]Hewitt dropped ,waterfall n Clifton not even in the squad (injuries ? ? )

Waterfall is cup tied
Macc starting the same side that played on Saturday.

Sorry, Clifton still on international duty

Jolly didn't mention any new injuries on his pre match interview.

Well, that went well. Hewitt is on the bench (having played virtually every minute of our last few games including last Tuesday’s Leasing con Trophy against Scunny), Clifton is on international duty and Waterfall is is cup tied.

Jolley out if you ask me...

Quoted from forza ivano

Hewitt dropped ,waterfall n Clifton not even in the squad (injuries??)

Waterfall is cup tied and Clifton is on international duty.

Cook not featuring anywhere.

Cook did jar his leg on the first half on Saturday. I wonder if that is giving him a bit of gyp?

Cannot believe Hewitt dropped for Gibson

I hope the game goes a bit better than this thread!

Come on Town, me and my wife will be going to Stamford Bridge if we win this.

Clifton cup tied and Waterfall on international duty 😝

i saw it as a left back playing left back and a creative(hopefully) mid in midfield

Quoted from promotion plaice

Come on Town, me and my wife will be going to Stamford Bridge if we win this.

And if we don't you can take her to Stamford Bridge, site of the battle in 1066 in Yorkshire.

In a sizzling night of footie action it's Town v Macc on the laptop and England v Kosovo on telly.
Have to say Raheem Sterling looks very, very good. Never thought I'd say that!

Has it kicked off yet, can’t make it out on this riveting thread

The Telewag says that Town playing many long balls to Hanson.  Not coming off.  Need more variety otherwise it could be like last Sat. A lot of possession to them.

Quoted from monkeyboy

Sssssshhhhh - I'm sleeping

Always thought this would go to pens but we have pace on the bench if we need it.

Same here but getting confusing-just thought the Kosova fullback scored own goal for Macclesfield and Whitehouse came third in the 8-20 at Epsom.

Been absolute excrement

Macclesfield are better at passing the ball around than us and have some nippy and tricky wide players who are getting lots of space and using it well.

Gibson, Robson, Hendrie and Green aren't up to it at present. Good thing is that they aren't as good as Crewe.

When you play 3 in the middle you need them to do the work of 4. Ours are as effective as two.

Sounds poor and when we do get a bit of possesion unable to hit our players in the box (get the impression we don't have anyone in the box when we are attacking anyway) :-/.

Hopefully we'll live up to our second half billing this time, can see there being something done at half time to counter them cutting in with those two pacey players constantly

No matter who is playing left back for town they never get anybody falling back to help-whether Gibson ,,Hendry or Ring

Think the truith is that altho we are better and have some better players than last season, we are not as good as we like to think we are.

Dreadful Scottish defending has now given 3 goals away in less than 60 mins.  Not us, England.

Good job our forwards are very creative and ruthless.

Another crap ref he's giving us nothing.

Max Wright is on, a move to 4-4-2?

going by the stats looks like we're edging it now. esp with Max on.

Said Max beat 5 players in a great run.  Nearly scored!

Not impressed with Whitehouse

Sounds a lot brighter since we went 4-4-2

Too much being asked of Whitehouse IMO after such a serious injury.

Quoted from buckstown

Have to say Raheem Sterling looks very, very good. Never thought I'd say that!

Seriously? He’s only one of the best players in the best team in the country...

Getting lot more freekicks now

Utm

Played so well second half. deserve a win

Apparently Chelsea is £10 a ticket on their website!!  The price of a pint down here!!

Cardwell put on in 94th min and then selected as a penalty-taker.  Master-stroke!  Good job that he did not go out on loan.

Squad game. Plenty of time for everyone.

I guess Hewitt was due to take a penalty if necessary.

Gutted i cant go to Chelsea but ill pay and watch on ifollow :)

Great stuff, hope I can get a ticket.

Quoted from lukeo

Dont think ifollow does league cup games I'm afraid

Surely the 5,118 will be enough for all who wanna go - especially for a midweek game - what did we have at Palace on the Saturday night FACUP game??

Quoted from topuphere666

I bloody hope I can get a ticket!

Tickets already on general sale for Chelsea stands on their website

Good job we are getting a pay day at Chelsea as apparently there is no prize money until the semi final stage. Could be about £100,000 if we could attract a 25,000 gate

5,500 at Palace. Yes it was a Saturday, but Palace are simply not the same draw as Chelsea.

Quoted from Heisenberg

5,500 at Palace. Yes it was a Saturday, but Palace are simply not the same draw as Chelsea.

And it's a bit easier to get to for most people.

I can’t complain at all living in Northampton - just gotta sort a ticket and work out where to park up and tube it in any tips be greatly received as always my Fishy family

They had 39500 there three seasons ago against L1 opposition, I would think there'll be at least 35,000. Especially at a tenner a ticket.

I'd be surprised if Chelsea get that many -  they have 4 home games on the trot - Sevilla, Liverpool, us and then Brighton.

That is a lot of dosh to splash out down here - I'd say 25k.

Chelsea, however, do generally get decent attendances for these games against crappy teams like us.

If you read it carefully that is a breakdown of the prize money awarded in 2017.The headline refers to 2019-20 but the context is 2-3 years older. I hope I'm wrong as £12k is a nice little bonus

Quoted from topuphere666

Got a couple of stubs if you need them Sam, I’ll be back in US when we play them.

Decent bit of cash to come in. Expect around £100k from gate at Chelsea, plus a boost from the additional crowd tonight of about £10k and prize money (or maybe not) of £12k
That’s decent for us.

3011 (44)

And the boost I mentioned was the extra 1300 not at the 1st game.

we've driven in to Turnham Green/Stamford Brook area before for a midweek game and then done District Line. Probably quickest for you to do the train to Kings X then piccadilly n District

Quoted from Mariner Timsky

We used to drive and park in the car park at High Barnet Station and then get a tube in from there.

Its about the furthest north tube station, saved getting into Central London, and the Tube Trains used to run till pretty late and regular.

Been a while but done it a few times for previous Town games at Chelsea and Arsenal.

Which is the best High Barnet or Cockfosters? to get to Fulham broadway, anyone know how it takes on the tube, years since I have used the underground.

I'm guessing we will be selected for extended highlights which  brings a bit of extra revenue. We've been really unlucky with other good ties as this would usually guarantee TV selection.

Quoted from The Yard Dog

Which is the best High Barnet or Cockfosters? to get to Fulham broadway, anyone know how it takes on the tube, years since I have used the underground.

I always go to Cockfosters when going to London, BUT I've looked and whilst you only have 1 change (at South Kensington), there are 25 or 26 stations on the way to Fulham Broadway!!  Even the first 12 to King's Cross takes 30-40 minutes, from memory.........

What site did you watch town on?

Quoted from Heisenberg

In other words, I wish we'd got Arsenal instead!

There's actually a quicker and simpler way to get to Chelsea from the north. Get the overground (colloquially known as the Gingerbread Line), from Watford Junction or Watford High St in the direction of Clapham Junction. Get off at West Brompton and walk the rest (you can also change and get a tube from there if you're feeling lazy). It's only 16 stops from Watford.
