An easier game would have been better.

But RDZ will be targeting a trophy from this competition, nothing less. We'll go full strength and full tilt.

Should be a decent number of away tickets.

Am I alone in thinking I hope we get knocked out of this and the FA Cup for a chance of winning Silverware in Europe?

It's going to be a hard season as it is, so less games the better, but I guess RDZ don't think like this and wants to win every game.

I don't think like that.

It's time to get some silverware on show at the Amex.

We beat Arsenal away last season, we can beat Chelsea away as well

Goalkeepers do not need rotating. It’s not like they'll ever suffer from burnout.
My view is that it’s better to keep them both practiced in playing first team football do that it won’t matter which one plays whenever.

Ipswich Town v Wolves

Exeter City v Luton Town

Aston Villa v Everton

Manchester United v Crystal Palace

Port Vale v Sutton United

Bradford City v Middlesbrough

Bournemouth v Stoke City

Lincoln City v West Ham

Brentford v Arsenal


Chelsea v Brighton

My view is that ideally its better to have a settled back line, with the goalie being an integral part of that. The relationship between the CB's and the keeper is so crucial, particularly given how we play. So although I can see where you're coming from, I think routinely chopping and changing the keeper ends up being counter-productive IMO.
