    Another great thread @RTB , after today's press conference I'm going with the following team

    Burge
    Mclaughlin. O'Nien. Flanagan. McFadzean
    Power
    Gooch. Scowen
    Jones. Wyke. McGeady

    Subs Matthews, Younger, Neil, Stewart, Maguire, Diamond, Leadbitter

    I've put Leadbitter on the bench but only play him if really necessary. With the confidence sky high and the way LJ has us playing, I still think we should have enough to win. Another 2 goal difference 2-0 or 3-1

    Hmmm, then Diamond in for Jones and Kimpioka on the bench. If anyone needs a fitness test then because of the games coming thick and fast, I think it would be better to make sure they're 100% ready than risk them

    Like you said, great gesture but it's all came about because idiots on the internet trolled his reaction to his club scoring and winning a game! What is the world coming to that you feel the need to take the piss out of a young lad celebrating?

    I suggest a hit squad of old school lads with time on their hands to track these people down, befriend them and remind them to be polite ...

    ... who's with me :bandit:

    If we dont win on Sunday we're well and truly jinxed. Shouldn't be allowed to enter anymore English Cup tournaments.

    Lethargic is LJ playing mind games with Tranmere 're the Jones thing.
    Keep them guessing up til KO, let's be honest just lately us fans have been scratching our heads as to just how the team were going to line up.
    Fingers crossed there is no truth in the Jones rumour but as has been said with all due respect to Tranmere we should have enough to win on the day.
    Wasn't it 5-0 under clueless PP last season so what is there to fear.

    Yep, count me in. Wonder if they're all big and hard when someone's actually stood in front of them

    I don't understand why any social media accounts aren't just blocked permanently for things like this, it's not that hard to do.

    Great gesture though, hopefully we can all celebrate the same way young George did on Sunday.

    So, if we are to believe the reports, we will likely be missing:

    Wright, Hume, Jones through injury
    Winchester, Sanderson & Vokins through cup-tied-ness

    Any word on the Ross "Declan John" Stewart?

    Assume it'll be McLaughlin-Flanagan-O'Nien-McFadzean across the back?

    Leadbitter and Power in the middle

    Gooch replacing Jones in the front 4

    We should have more than enough to win this

    Wouldn't it be great to knock on someone's door, push them back into their hovel, show them their posts and ask them what they have to say.

    Sadly there isn't an emoji for someone's arse going ...

    ... so you'll just have to imagine it <laugh>
