    Still think it’s a shit competition and a pisstake we have to play against youth teams but I wish the team all the best - if only for gaining form and momentum but mainly for the fans who have made the long journey up 
    I agree but let’s be honest. What else do we have to look forward to this season? Might as well try for a day out at Wembley.

    Game live on Talksport 2
  • All four quarter-finals being played tonight... no need to wait until next week for everyone else to finish.


    7pm kick offs: Rotherham v Cambridge & Wigan v Arsenal U21

    7:45pm kick off: Sutton v Harrogate
    A new ground for most us if we play the winners, I imagine
  • So 3-5-2 it is with Leko and Purrington wing backs, Jacko sounding very upbeat, and recognising the 300 + travelling Addicks, respect to each and every one of them, should be a good game with a strong line up..

  • A decent looking team and bench that. Slightly surprised we don't have ANY kids on the bench, someone like Henry for example, but Jacko has clearly decided to treat this as a league type match
  • We ALWAYS play 352, so it surprises me when people assume we're playing something else. 

    Everyone in that side fits the Jacko 352, Matthews has played right centre back before, Leko right wing back and Purrington left wing back
  • Love the Cyril Knowles stand!

    A blast rom my youth!

    Strong lineup.

    Dobson rested? No surprise Chuks and Inniss can't start 2 games in 3 days.
    Only 4 players from Saturday's starting line up are starting tonight and one of those is the keeper. Also not looking like wing back formation to me . 4 4 2.
    Jacko has stated its 352

    Would be really shit if we get to Wembley and have to play a youth team. Hopefully the proper teams get through!

    Is that who we get, or do they do another draw?

    Can we save talk of Wembley and who we play in the next round until this game has finished?
  • Morgan playing so well, Jacko has cloned him 
  • No Lavelle in the squad is surprising.
    Jacko said he wouldn’t be - he wants him to have a 90 for the u23s.

    No idea

    Would be dull if we got Rotherham or Wigan away ...

    He didn't feature for the U23s today though, which made people think he would play tonight
