Watched the live 2nd round match Ebbsfleet v Fleetwood, they were nothing special in beating a team 3 divisions lower. Not sure how many 1st team players may have been rested that day but we should be a cut above them. Hopefully a strong team with the right attitude but it's QPR so we know what usually happens...
I hope Neil starts a strong team, and then adds in youngsters. Though I expect Kakay, Dozzell and Shodipo to start...as they are very close to the first team and need game time
If the weather in Lancashire is anything like it is where I am (and it’s usually worse up there) this is going to be a thoroughly miserable afternoon, unless we win big. Respect to all Rs making the trip.
We've played eorse than them at home and lost in the past ! Vauxhall Motors still gives me nightmares
Fleetwood were in a lower league than Vauxhall back then, a rich owner and some shrewd management has brought them up about 5 promotions since then. They even survived Joey Barton...
Also, surely against lower league opposition it is a chance to give Armstrong a chance, and Dykes a break...he's looked knackered in recent games.
Two goalkeepers on the bench. Not that interesting. Could be Hamelainen’s last ever game if we’re lucky.
That’s an odd line up. Neither ‘we are plying our strongest possible team to win this’ nor ‘ we’re giving lots of bit part players a chance’.
Couldn't agree more. Let's be honest, we are never going to win the bloody fa cup. Play Armstrong, Richards even Masterson
