Leyther_Matt Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Week beginning 4th, not necessarily played that night. Could be as late as the Wednesday given we don’t play the following weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can’t be as good as last year and will also mean more and more games to get through in the season. An uneventful draw with Vale, losing on penalties so as not to dent any confidence, would be my preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolton va va Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Up to now I've just ignored this mickey mouse cup but now I really want us out of it. With a good chance of reaching the FA Cup 3rd round & a real chance of promotion, we don't need the distraction, the possible injuries & a fixture pile up (we've already got a backlog of league games )from this. A win for Port Vale please !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted November 25, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2023 While I want to win every game, not at the expense of a promotion push and a tilt at an FA cup run. Use this game for the likes of CMG, Dempsey, Forrester, Mathison etc who need games then review our attitude to it if we beat Harrogate and win the 3rd round cup tie. If we end up in 4th round of FA cup, we need to be out of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Zico Posted November 25, 2023 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2023 I want to win the title, win the ell trophy and have a cup run with a draw away at a top PL team and a home replay full house, win that then don't mind losing in the next round somewhere shit like Swansea away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted November 25, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2023 I don't want us to lose any game. We've got enough first teamers in the squad to put a decent side out and win. Still not overly arsed about the competition, but can't bring myself to want us to lose.

Jol_BWFC Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I 100% want us to win this, but playing the right team i.e. our second string. First teamers play in the league and FA cup. This is for the guys that need the match practice. If we reach the semi final or final, we may well be out of the FA Cup, then we can add more of the first teamers if squad isn’t suffering from injuries.

Remember a few years ago under Parky, we were in danger of going through away at Cheltenham - I'm convinced Mark Howard gave away a last minute penalty to make sure we got knocked out.

Site Supporter desperado Posted November 25, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2023 It might actually work in our favour.

Similarly, Carty - surely available if we beat Vale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
