    Absolutely zero point whatsoever in this game regardless, but the thought of our team with none of Holmes (rested), Botaka Magennis or Lookman (international duty) in it makes me want to reach for the shotgun. Unfathomably dull. We'll be lucky if we have a shot.

    Are the mandatory number of selections from our last team reduced by the number of players we have on international duty?

    As long less than six from Saturday's team are away on international duty, I wouldn't think so.

    I think it is a good opportunity to give some fringe players a run out. Tex, Ba, Novak, Chickenshit, Ajose, plus youth team players. It could be quite interesting.

    I hope if anyone goes they will let us know what happened.

    Tex and Ba won't be playing. Aribo, Charles- Cook, Djikisteel, and Hanlan will all be involved. Could be something like this.

    Phillips
    Foley, Baeur, Pearce, Chicksen
    Charles-Cook, Crofts, Aribo, Hanlan,
    Novak, Ajose

    In normal times I might have gone to see the young players make their debuts. At least there would be some novelty.

    Would he not be with the young Northern Irish squad?

    But don't mind the look of that team. Got to be giving the younger players a chance in this, not that I'll be there to watch it, pointless game.

  • Prediction:

    Two teams, who don't give a stuff about the comp, will play an incredibly dull and tedious draw (0-0 or 1-1) in front of a few hundred customers who also don't really give a stuff about the comp.

    If we lose, Slade will say it's a meaningless tournament and he was taking the opportunity to give the youngsters/oldies/crap squad players (not that that rules out too many) a run out, but if we win he'll say "thank you for your patience, that's the spark we needed, and we've turned a corner in our season".

    Mind you, if our first XI beat the Fakenham Town U11s he'd probably claim we'd turned a corner and the season was back on track ...

    Crawley very much care about it. I work in Crawley and with Crawley fans and they believe that if they beat us it is a sign that they are working back towards league 1.

    I hope we use the kids and stuff the beggars.

    If two teams " don't give a shit" about the game then why can't it be 8--7 instead of a nil nil and pens ?

    Maybe they should play rush back keepers ?

    Ajose looked naffed off with the non service he got on Saturday even dropping to halfway line to get the ball . Would be good to see him get s full game and s couple of goals.

    Look, we beat a strong Southampton U9's team in the last round, no reason why we can't win this

    Perhaps you could mingle outside with Crawley fans and day dream about the unique fan experience of seeing future Premier League stars in our very own first team.

    League One games at home are enough torture thanks to the current regime.

    I can't believe that some people are actually going to this.

    In defense of the Checkertrade Trophy that picture could be from any one of our home games.
