Grimsby v Wolves 4th Round FA Cup 15/02/26

You still can't get tickets legitimately unless you are at least a member. I was going to go to Palace, but they aren't going to general sale

I let my membership lapse last season as it no longer seemed necessary and got tickets to the half dozen or games including three London aways without any bother.

Funnily enough has been harder this year with no joy on the London games, although iirc there were some right crappy dates and kick off times last season facilitating some GS being available.

I don’t do FB but might have to have a shufti on there, although this season for London aways there’s only Palace (I’m away for that) then W Ham on 11th April, then it’s onto the championship next year and I guess that knocks back the need to renew the membership even further.

A sad forecast for what will happen during this match based on recent matches:

1. Our players will have no leadership and will on the whole not be up for it.

2. We will play a back 5 with two defensive midfielders to 'keep it tight' at the back in the first half. There will then be hoof ball from the 8 at the back to Tolu with Armstrong and Mane too far away. We will not retain much possession moving forward and will be swamped. AGAIN!

3. We will have no proper set piece ie corner, throw in or free kick routines apart from a flick on from the first man in the crowd of players. That will be little Mane or little Armstrong and they will be crowded out. All applicable if the ball actually reaches the main ruck of players.

Oh and I forgot to add that the refereeing team will be complete homers.

Sad days.

That's the spirit!

 

[Templeton Peck]

Strong team. Benched Angel though.

 

[Wellen Wolf]

I know!
Sadly, I am going to need some spirits this afternoon! A glass or three of Laphroiag.
KTF UTW ;-)

 

[Templeton Peck]

On the plus side, I get to see Jackson Tchatchoua play again.

Am I imagining it, or are we playing two holding midfielders against Grimsby?

Exactly!
Ridiculous.
And, if Tchatchoua and Wolfe don't get forward......

Try and stay in the game for 60 minutes. Then change it up.

Edwards is going to take the sting out of the opposition and hit them in the second half, just like England did to Scotland in the rugby yesterday.

TNT Sports presenter saying that the condition of the pitch could be a leveler.


Thank fuck that there's a chance that Grimsby will be brought down to our level

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Apparently Tchatchoua may have his footwork hampered by the pitch. The commentator has clearly never seen him play.

 

[Jack Regan]

Nearly losing within the first minute.

 

[EnglishBob]

That's a proper 1970s pitch

 

[NicholasG1973]

Johnstone beaten there by the pace of the shot.

In a fucking quagmire.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

How many different captains have we had this season!?

JSL, Doherty, Andre, Toti, Gomes, Sa, S. Bueno..

Anymore?

 

[Celtiña]

Going to need a really professional performance today with them well up for it, the crowd up for it and the state of the pitch.
