Something of a free hit given it’s the League Cup and an opportunity for some of the lads who’ve been on the bench in the first two games to start but we probably want to give some players an opportunity to get more game time.
Crocombe Efete Pearson Smith Amos Green Morris JMD Wearne Clifton Pepple
Green and Efete have looked ok but need more minutes I think to get themselves properly up to full tilt, Morris or Holohan is no biggie, just need someone else there. Wearne looked quality and will benefit from a run out. Pepple as a loan striker is a risk but as he won’t want to risk Taylor, I see no alternative.

I thought Battersby would be in goal to give him some experience.

Isn’t it about time we got our footballing fortune and get a televised game against a prem side? It only takes one win, two wins and the top 7 premier league sides join us. Play the strongest side and keep it settled. Mess about in that other cup if necessary

Play the youth in that and see what happens. The League Cup has provided us with some of greatest nights in my life time over the years - biggest giant killings home and away, biggest home crowd since the 50s, yep play strongest team. And we'd never have had a mention on the John Peel show without it...

Play the strongest team for me in both this and the FA cup. The other cup I shall not name I personally would rotate the squad.

When we beat Liverpool? Was he complimentary towards us?

A cup run would be great and I see no reason why we can't go through with a rotated team, which is testament to the strength of our squad. Cropper, Pearson, Amos, maguire-drew, Wearne are all more than capable of coming in, and maybe even Khouri too. Wouldn't be surprised if People starts too with Taylor not having trained much, back-to-back games in the space of a few days may be a bit much.

Yep, and I can't actually remember too much - I was on cloud 9 of course, leaving Liverpool in the car with 2 Liverpool fans. I'm sure he congratulated us but I think it more along the lines I can't believe we've really just lost at home to Grimsby. We have that affect don't we - that's why we hold the record for the most managers sacked after being beaten by us.

You're not allowed (Papa John's Trophy) "EFL clubs must have at least four 'qualifying' outfield players in their line-ups, with such a player meeting these requirements:
Any player who started the previous or following first-team fixture Any player who is in the top 10 players at the club who have made the most starting appearances in league and domestic cup competitions that season Any player with 40 or more first-team appearances in their career Any player on loan from a Premier League club or any EFL 'Category One' academy club A club can play any eligible goalkeeper in the competition."
