Big game Tuesday with a biggish payday  if we win. 
 

I am expecting the same team to start from Saturday

Good man. Look forward to it. Are the blank pages from 1-7 the invisible stuff we don’t see? 😎

If we do get past Luton I think they will booster the numbers with two lost until potentially mid February (should be adding another 2/3 regardless though with the tough run in).

I want us to win every game we play even if we have to play every midweek to the end of the season

We already pretty much are.

March is empty mid weeks

Cheltenham & Shrewsbury will need slotting in.
Plus Carlisle if we win on Tuesday.

It won’t be if we progress as Carlisle would need scheduling and now talk of Shrewsbury falling on international weekend, bristol rovers is on BSM final weekend so that’s another if we was to reach it and obviously yesterday’s also needs fitting in 

 

Stay In the cups as long as poss. Win the realistic one. Get promoted. 

Get more bodies in if needed to lighten the load.  

Keep winning, keep bringing in the coin. 

 

And it gives us somat do ona Tuesday night

Halfway through the window and there doesn't seem to be much going on.

Two matches most weeks. Keep training for tactics & loosening up, lighten that load & use your full squad.

No problems.

Distinct possibility we'd also need a new manager.

It crossed my mind but I don't really want to go there.

Genuinely think we’ll win. If we do, I hope we end up going to Everton just from a pure travel/faff point of view. 

Is the correct answer. Finally get a walkable match😁

Have feeling IE will play near enough full strength team, Luton don’t have a game for 2 weeks after Tuesdays game, think they will be going for it .

Barnsley A on 5th March and Oxford on 12th.

19th is free.  26th free but presume that would be a last resort as got Stevenage A on Good Friday (29th) followed by Reading Monday 1st.

Surprised it's taking folk so long.

14 league games in February and March. 

Now I'm sure other teams will too, but I couldn't give a toss about other teams, only ours.

Like @Traf, I never want us to lose but we really need to go up

Think we lose a few players if we don't, and then we may be starting again.

If this is as far as we go in the cups, so be it.

Good points.

No one wants to lose games, obviously, but the squad needs managing. 

It's all very well dragging out the old trope about being able to play 2 games a week, but that misses the point. 

Those players will inevitably start to suffer some fatigue, which reduces performance levels and potentially increases injuries, which could really cost us.

If the levels drop just a bit, that also reduces our chances of getting victories; in whatever competition we're playing in.

At the same time, players will also want to play- in particular against a Premier league side- so Evatt and the team will clearly need to use the sports data, together with managing personalities, to achieve targets.

But I thought then BEN was rubbish and nonsense.

winning is good. 
 

I don’t think the difference between play offs and automatics is going to be tiredness more the fact we freeze / get giddy thinking we are Man City and should walk games. 
 

Exactly. More than big enough squad to cope, hopefully with one or two loans this window, and keep going on all fronts.

All the more reason to bring in 2 or 3 players in this window. 

I can see at least 1 coming in anyway just because it's January but if we win on Tuesday, could be maybe 3

Completely agree and i was up for 2 anyway to cover jones and dan, but just who are these players

A club above is going to want their player to get something out of it

A club below arent going to loan us their best player

Meaning permanent deals

Absolutely mate, see you are already starting to appreciate him. 

I’m still pondering this…. With Leyton Orient in mind it’s another expense.

But too many pushing factors to go though, added to by the respects to pay before the game and seemingly no dodgy channel either, are making it more likely now

Read a minutes silence is planned tomorrow, a shame they'll be hardly anyone there

Evatt said last week targets are identified, I’d think we’ve already made contacts with said clubs and just waiting for those clubs to allow the players to talk leave.
