers.

 

[Conker]

£10 for kids, £20 for young adults so we win in the ‘shit ticketing’ competition.

 

[T.A]

Forest -1 (11/10)
Forest -2 (11/4)

Pick one and lump everything you own on it.

£21 for Cheltenham v Colchester. We charged £15 last year at home to Villa.

Fluke? That was no fluke pal, the reason your lot forgot which way they were shooting was because they shit themselves about coming up against a team of such awesomeness. It's a bit like Man U during the Fergie years, teams are already mentally beaten by us before they get on the pitch. Just one look accross the tunnel at the likes of Gav Gunning, Lloyd James and Dayle Grubb is enough to strike FEAR into most teams.

Still truly amazed we managed to get a payment from Lloyd James from you guys. It makes me a bit relieved that you think he'll strike fear in any team. If he's one of your better players, then nobody in this league has anything to be worried about.

 

[Si Robin]

£10 for kids, £20 for young adults so we win in the ‘shit ticketing’ competition.

Regular league prices (£21 adult, £13 concession) for us - apart from the fact that kids have to pay (Junior Robins are £5 for the season but this doesn't include cup games) £7 per ticket.

 

[valefan16]

Tonight I would make big changes, Saturday is more important but with Pope potentially out for a time I wouldn’t risk Miller or Dodds who are potential goal scorers in his absence. In fact I’d go to Tyrone Barnett, dismissed from squad and training with the reserves I’d be saying if you want an EFL future go and prove yourself tonignt! Low risk.

Expect Kay to come in after his ban and probably Legge especially if they likely start with Rhead.

Could see Hornby getting a go in goal too.

 

[Indian Dan]

Strange line up for us this evening. Just how poor does Taylor have to be to get dropped

I thought Taylor was doing brilliantly for you

 

[Guernica]

Just the 7 changes for us tonight!

 

[Conker]

Only four changes, Flitcroft wanted to make more I imagine but due to the striker situation and two CBs being injured that was made difficult.

Big news is Danny Rose is on the bench after his 'chat' with the club yesterday, he is nowhere near match fit though.

 

[valefan16]

Aspin has dropped our right back to play a centre half at right back who is making his third appearance in English football! Pope not risked, Joyce and Gibbo drop out.

 

[Andy Proctor]

Rawlinson was shite at right back on saturday when gibbons went off he wouldnt get forward and he kept slicing his passes out of play.

 

[Boz]

Lot of chopping and changing for Rovers too. Obviously not taking this competition too seriously.

 

[EricSabin]

9 changes for us, still got a strong team out

 

[Casey]

Palmer given the night off. Grego-Cox to start up front. Camara on one side Allarakhia on t'other. Milson in for Bulman and Mark Randall starts in place if Payne....oh and flapper Mersin in goal. Six changes but two have been used as subs in our first two games.

I will be proper gobsmacked if we get anything out of this. Gas are a better side than us, playing at home and have the cup hoodoo over us.

We're playing our current/early season first team, only change being Vernam in for Rose which is surprising a) I don't believe his red card in the league suspends him for this game and b) they don't really play the same position. Any Town fans there? Are we playing a diamond or a 4-3-3 or something?
