with fixtues like this there are two options:

play 1st team and kill em off full power.

play whole reserve team for match and for replay.

poyets dances in the middle half hearted.

We opted for the first, didn't win (yet) = egg on faces. That's a massive morale boost for Darren Ferguson & his nicely rested players.

I'll say it now, before we either fluke it or Wrexham win it: they've played absolutely brilliantly tonight and nothing like a typical non-league side, hacking and scrapping its way to a result. They've absolutely outpassed and outfought us.

And they have some quality players. Who is that lad who keeps matching Buckley for pace ?

our fitness to show in last half hour...final score 3-1..what anyone else think final score??

Why do we keep suggesting they're any less fit than we are?

They are full time professionals, and they probably spend more time running around in their league than we do in ours, with our lovely "pass it around the back" style compared to most of the BSP's boot & chase tactic.

Too many people going on about our fitness giving us the edge for my liking. It's like tempting fate...

Outfought yes, out passed no, more direct counter attacking Vincelot & Calderon both struggling tonight.

Did anybody see QPR v MK Dons last night? If MK Dons had any class they would have got a goal.

I am not really enjoying this game though.
