9 losses in 10 or win the game?

Noone likes the trophy but 9 in 10 is just unacceptable

The Trophy has gone from being a game we don't really care about to one I think we need to try and win, just to stop this run.

Given that games are coming thick and fast over Christmas does he rotate the team and give people a chance to impress or play his strongest team given we've got 4 games in 10 days? It's not like we are playing a poor team 3 days later either...

It's a shame there aren't replays in the FA Trophy this year because it would have been instead of the Boreham Wood game.

Send Woods and the kids. Sooner we are out of it the better. Would probably lose anyway even if we sent a full strength team.

Should just treat it as a reserve match and let players like Grant and Scannell get some minutes into them.

Scannell, Bapaga, Hunt, Reevan, Towler, Grant (if available), Sears, Bell and JMD all start this game if you ask me.

Is McAtee's suspension for 3 games - I thought it was just the one?

If we lose against Stockport then as it stands at the moment we will have no game between the 2nd January and 22 January.

Not necessarily, it depends on the offence the straight red was for but, yes, for McAtee's offence it is a 3 game ban.

Play the full team and as losing isn't important go on all out attack and enjoy it.   Play without fear and inhibition.

Play a first team with more emphasis on attack and use it as a practice game to see if we can play a different way other than serving up the negative shite we are doing at the moment

Play the stiffs, win or lose I don't care in this competition. But a 2nd round game would be useful to play this stiffs again and get another suspended game out of the way for Mcatee and keep us ticking over otherwise it's a couple of weeks without a game. I'd rather win this one, then go out second round. I've no interest in winning this competition.

I had looked at trains for Stockport as a quick cheap trip when the draw was done but won't bother going now after that abject display of playing not to lose on Saturday.

If I was going to this I'd have seen us play Stockport in divisions 2,3,4 and 5, FA Cup, Football League Trophy and FA Trophy. Maybe we played them in the League cup or Watney Cup or Anglo Italian Cup too back in the day? Something to tell the grandkids about anyway.

I agree. Need a win to change momentum and maybe get some confidence back.

Stockport ticket office have confirmed that away fans can pay on the day.

I enquired a few minutes ago as it's only 45 minutes drive for me. Plenty of room for social distancing and a dry forecast ......... for rain and beer!

I wonder if we would have withdrawn if McAtee wasn't banned? Either way, if our squad is decimated with Covid and we don't pull out, that means we either:

Go through because Stockport are in a similar position but forfeit the tie.
Play our strongest possible team which happens to have an average age of 12 but at least McAtee only has one more game to miss.

Our matchday 16 tomorrow will give us an indication as to whether Tuesday is in doubt I think. Assuming the season doesn't pause, that game needs playing by 8th January I think and I doubt us postponing it will reset that clock.

If we go out I couldn’t give a stuff. Never cared about the trophy. I want to see individuals/the team play well. That’s all.

Not at all bothered but a win would be good to give us some much needed confidence and also to shut up the shortsighted amongst us for a few days. The main priority is it must get played, making it one game closer to Mcatee coming back. UTM!!!
