Good old days of the plastic pitch and the away fan ban

Very young side

QPR always a good away day, to be fair I'd say most of them are good. We might get a trip down to Plymouth as well hopefully

Exactly, a cynic could speculate that Blackmore did that knowing Jones would give such an answer.

Sounds like you need to go for a walk and take some deep breaths of fresh air Francis, so much hate and anger isn't good for you.

Wasn't that in reply to a direct question from Blackmore asking how Jones had coped with the criticism over the past week, Blackmore even mentioned faith in his question

I thought he came across well. His God comment was part of a direct reply to Adam Blackmore asking how he'd coped with all the criticism he'd faced over the last week, think Blackmore even used the word faith in his question

First impressions, looking forward to him starting Saturday hopefully

Don't let the Skates see this

Got to give Onuachu a go , new big money signing might remember what it's like to score, early days but I'm worried he's going to be another Carillo

Every game is being shown in this round, when looking at the scheduling / channel choice I don't think they are expecting many to want to watch it

I like their outlook on life...checking passports are valid just in case they are needed for a Europa league tour https://forum.thefishy.co.uk/Blah.pl?m-1675812778/s-10/

Don't, we've had so many home cup ties this year and every time it drives me nuts, 6 tickets print at home, that will be £9 booking fee please, thieving bastards- another point for the next fans forum!

Ipswich home was first time I remember it, it used to be we'd just lose block 42 and a bit of block 41 as segregation, now lose the whole lot - one to raise at the next fans forum!

I think so but seems standard cup pricing now, it is round 5 to be fair, worth going as we might actually score a goal in open play and the away end will be one of the liveliest to visit this season so decent atmosphere We have Leicester at home a few days later which is a CAT D game, cheapest adult tickets £15 (£10 if you're a premium member and junior members can get tickets for £1,) makes FA Cup game seem too much.

I don't think Smirking Saint was at Newcastle at home in the league back in November

Huge respect to Grimsby if they managed to bring that on a Wednesday, big game for them getting to 5th round they must be a bit gutted to be playing us. They'll bring their blow up fish with them as well

I actually agree if they are not playing regularly some of them should get minutes with the B team, it actually helps the development of the best youngsters to get to play alongside them , bit different if they're put in the B team as punishment though!

And some of it got personal early on. You are right, some of our fans frothing at the mouth in rage, "Nathan Jones get out of our club" , getting themselves so flustered over a bloke that I'm not convinced really wanted the job and is trying his best (yes we know his best isn't good enough but still) . Can't hate the bloke for that. He's taken lots of stick and tried to stand up for himself and in doing so made things worse. Rasmus convinced him to join us and paid Luton healthy compensation, its not Jones fault that Saints were so desperate to recruit him.

B team play midday on Friday at Staplewood - got a feeling that line up will give us some clues again

I think it will start before that, the B team play Friday midday, that line up will be interesting

You say spineless board, but could be argued they are the opposite , they choose their man and have the backbone to stick with him despite the tsunami of descent from our fans, they came out and fronted the forum yesterday I would say that deserves some respect

Think you'll be fine, can't see them bringing more than 3000 midweek fair trek that. Home to 16th in league Two in 5th round of the cup, can't complain with that draw.

I can't get my head round this , each to their own but I want to win on Saturday

Could do with Grimsby winning this to avoid adding to the circus of Jones against his old club
