v Cambridge Utd (h) - 06/01/24 FA Cup R3

[Upside Down]

Here we go again, the 2024 F.A. Cup.

As the club have once again stuck two fingers up in the face of long standing loyal fans its looking like there may be more Cambridge fans there than Rovers. 

We should win this but who knows, honestly do we really care?

Hopefully we steamroll this lot and get a generous draw in the next round. Would be nice to reach the quarters or semis.

Venkys out ra ra ra

Assuming this is the preview topic, avoiding a Cupset will be an achievement in current circumstances.

13 years and counting.

Advancing into the next round and getting hopefully a money spinner takes on more importance than usual right now.

That's why we are almost guaranteed to flunk it but then again probably the lowest crowd in a long time means only one thing.

I got my ticket for this game when they first came out, as printing at home is what I always do, so it was no difference. But after recent shit-shows I am undecided on whether to attend or not, as I will save the cost of train and bus fares.

It seems Cambridge have a dodgy keeper also should be a high scoring game then.

[davulsukur]

Going to need to rest as many players as possible, as we keep getting told the lads are knackered due to a small squad/injuries. Gives them 2 weeks off ready for the game against WBA the following week.

----------------------Hilton

Hill------Gamble-----Wharton---Batty

------Garrett------Travis------Weston

Markanday----Leonard---Gilsenan

Not sure on fitness of Wharton. Assuming this will be Hills last game? 

If not Batty, whoever the next in line is Duru or whoever.

Doesn't really matter. Even Chaddy now knows a one-footed Pears is better than Leo.

Hope like hell we don't sign him and sell them Leo, for a quick profit.

Duru is a right-back. We already have more than enough players playing out of position. I think Batty would be a good choice on the left, he has speed.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I’d play our best team. We could get a money spinner in the next round if we win. Knowing what our best team is is another story.

Blackburn End sales are abysmal.
 

Waggott is a clown.

[Mattyblue]

He’ll be delighted, it can be closed permanently for cup ties going forward.

this is dedicated to swag and fraser

It's live on a lot of international TV so I'll be viewing the digital disaster as it happens.

I’m hoping Jake Batty gets some minutes on Saturday. Looked a bit ropey against Walsall and has not been seen in the first team since.

I thought he might have a breakthrough season and put Pickering under some pressure. Maybe he’ll be loaned out before the window shuts?

JW stand would be just as bad if it wasn't for the subtle blocks of 50+ seats greyed out across the stand.

Wow I’ve never seen anything like that, are front row popular or have they just not been on sale?

Shambolic handling of this  

[ABBEY]

Just imagine owners like this elsewhere. 

Imagine having local media too scared to ask hard questions like Peter White would.

Imagine fans who are divided in such a way .

Imagine a club allowing Liverpool to take over.

Imagine closing the bbe

Imagine discriminating against the non tech

Yeah they don't sell the front rows now except for disabilities/mobility.

Yeh I would like to see Hilton. I get it we need the win but seriously we need an alternative to Leo. Give Hilton a game.
