A quick return after another home defeat.
Neither club have made the start they would have expected.
It will be interesting to see the team we field.
Will Josh start, or will we try another formation up top.
Personally I would play our strongest team, giving them more game time, and getting more comfortable with Mannings system.

Got tickets for this one today, £10 for adults £2.50 kids .

I'm expecting a loss but you never know in the cup .

If it goes to pens it's going to be the 23:05 train home & a late night .

Sounds like a reasonable plan but, not with Josh. I wouldn't let him anywhere near the pitch tomorrow. I would let Kvistgaardan have this game all to himself and see how well he plays with the others.
Mostly agree with this, though I could see Kvistgaarden starting and Josh coming on for the final 20-25 minutes if it's close.

I wouldn't even have him on the bench because his injury record is not the best. He could probably do with a day off anyway.
 
Happy with the team selection tonight, good to see starts for McConville, Gibbs, Schwartau, Jurasek and Kvistgaarden. Would like to see Makama and Mindle-Smith come off the bench as well.

Glad to see Sargent rested - he has just been selected for USMNT which goes to show the league he is playing in isn’t an issue

Felt like that was coming. For once we are pressing better than expected, but don’t capitalise on our opportunities and always look incredibly fragile at the back.

And now we will press in 1s and 2s, making it easy to pass around us, the game will stretch. I fear a hammering.
 
Gibbs, McConville, Chrisene, Schwartau and Jurasek have done well.

Kvistgaarden looks a little short on match fitness still, possibly lead to his error and the goal.

Schlupp looks to be getting better
 
Schlupp has more pace than I expected, and has played well at WB. Some glimpses of Kvistgaarden's skills but the goal was unfortunate. Saints have made fewer changes and it shows in their interplay. Good to see so many players getting a start and reAl game time. Like to see some reaction now to fight back.
