    Notts is a good shout.

    Ah I'd throw in Walsall as well.

    Bingo, 39 league games against Vale between the start of 85/85 and the end of 24/25, i guess they were a team we didn't play twice by the end of the covid cut season?

    Gillingham & Swindon are next at 36 league games, 35 against Walsall and 30 against Oldham.

    According to the bookies odds they can't call it tonight with us at 13/8 Blackburn 8/5 and the draw at 23/10. From what I've read on the Blackburn side it looks like they are going to play a mixture of reserves and youngsters but I'm expecting us to make a lot of changes as well so I'm not surprised the bookies can't call it.

    My guess at the team that will be picked tonight is:
    Walker
    Baldwin - J. Wright - Kelly (if he can do 60+ minutes, if not then Tilt)
    Halliday - Pattison - Power - Touray
    Lapslie - Swan - T. Wright

    As we can name 9 on the bench then the bench will be the 7 that have dropped out from Saturday's 11 plus Metcalfe and Richards if he is fit, if not then possibly Lewis Boney unless I'm missing a senior player who's fit.

    Kick off delay for this one? Sounds like practically every city fan is stuck on the motorway

    Sounds like a nightmare journey whatever the route. A cow on the M62 has closed it at junction 21, according to someone on facebook there's an overturned car at Cross Hills which has closed a road and on the train the one due in at 18:20 is delayed by 45 minutes so not just in until about 19:05.

    A lot of changes for Blackburn with 8 from their team that started at the weekend against West Brom. They've got an 18 year old in goal who's making his first senior appearance so need to be testing him early on.

    Do any overseas based fans know how to stream this one tonight? Bantams TV says no video only audio and the EFL says Carabao Cup games are not included in the TV package. I'm in Poland and no channel here has paid for the TV rights and even if they had, the two games selected for broadcast in some other countries are not City. Fans of specific clubs getting shafted again so some channel in Malaysia can have exclusivity for games they are not going to even show, ffs!
