Carabao Cup Round 4 v Stoke (H)

[brian green]

Bit late to the party SE.  William Hague's father was a rag and bone man with a handcart.  Perfect pedigree for a Nose.

[Meanwood Villa]

André Moreira. Remember him?

He was dreadful, but saved a penalty against Colchester

Yeovil wasn't it?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Haha, may well have been.

André Moreira. Remember him?

He was dreadful, but saved a penalty against Colchester

He's now letting in goals back at Belenenses.

Then it's Bristol City or Northampton Town if we get through to round three.

So do we play the kids, a full strength first team or a mixture?

Normally I'd stick the kids in but as it's our first proper game, perhaps not.

I'd like to see a mix of our regular first-teamers, fringe players and a couple of the better U23s.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Yeah same for me Leeg

[Toronto Villa]

Massive rivalry game for Bristol City if we meet...

[Legion]

They are hardly our rivals.

Would be nice but I expect Smith will play it safe and go for a strong team with maybe Ramsey and Vassilev on the bench.

[Toronto Villa]

They are hardly our rivals.

For them for some odd reason. We certainly don’t give a fuck about them.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Suppose our academy is playing in the Football League Trophy on Tuesday, so get to see how our youngsters shape up (I still think that it's farcical that Premier Youth teams are allowed in it).

Bristol city or Northampton vs Villa or Burton

 Northampton v Villa in round 3 would be a repeat of 50 years ago. Maybe we can go one better in the competition than we did that season.
