That was great to win! #COYR Well it’s eleven a side and involves a ball but that’s about all they have in common. The Watney cup was a pre season straight knock out cup. This is a mid season trophy with group stages. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 So, do we waste a @Ghost of Cloughmatch thread on this or is this the de facto thread? From @Shuff264's fantastic investigation of the rules I'd suggest he's missed Fozzy and we should pick our 4 as: Fozzy (to skipper the side) Dobbin (to try to get a goal) Collins (to try to get a goal) Smith (for fitness) Loach Oduroh Rooney Forsyth (c) Grewal-Pollard Smith Thompson Dobbin Aghatise Nunn Collins If Collins needs a rest then Dobbin up top and Bird in as the fourth man.

TheresOnlyWanChope Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Unless you are really old and remember the Fa cup win or you supported Derby during the 70s, the odd promotion is the only success in memory and a cup win, whatever cup would be pretty nice. Having said that, not bothered if Derby go out. I am always more keen on the league cup and FA cup- we should ALWAYS go all out to win these. The clubs who have won the league cup - Derby should be on that list but always field weak teams. The painful reality is Derby are, at the moment, a lower league side and this is a lower league competition so this is what we should aspire to, as depressing as that is. Dreaming of Wembley!

I'd rather Rosie picks his Xi (+ 7 subs) with our L1 campaign in mind. If we pay a 5k fine then so be it. I can see the sense in playing Oduroh, Rooney, Thompson and Collins but not Fozzy. If Dobbin and Smith need to boost fitness levels then maybe an hour for them. It'd be interesting to see how many of the 48 L1/L2 clubs would vote in favour of having this tournament given a choice.

samtheram83 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 A bit of topic but didn’t we get to the final of the Anglo Italian cup and lose vs cremonese?

I think Gianluca Vialli started off at Cremonese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Aghatise is injured, sadly. Buzzing around on the edge of the squad, got a great shot on him. Maybe try Cybulski instead of Collins as he's building his fitness back up. Did okay in pre-season and is the nearest thing we've got to cover at CF. Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact I was there yesterday spending £100 on tickets shows that. Had we been playing Liverpool we still would have left on 85 mins as we had to be out and back on the motorway.
