[ Tue 24th Sep ] v Huntingdon Town, KO 7:45pm UCLCUP HOME

[Trek]

We should certainly halve the usual entrance price for this game... :

Shared gate so, I guess, not possible.

[BartonRaz]

Team selection will be interesting. I expect all the eleven who have started the past three games to be rested.

Possible team
Quincy
Rashid Koriya
Gillingwater
Parky ?
AN OTHER
McBride
Dent
Wiz
Gearing?
Allen
Ben Morgan

It looks like some of the under 21's will be needed. Is Louis Smith still with us?
Normally I would expect some of the under 18's but they have an important match the night before.

That's a good side IMO. We've got great strength in depth. I reckon Merrill might play given he's going to miss the next 3 games - unless he's suspended? Koriya also mentioned in the post-match interview that he wanted to play as he's been on holiday and needs to get up to speed.

Be interesting to see, but if we go with the XI above I won't feel remotely unhappy paying full price for the fixture. Hopefully we can get 300+ through the gate.

Huntingdon manager has tweeted this morning saying he's struggling for centre backs.

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, this is a game that I'm having to miss. First of the season.

After a period of change they've restored the suspension info to the UCL site, so you can see that Joe is suspended - http://full-time.thefa.com/DisplayFixtu ... d=12871178

I'd go 3-5-2

Quincey
Gilly-Parky-Adam Zilokowski
Wiz-McBride-Smith-Dent-Gearing
Morgs-Lance

If Matty Gearing is still not fit then Morgs on the wing and Mason Thomas up top

if Joe is suspended for tonights game does that mean his 3 games will be Huntingdon, Cambridge and Welly.? If so we/him have got off lightly. My only concern is does the Welly game have senior status?
Even if the Welly game is not counted he will only miss the match v Harborough.

Its quite amusing to see Huntingdons list of registered players no less than 65!

The rules for step 5 and below are quite specific that County Cups do count - see the Northants FA Disciplinary Handbook link on http://www.afcdiamonds.com/united-count ... ook-201314

Maybe they were expecting a lot of suspensions :lol:
Shame Joe will miss Sat but as you say could have been a lot worse.
Have we got any good songs prepared for our guests tonight.
Obvious one
Cup in the morning your out the cup in the morning. Assuming FA still plan to make decision tomorrow.

Your Chairman may be wealthy but talks out of his arse,
Your manager`s the only one who showed any class.

Playing the late race card has not been a hit,
So please just keep your gob shut we`re fed up with your shit.

I now pronounce you football's first Poet Laureate

[FOOTYMAN]

I wonder if they will see it as a distraction to the league, or, if they get thrown out of the Cup, whether they will take it as a serious route to a trophy. ?????
