CyderInACan Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Short trip up to Gloucestershire tonight for our first ever competitive game v. FGR. Presumably the XI will see a few changes from Saturday with the opportunity to rotate a few players to keep it fresh. Kalas, surely, must start? As we know, a decent run in the league cup can do wonders for you if you can negotiate the early rounds successfully. As it seems that the only way to keep up-to-date with the action from your armchair is Radio Bristol on the actual wireless (no TV coverage or internet radio) it's 94.9FM for me later, proper old skool. FGR certainly feel like a club on the rise. They won on saturday and will surely challenge for the playoffs again this season? They're never short of publicity with Dale Vince as the owner. I think it could be close. But we will prevail. 3-2 away win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Not overly bothered about the early rounds of this competition but I am expecting us to win. Whilst a cup run can boost morale, it can also increase injuries and fatigue in our players and can affect league performance either way, so has as many pros as cons. Still, we can all remember knocking Jose Mourinho's massive Man Utd out of the cup not too long ago and what a special night to remember. Such a shame we had to sell that team.

Red Army 75 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 First trip to Forest Green really looking forward to it . Expect a totally different side to Saturday but still expecting the win. Would like to see Williams captain the side tonight and start seeing hit a run of games and form. Going for a 3-1 City win with no rain.

Hope MO’L, DS, TK, TM, TB, JW HNM and NW all start. I know that’s eight changes but would hope they are all in contention for a place in the first team.

BCFCGav Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 This is probably the most keen I've been on us winning in CCR1. In recent seasons I've had delusions of a promotion charge and I only cared about league form but this season being transitional and mid-table being very acceptable, a cup run would be nice for entertainment and money into the club. Hoping tonight for some good performances from youngsters/fringe players, and a goal for Conway or Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I have many questions. Has Nagy withdrawn his "indication he wants to leave"? Wonder how Kalas feels about playing but Wells being giving the captaincy? Will Massengo play further up the pitch as part of the "3" in the 4231?
