    So...anyone bothering with it?

    My lad is driving down with a few mates, but I have decided to sit this one as I am sticking pins in my eyes...

    In all seriousness though, I will put it on the firestick if it is being shown. Not expecting anything except a loss, and if we get any more defensive injuries then god help us for Saturdays game :x3::dizzy:

    It's on sky sports + thing again, might see if I can steal the remote off the missus for a bit until Lee Gregory slots one past Doyle.

    Tbh i have zero interest in the mickey mouse trophy comp, so not too fussed about the result but an injury free night is a win.

    Sorry, but I reckon we'll lose by at least two because we don't score enough and we have a threadbare defence.

    They should be wrapping up Diabete and Shepherd in cotton wool and leaving them on the sidelines tonight.

    Play a couple of the kids at the back.

    Non-League referee tonight, James Westgate. This will be the first time he's refereed a match between two EFL sides.

    That would be setting the kids up to fail as they would get battered and we would likley end up losing by 5 or 6 which doesn't help anyone. Shepherd especially needs games to learn quickly after being taught a lesson by Jamille Matt on Saturday.

    Flip that around and I would say valuable experience for a youngster and an opportunity to impress.

    Lose if you do, lose if you don't with the CBs tonight. On one hand, Diabate didn't have a full pre-season and still needs some game time and Shepherd has barely played so far. So on one hand those two need to start trying to build some form and partnership for the next few weeks, and the trophy games are always of lesser intensity so it's not a bad idea.

    But yes, there's always the risk of another knock. If you have kids play, we'll likely lose but also it's less chance for Diabate and Shep to get an understanding. Reckon GA sees 90 in their legs as a more important gamble right now.

    Not expecting much. Not sure what to expect to be honest.

    Say what you want, having Vadaine find some form would be HUGE.

    Not kidding.
