    Each to their own, people can do as they please

    The FA Cup isn’t what it once was, attendances will be down right across the country.

    Weekend off for me too. Get some graft done on the house, keep the Mrs happy. Would obviously have it on if it was shown on any TV station like. Strange that no one has picked it up.

    £15 for ST holders, £20 for non ST holders

    Surprised at that. Should’ve been £10 adults and £5 kids right across the board, chance to half fill the ground then.

    Doesn’t help that they only released a few blocks in the East and South. At one point the other night there was only about 25 tickets available for purchase, mostly singles

    I think we’ll shift a few between now and KO, I’d guess around 14k in the ground come kick off.

    RLB:
    Enzo - can’t say as it’s not done
    Salis and Riggy available, Ballard too soon
    Ahmed could be available
    Harrison Jones could go out on loan to Gateshead
    The players have rested - we have had 3 sessions with another tomorrow
    We have a full week before Burnley, we want to keep the same dynamic, rather than change everything
    The most important thing is to win the game
    We created many chances but we didn’t score in the last game with Stoke
    Let’s play our football and keep pushing
    The FA cup is very important
    It can be useful for a few players to get minutes but we don’t want to make many changes.

    The absolute worst. A smug arsehole. I'm surprised the club gives him the time of day

    Only a couple of changes, then. Praying for no injuries

    I never watched pressers but read every week about him. What does he do like?

    He asks way too many questions considering barely any of them are valuable, seems to constantly be playing an angle (normally Speakman bad, recruitment bad), has tried multiple times to catch RLB out with almost a trick question, doesn't listen to the answers RLB gives.

    Waste of space.
