I’d probably look to give CMG 20 mins at the end vs Harrogate and then start him on Tuesday. No need for anyone to start both games.

All just so long as we don't get above ourselves and underestimate the opposition. Losing in the Cup could upset momentum and confidence for the League. Full bore for a win every game whoever we choose to get it.

Shame, the thought of freezing nads at 2nd Rd FA Cup match is not a very appealing one, right now!
Re: A whiff of Sulphur. Home to Harrogate Town, Sat Dec 2nd 3'O clock. F. A. Cup.
Bit ridiculous that in this day and age that they can't even forsee an international appeal for things like this. Surely they must know the fans go on holiday.
If they're worried that it'll stop fans turning up to watch games then they should make the ticket prices cheaper than the online in order to get fans into the stadium.
Now there will be a whole host of fans not going due to the freezing temperatures. Certainly puts off a select few families who are concerned about having their kids sat in the cold for a good two and a half hours.

No Matheson. Injured.
Re: A whiff of Sulphur. Home to Harrogate Town, Sat Dec 2nd 3'O clock. F. A. Cup.
No Jerome either.
Perhaps Evatt's looking at this as a potential banana skin like we had against Stockport.
Baxter
Jones, Santos, Forrester, Iredale Williams
CMG, Morley, Dempsey
Nlundulu, Bodvarsson
Bench: Coleman, Toal, Ashworth, JDC, Sheehan, Thomason, Maghoma, Adeboyejo, Charles.
Strong line up with a strong bench. I'd imagine it's a case of keeping the run of decent form going.
Still, if there was any game I would've thought Jerome would've been on the bench i'd've thought it would be this one.

Maybe we're starting to see Jerome fading from the first-team picture? I mean he might get minutes on Tuesday and perhaps when CMG is away but we now have a stong competitive squad.
I make it we have 21 senior pros (including Ashworth but excluding Matheson, whom Evatt has said is in a sort of halfway state between the Bs and firsts). So someone has to miss out on every matchday squad, even in the FA Cup with 9 subs. Jerome has now missed the cut twice (at Oxford the 7-man bench also didn't include Williams and Ashworth).

I think it's only right that Jerome's fading from the first team picture. I get the impression he was brought into help the other strikers in terms of coaching and provide cover whilst JDB was injured. Now JDB is back and the other strikers are firing it would make sense. However, I still have him as a first team player and these are exactly the sort of matches that I think he would be able to get plenty of time up front to be able to contribute from a goalscoring perspective.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 2:23 pmMaybe we're starting to see Jerome fading from the first-team picture?

Maybe Jerome is going to become part of the coaching setup as per Gilks' career path. Time will tell I guess.

Yeah, entirely possible, Mar. Jerome's playing contract is up in summer and he was brought in with coaching in mind, as well as being an elder statesman setting a good example off the field.
It is indeed a strong line-up today but that's also about the strength of the back-ups. Look at who's not starting and conduct a thought experiment of who would play Tuesday if Evatt made 11 changes (which he won't). That'd be our first-choice front two, our recent first-choice midfield trio, plus Dacres-Cogley who's currently a first-team cert and Toal who would surely be in most fans' first-choice XI.
I very much doubt he will go so 'first-choice' strong on Tuesday, which is why I expected a more mix-and-match XI today (and its mirror on Tuesday). Maybe he's going to give that midfield trio and front two another start on Tuesday (maybe adding Coleman, Ashworth and Matheson if fit) and manage the minutes ove the two games judiciously with substitutions.

I know its all eyes on the FA cup today. But there is a football game on in League One today. Northampton vs. Portsmouth.
So we could very well be dethroned from top spot today, come on Northampton I guess.

Well I've made an early brew on this very cold day so here's to the Whites doing a professional job.

1-0 JDB, assisted by sonic's kettle.
Hopefully another battering is on the cards. Fingers crossed.

All very well but Pompey are winning at Northampton on the league so we're not top any more #EvattOut
