    Smith will never score enough to put a league side to the sword. Perhaps Young coming in would change that but with Kavanagh and Odour either side of him there's be very little point in crossing the ball and we'd perhaps have to play through sides, playing deep, on a terrible, uneven pitch.

    Not for me.

    Cook down the middle with Young/Kavanagh/Odour/Chapman either side is plenty good enough for this division.

    If Cook doesn't play or is subbed then Young is probably the only other option down the middle.

    There are a few who if we had won 1 - 0 would have bellyached that it should have been 4/5, of course we should have won the game with regards our performance unfortunately sometimes you don't always get what you want even though as we all saw Wednesday night we played Wycombe off the park for the full 90+ minutes, which in itself was excellent given the criticism the pitch got from the so called experts on here and Sky, similar to MK Dons the other week the pitch didn't effect their passing.
    Just read Smallwoods comments in the T&A which I find a little ironic as he was in some good positions on Wednesday night to do exactly what he's criticizing, more goals coming from other areas in the team, we've seen Smallwood score from similar positions he found himself in but what does he do tries to make that final quality pass, I'll repeat have a bloody go Ritchie you'll never be criticised for having a shot.

    Whisper it quietly but he's also scored more than both Mullin and McGoldrick.

    Yeah, ok, so McGoldrick is there to create too. Maybe we shouldn't mention that he's on the same amount of assists as Cook then.

    The real story is that Cook has regressed from a stellar season that he was never likely to repeat to one that is still more than decent but because he's likely to 'only' get to 20 this season somehow he needs dropping?

    This forum really is bizarre at times.

    Sparks could spin it as he wants, I think the vast majority of fans would see through it! His credibility as a CEO is shot to pieces and this trophy ain't going to change the massive problems at the club.
    I agree with Olly, the fans should nonetheless support the team if they can as we have got this far and lets hope the boys can do it - but it won't change my views on the lousy leadership at our club

    This is going to be some occasion.

    To think that, in 121 years of existence, we have only been to Wembley 4 times, yet here we are just 90 minutes away from a second visit in a mere 7 years under the guidance of Stefan Rupp.

    It's truly a golden age.

    Don't worry, I haven't been to any of the games and don't intend to start if we get to Wembley so you can have my ticket if you want.

    Can you imagine the outrage if we put out a b team on Wednesday and lost. There would be plenty up in arms if that happened and although I personally couldn't care less about this tinpot cup, the club would be foolish not to take it seriously given the potential financial rewards if we get through to Wembley and as Ryan says, he'd like to be able to give the fans a day out because we deserve it. Condescending bar steward.

    I suppose so but I have been on this band wagon since 1967. It becomes more difficult as we get older parking etc., Never bothered about the weather or walking distance when you are younger.

    If you really think we will take anywhere near 30,000 I would suggest you catch the 680 bus to Heights Lane and get off at Lynfield Mount.

    Better not be that lineup next Saturday. If so that would say they are giving priority to this mickey mouse cup over league. I think Macdonald plays weds and sat but GA calculated he couldn't make all 3 (inc. Sutton) and that with Sutton being the weakest side giving Stubbs the start there gave the best chance of winning all 3. That would be astute management.

    I think this is the best we’ve played all season football-wise. Let’s see it through with a win
