Started a thread for our next fixture because I know you all love it.
Final chance this season to see some of our youngsters in action, as it appears we won’t be entering the Cambs Invitation Cup this year.
I’ve got no interest in attending but the rules are so weird that we could have the most meaningless penalty shoot out ever if we draw, which would be hilarious .
Good riddance to our involvement in this travesty of a competition.
PS attend if you want to, don’t let others judge you for doing so.

I’d love to predict our line up, but I sincerely hope I do not recognise a single player in it.
Nobody considered to be in the first team squad should be anywhere near this match.

Do we still need to play a certain number of players that played in the previous league game? Is there still a rule around that?

Think it's a bit more relaxed and more players qualify if they've played a number of games that season or 40 their career. I'd imagine Okedina, Haunstraup and Simper will play and that's 3 of the 4 you have to play already, then potentially Gordon as he qualifies automatically as a loan player.

Think it'll be something like:
Mannion
Okedina, Ibsen Rossi, Jobe, Haunstrup
May/Thomas/possibly even Hoddle Simper
McConnell Yearn Janneh
Gordon

Janneh & Gordon will probably play and i guess Lankester will as he's suspended for the Derby and we then don't play again until the 25th. Chance for McConnell & Yearn to get some minutes and the back up defenders a run out.

I really don’t want to see May/Thomas anywhere near the pitch. Not a chance Cousins will be fit for Saturday if he’s gone off with any form of a hamstring injury.

Spurs kids (spit) in the...'Bristol Street Motors Trophy'. Has there ever been a more farcical dead rubber.
As ever though, great chance for some of the youngsters and I hope we play all of them - Jobe, McConnell, Yearn and Hoddle - from the start. I'd be inclined to bring back Barton and Njoku too tbh.
One or two others really need to step up though.

I could be wrong but I’m sure I read this somewhere (other thread?)
