    If we have penalties after extra time, if that happens, who will take the Watford kicks?

    Chris, Hodson and The Prince are both on international duty but Thommo isn't so he might be considered for RB.

    If he's on the pitch at the end of ET, I'm guessing Yeates will as I think he used to take the pens for Colchester.

    Good post Ak.

    I believe SD will make 4 or 5 changes. Iwelumo will not play as I feel he is too preciuos, James may be tried etc.

    The game will be quite even IMO and we need to score first. I want a good 2-0.

    Our board must be quite something for these Bristolians to come on here and have a tussle!

    I still say a nice smooth win will do me.

    I think the first rounds up to the QT finals should go straight to pens. Just think, if Rovers win after ET and Pens this round then have 4/5 league games after that and before the next round, then they have an ET win, that going to be exhausting on the players, especially if they are in 2/3 cup comps and the league. I know footballers are fit guys, but thats hard even on them! Then to cap it off, they get the big guns entering a round or 2 later!!

    Aw, the poor diddums - have to play two games of football a week <laugh>

    Personally, I think they should do away with ET and pens - if it's a draw after 90 minutes, toss a coin or award the result to the team starting with Wa :biggrin:

    But it ends up that teams play sat,tues,sat,tues,sat for a few weeks, and the smaller clubs cant handle that. Do you think that the teams who complained about not being able to fill a 7 man bench would be able to field a fully fit and strong squad for each of those games? If not then it becomes unfair and give the other team a leg up instantly.

    Blue Brizzle supporters - where is the best place to park and what is the best away supporters pub?

    Thanks in advance for a few sensible responses...

    Personally, (and I'm not basing this on anything other than a guess) I expect to see Josh Walker in midfield with Eustace possibly getting a rest ahead of Saturday, Tom James to either start or be on the bench with Hodson starting, but I'm a little torn as I would like to see a steady back four again (five including Loach) so that they get more playing time and eradicate the late goals. Wouldn't be surprised to see Mingoia and Massey get a run out and Deeney from the start. Then again what do I know? Actually, don't care who we put out, would just like to see us win.
