Luton can burn in the fires of hell. This is all I wish to add.

Luton is the fires of hell isn't it? Although Northampton runs it close.

I'm putting this here because if I leave it until the next pre match thread it will be too late - I have my season ticket for Rotherham available free to anyone who wants it. Send me PM? Post from our village is shit so if anyone wants it send me address details asap. The ticket is a paper ticket separate from my season ticket Holt End Lower

Still got it? If so can I have it please?

[cdbearsfan]

A nervous 2-1 win.

Weds because we're on the telly.

Well, me, I see this as a free throw, fuck the league cup. promotion is everything! I do agree with the building of momentum, but the cups are a distraction, to the end justifies the means motif that I am championing.

Wednesday , pick who you like, treat it like a friendly, work on set pieces, play the players you haven't played yet, play the new players, play your mom, I don't give a fook.

PROMOTION IS EVERYTHING!!

[cdbearsfan]

Nah.

Every time we've been promoted, we've knocked out at least one top flight club from one or both cups. In 1975 we got promoted and won the League Cup. It's not vet likely but I don't think a club of our stature should ever give up on the idea of winning a trophy.

In any case, a win, any win, is vital to confidence. We need to get in the habit of winning games.

I would make quite a few changes.  We have a decent size squad it would be good to give some of the others a run out.  At this stage of the season I'm not too bothered about a cup run. Yeah it will build confidence, but until we get our feet under the table in the Championship and see how we will be doing then I think a cup run could be a distraction.   At least there's no replay adding to the long list of fixtures.

A narrow 1-2 to us.  Gabby with maybe his last ever Villa goal and Kozak.

[brontebilly]

Would change the whole team to be honest bar Gollini and Elphick. Amavi, Okore, Grealish, Green, RHM, Tshibola, Lyden, Kozak/Traore (if either are even fit?), maybe give Gardner another game in the middle.

Weds because we're on the telly.

And because Villa only played on Sunday ?
