Not that am aware of... think its more the fact its his turn to be forgotten by me as nearly always forgot to put a player either in the team or on the bench when writing a Preview
Would love to win this and then draw a big premier team at home in round 3. All our players seem to be tired, heavy pitch etc but I rarely here the opposition manager with such problems? Joys of a small squad. Last thing we want is a replay so I am going 1-1.
expect doncaster to play a weakened side although they do not have a game tuesday, there next 2 are bristol rovers a then a derby of scunthorpe at home, i would like to see us get to the 3rd round get one of the premier league big boys away have a day out lose by a small margin then save the wembley trip till may and get promoted via playoffs.
what will be quite annoying is resting players saturday to be turned over badly by pompey on tuesday.
Looking at the Doncaster Rovers teams against Chorley x 2 and the subsequent League games basically other than one small change the same team played. They named a full strength side in each game. So this result is likely to depend on which team we decide to field although fatigue may play a small part with the Doncaster team in the second half as they have plenty of games with the same team.
Personally think that Ward will play some part, we have a week between this game and the Blackpool one so it’s not a three day turnaround. Not a clue about the rest of the team to be honest, think that Bows could definitely change a lot of the team. We also can have seven subs, so I would assume that players like Maloney will be in the squad, as will Reeves.
My complete guess of the team would be something like:
Happy to be corrected, but thinking back over the last 15 years or so, I can only remember Spurs and Fulham as decent 3rd round ties for us. Can’t see why this year will change if we do win today ... non-prem team awaits I would imagine.
There's way too much positivity on here about our chances. Just back Doncaster and enjoy your winnings.
LOL
But to be fair more often than not it seems when we have one of these posts before games when people are positive about a game we lose. And more often than not it seems when people are negative about a game we win. People were positive about Bristol about Bristol Rovers last weekend. So on balance we might not be so lucky today as it is bound to change. But I have a nasty feeling this is going to an unndeed replay up there on a midweek evening which we will win on spot kicks.

Here is a brief look at our history of FA Cup second round ties:
As I’m with my son this weekend we thought we would go to the game. We would normally sit in north upper (not open) maybe the east stand (not open) or at a push in the middle of the west stand (tickets are showing as available but you can’t actually buy most of them). Well done.
Dont know what the fuss is about getting a big team in the 3rd round,are premier league reserve sides classed as big teams,if we got Man City at home,would we see Aguero,Silva and his mates,I doubt it.
I am about to leave. If we don't play the strongest team we can muster anything better than a beating will be a surprise. I want to, but don't expect to after today, progress in this competition.

From what i recall, Spurs played pretty much their full strength team v Wimbledon last season, certainly Kane scored. Even Man Citys resevres is sure to contain at least 8 Internationals

If we win we're probably draw another League 1 team in the 3rd round.....or Millwall away. If Donny win they'll get Man City at home.
