F.A.Cup...Re-play V Luton at Home. Tues 16th Jan 19-45

[Spartan2]

Anyone got knowledge on how to watch the game tomorrow?

I know it's being shown in Japan and South America but not in England despite selling out home and away ends.

Apparently it's on Astro Super Sports 3 if you can access that.

On Blu's couch.

Alternatively via a VPN using a one week free trial for Australian Paramount+.

Nice one folks.

Pompey lose!

Pompey lost to Cheltenham (away)

As good as that is, we play Cheltenham (home) next in the league. Looking at Cheltenham's results, they're very much in top half of the table territory. 9th in the form table (last 12 games), we're 1st but it does mean that we can ill afford to look at Cheltenham as an easy touch just because they're 22nd in the league.

Nixon posted on Twitter this morning that we’re interested in ‘Onomah’, who I’m assuming is free agent Josh Onomah, formerly of Spurs, Fulham, and latterly Preston.

He’s a midfielder, so not really a position we’re weak in, and there would also have to be concerns about his current fitness levels. Not one I think anyone would be wildly excited about then.

Edit: wrong thread

There is a chance the couch will be out for Luton! I'll plump up the pillows and get us up and running if I can.

How would one get an invitation for a spare seat on said couch?

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Sheehan and Dempsey in. Thomason benched.

Not sure who Lewis is. We have a scholar called Conor Lewis... who played for the U18s at 14 in Oct 2021 and has been scoring and assisting for them ...

It's him.

He was named as a substitute in the previous round iirc.

He's supposedly quite highly rated.

Thank you. He wasn't, but he was on the bench at Stockport in the Sherpa dead-rubber. This is a fair old step up in importance - although nine subs gives you that ability.

Iles says he's a local lad and BWFC fan.

It's as simple as refreshing the page and finding "Click here for the couch"

I don't think they'll make 11 changes from their 'best XI' (whatever that is) but I suspect they may make 3-5.

Four, apparently, but fans seem slightly surprised/happy with how strong they've gone.

Well its good that we've got youngsters finding their way onto the bench. Presumably if we're getting battered he may get a run out, I can't imagine us being comfortably ahead for him to come on.

As for Luton, they've got Andersen and Townsend on the bench. Andersen from that semi-final that caused us a tonne of problems and Townsend whose well known. They've not gone easy on us either, playing Barkley, who has been listed as possibly their best player of all time. High praise.


IIRC i'm pretty sure Luton's philosophy mirrors our own, so I suspect we're likely to see a war of attrition or a case of who panics the least on the press.

Either way, should be interesting. Guessing a Luton win, but beating them would be chefs kiss.

[DJBlu]

Sheehan might win a free kick today with it being a better calibre of referee. We'll see...

[officer_dibble]

Is that Ross Barkley then?

[nicholaldo]

Is that Ross Barkley then?

The very same.

[officer_dibble]

Well there you go. Had guessed he might end up in Saudi - fair play for trying to revive his career here. He should be miles better than our back line so be interesting to see how they get on with him.

[GhostoftheBok]

The very same.

Worse, it's the rejuvenated one. Ross Barkley the White. Barkley as he was always meant to be.

[DJBlu]

The couch is up.
