Blimey, another game this week?  I'm losing track.  Anyway, we'll win.

[Meanwood Villa]

I imagine he'll go the same as Bristol City seeing as it worked. Hopefully Stoke play their reserves too. I hope, should we get through, we take the quarter finals more seriously but a lot of football to be played before then. It might have a negative impact on our title push.

[darren woolley]

I reckon we will beat Stoke 2-0.

Its like were playing the championship season midweek at the moment.

Start same team as we did v Bristol

Is this on telly anywhere? I can't find it but thought I'd check.

[Smirker]

I am looking forward to this and hoping for a win. I feel pretty confident.

FTF.

Not on TV, but available online for a tenner

Did anyone watch the Bristol City game via this service ?

What was the quality like ?

[Scratchins]

I watched and thought it was fine. Not as many cameras as Sky but decent coverage and for once I wasn't constantly telling the commentator to shut up. Worth a tenner. 

[Dave P]

Was the broadcast up to date?  As in was you getting goal alerts before you saw them on screen?

[Scratchins]

Yes, I saw the goals before the club alerted me.

[Legion]

2-0 us.

[Dave P]

Yes, I saw the goals before the club alerted me.

Thanks. I wasn’t keen on spending a tenner on a stream that lagged a few mins.

[eamonn]

Be good to see Chezzie.

[Sexual Ealing]

Yes, the Carabao stream was good quality for the Bristol City game.
