But on Thursday 29th January, not happy with that all especially with the game against Fleetwood on the Saturday as I cant see that being changed to compenstate.
Good thing that it's on sky but why on earth a Thursday.... If we beat Doncaster in the FA Cup we'll have to play on the Sunday against either Everton or west ham, Thursday night against Gillingham & Saturday in the league against Fleetwood... Going to really test the squad!
Very disappointed that our promotion bid could be impeded because we have three games in seven days. If at all possible, we should aim to move the Fleetwood game to Sunday 1st Feb. Bris are away that day. Just make sure we don't get a replay v. WHU or Everton
Sky can **** off, I am sick as a fan to being ****ed about so that a game can be televised live to suit the armchair fan.
And this is the risk when you are involved in multiple competitions. I know the cups have a commercial element and for once its nice to see us progress a bit further in the FA Cup and draw a biggish team if we get past Doncaster, but this sort of situation is when you need a big squad, and we just don't have the number of players to play 3 games a week and contend with injuries and fatigue plus keeping the performances up. What we cant afford to do is let it affect our league form, and it might.............
biggest danger is the game against GILLS, we could be tempted to play " a weakened side " although they need to win 2-0 to make a game of it, we need to score 1 at least before they do and then they need to score 3 or 4,
If the JPT goes to extra time and we are playing Saturday then you safely say we will be royally ****ed!
Gillingham will have an important game on Saturday as well - with the tie virtually beyond them, will they rest players as well?
It's all in the mind, if you get told you're tired - you're tired. Anyway - We could play the 'stiffs' against Gillingham. 3 games, about 6 hours in 7 days - with our squad, it's bu**er all. And no mind numbing training. I know what I'd prefer. And I'd like the £thousands that go with it.
