Btay Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 Real banana skin this one. Will be a crushing blow to the already suspect morale if we lose this at home. They have had a decent start to their season, 6th in league 2. I hope this is where we start the likes of O’Brien, Ndiaye & Lindstrøm. I hope even more than it’s a win & good performance which acts as the catalyst for them to start. I feel like Tarks has a niggle, wouldn’t be surprised to see him rested with Keane & O’Brien starting at the back. Dixon to continue at RB & maybe some a start for young Harrison Armstrong due to Gana being 70. I can’t believe the difficulty between selecting Harrison, McNeil or Doucoure. Not in a good way either, I’m not even sure Harrison is the least shit option either.

Zoo 2.0 Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I feel like we've played Doncaster about 472,000 times recently, I'm sure I'd be right in thinking that Beto managed to get his first goal against these last season and we managed to scrape past them while Ancelotti was at the helm. It'll be a difficult game, as no game is easy in football we are shit, but fingers crossed whoever steps onto that field in blue can give a good account of themselves. We shouldn't need to rotate as Dyche made the lads do thirteen Gaffer Days which seems to have won the hearts and minds of some supporters, perhaps we'll take them into extra time just for a laugh to show how fit we are. Dixon keeping his place would be nice, as his name doesn't start with ''Y'' and end in ''oung''. I'm going 0-1 Everton, exciting fucking times - onto the next round.

Prior to last season we last placed them in 1985! That match last season was terrible, I'm not confident we'll be much better this time to be honest. Would go similar to that team Btay has said. Is Garner "back on the grass" yet? I fancy one of Lindstrøm or Ndiaye will score. Hopefully stake a good claim to start at the weekend.

Btay Posted August 27 Author Report Share Posted August 27 Great ball from Myko to McNeil there & we should have scored. I know it’s a lower league side but we look like a football team, largely due to Doucoure not breaking down our own play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
