Tried to buy a ticket for this and it tells me that this event is not available to me.

I am a member I have signed in my membership is active.

Shambles, I can't be arsed phoning the ticket office so just won't bother.

Did you register for that 'official' club membership thing they brought in recently? I haven't, but have a pre-existing account, and receive the same message as you. If you're in the same boat as me it might be that.

Yep I did and it shows active member.

I had same problem at weekend. Only way I could resolve it was to call the ticket office...

So, I log on to the club site > Buy Tickets > 'This Match is Only Available to Season Ticket Holders and Members' (That's me, belt and braces) > 'Incorrect Email or Password' (No it isn't, they're exactly the same as the details I've just used, maybe I've typed my password incorrectly. I'll try again) > 'Incorrect Email or Password' > Aaaaaaand you can feck off then!

I think they've fcuked up royally - fairly sure I had different passwords for iFollow, Tickets and Website at one point....I've tried to make them all match, as single sign-on doesn't appear to be a thing. I wonder if someone will invent it in the last 15 years or so...

Woulda been a perfect game for Edwards and Senior but they can’t come back yet.

Are Fleetwood likely to rest some given they're currently sat in the relegation zone?

I can't answer that question directly (although we'll know in 15 minutes how many changes each manager has made) but I can tell you that the three sides directly above Fleetwood (Gillingham, Morecambe and Shrewsbury), plus AFC Wombles five places above them, have no such quandary as they all went out in the groups.

The only two teams below Fleetwood, Donny and Crewe, went through and were drawn against each other – they play tomorrow.

For the record, all this round's games take place tonight or tomorrow except Exeter-Pompey, which is in a fortnight.

Other stats: 15 of the 24 third-tier teams survived the groups, 14 of the 24 fourth-tier, and only 3 of the 16 academies – all in the southern half. The next stage (the last 16) is also regionalised, then it's all-in from the last eight - although academy teams are kept apart until the semis.

TEAM NEWS: strong. Dapo in for Kacha, Baps for Santos.

Billy Crellin in nets for Fleetwood? Shoooooooooooooooooooooooottttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.

Strong lineup. I'm happy with that. Surprised to see Delfouneso out of the starting lineup and i'm presuming Kachunga's getting rested somewhat.

As an aside, i'm glad we've got relatively full strength here. I suspect we may be on for a midtable finish given what has transpired so far this season, so this may be something that makes the most of our season.

Crellin to start for FT. Glad to see he's managing to get a game elsewhere, felt a bit sorry for the guy when he was here. Hopefully he'll had a nightmare tonight but hope it works out for him long run.

Is Santos banned tonight?

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Subs: Same three kids as have been picked before, presumably indicating there's absolutely nobody else even close to 1dt Xi standard – especially as there's only three grown-ups (Gilks, Kacha, Delf) named. Santos rested altogether - hope he hasn't got a niggle.

Wonder if we'll go back three or Johnston will be in midfield? As I say, I'd try the back three tonight, practice patterns of play.

[officer_dibble]

Xav and Dapo playing together? Crellin in sticks. Take my money!

Good looker though

[Bertie Wooster]

Absolutely stupid and ridiculous decision (IMO) by Evatt to play such a strong team in such a shite, meaningless competition, if we pick up more injuries tonight he can't complain about a lack of numbers for league games moving forward.

Surely he should have rested Lee, Dapo, John, Doyle etc.

I really hope this doesn't come back to haunt Evatt.

Presumably no game on Saturday helps.

Lee - agreed, he’s my worry. Hopefully an hour max.
Dapo is a young lad and was suspended at the weekend.
John - he’s barely got going this season he should be OK
Doyle - just come back from an injury and needs a bit of game time…like Lee I hope he only needs an hour.

Baps is an odd one - that’s a hell of a recovery from what sounded like a serious injury v Wycombe.

[Bertie Wooster]

Dibs, personally I don't give a shite about if they are young, been suspended, or just come back from injury - with the amount of injuries we have and with league games being far more important to risk so many 1st team players in a meaningless game that most fans don't give a toss about (see crowd figures tonight) is bloody stupid.

He (Evatt) thinks he's been clever and hoodwinked Fleetwood by saying that he will make lots of changes & then only making two, to me he's been an absolute idiot and if any of those players get injured tonight and miss league games Evatt will deserve all of the stick that he will rightly get.

How does no game on Saturday make a difference, do our players only get injuries that last less than 7 days ?

He’ll win them the penalty shoot out and then run over to Evatt with his balls out to show him the man that he is.
