The only drabness will be from the home support as usual. There'll be plenty of atmosphere from them, they're so excited and they'll be swinging their Harry Haddock's with all their might. It's "not their cup final" but apparently we won't know what's hit us with their support. I'm watching on the box with the volume off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincoln fans seemed up for it too but that whole game was horribly flat as well. The club haven’t helped themselves with the pricing for this one though, again. Thinking 15,000 at a push? With over 4,000 of that being Grimsby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefizzy14 Posted 1 March, 2023 Share Posted 1 March, 2023 Hoping for a comfortable victory tonight. Really want to see the likes of Alcaraz, Caleta-Car, Orsic and Aribo start tonight. 3-0 to us Alcaraz, Onuachu and Prowsey to score - COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 1 March, 2023 Share Posted 1 March, 2023 Think this is actually very important for us to set the tone. If we come out lethargic and with odd team selections, even Grimsby might be problematic if they harry and press and we're not up for it or are at all billy big boots about this tie. It may come back to bite us. Instead, I hope Selles has them fired up to go for the kill from the off, or risk the lethargic half empty home support to get to them. Perish the thought that they are right up for it and take the lead. This needs to be a convincing 3-0 win with a concentration on no-nonsense defending (CC please), loads of chances, and most of them taken. All to set us up for the more important Leicester game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Matty 76 Posted 1 March, 2023 Share Posted 1 March, 2023 Well, glad to see Orsic and Alcaraz. Not sure why we're risking Lavia in this game, and I would've preferred Edozie to Djenepo. Shame that the two new guys aren't involved whatsoever to give them a preferable setting to kick start their moves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobysaint Posted 1 March, 2023 Share Posted 1 March, 2023 Decent line up that should be strong enough to beat a league 2 side. I know some folk are convinced by DCC but for me the jury is still out. He’s just a bit grabby for my liking, and you can’t get away with defending like that with VAR nowadays. Would love to see Ballard come on for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermcpete Posted 1 March, 2023 Share Posted 1 March, 2023 Is that still a 4-2-2-2 with AA through the centre? Looks a decent team, maybe a little lightweight in midfield as Alcaraz is very attacking I think, but good to see some intent to win the game!

saintant Posted 1 March, 2023 Share Posted 1 March, 2023 Hope they all know this is going to be a game where they have to roll up their sleeves and battle. We'll have to match or better the effort from the Grimsby players that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintwbu Posted 1 March, 2023 Share Posted 1 March, 2023 Pretty mad that despite being as shit as we are, we’re now able to field an almost complete second string of senior players including most of the bench.

Baird of the land Posted 1 March, 2023 Share Posted 1 March, 2023 No bednarek, woo hoo! intersting to see lavia stays, obviously no concerns about his durability.

Alcaraz will have more chance to get involved further up the pitch with Lavia in there with him. I like that midfield pairing. Djenepo offers more end product than Edozie, so an understandable pick for me. I'm with you on the new guys. They need time to gel, and to get goals.
