Like it, a nice blend of strength and rotation. An opportunity for Sanson to shine. 8)

Safe to say that team should beat a League Two side. I mean, it really should.

Really.

Seriously.

Right?

Strong team, I think I'd have liked a few more youngsters in the 20, maybe not starting but 2 or 3 up with half an hour on the clock would be a good chance to give a few debuts.

Like the look of that, can see a few having a field day maybe, possibly, hopefully.

The type of football that Stevenage play, if they have carried on from when I saw them early season, is to sling every ball into the box and chase down and unsettle defenders, picking up loose balls or get on slip up from defenders. If this is the case let’s hope those defenders are on top of their game.

El Maestro has spoken
Fantastic line up. Makes sense with Leeds on Friday.

Olsen is our cup goalie. Trusted.
And enough there to put 4 to 5 goals in.
Hope everyone gets behind Bailey though worry he may get injured as there are a few rough necks in their team.
He's definitely got a chance to score though!

I wonder who we get next round!?

I reckon this Gnonto fella will end up at ManU, he's certainly perfected their key tactic of being close to death everytime someone goes near him.


Oops, wrong thread.
