Oh boy, one of those ‘on paper we should breeze this’ games. But as has been said, they’re on good form and will want to be the Prem team beaters. If Ralph has been able to get through to the youngsters...been able to drill the forwards...we should be too much, but there’s no guarantees in the Cup. The gulf is not as great as some might believe. 2-1 Saints but a really tough game.

Remember when we, a team too strong for league one, got dicked by Pompey, a team struggling in the Prem? 

Shrewsbury haven't trained for a fortnight I believe, we should be looking to win this by 4+ goals.

I think his point is that we've got half a season still to go, 9 players out, and no money, thus Europe looks unlikely now. 

My point was how good I think our best team is. Could beat anyone on their day

We should have enough to beat them but Shrewsbury are fielding their first team and League One first teams usually beat Premier League U23 teams, including ours,  in the FA Trophy so, I agree with you, it won't be easy. I'm looking forward to seeing what Kegs Chauke can do especially. My main concerns are Valery and Long but hopefully they will surprise me against this level of opposition.

Good to see the mix of strength and youth we were hoping for, notably the defensive spine - Bednarek/Stephens and Diallo/JWP - remains. I'm a little surprised to see Chauke and Watts in the 10s over some of the more established youngsters - anybody know anything about either of them?

Long is always my main concern. Stealing a living. His contract extension defies belief given that we haven't got a pot to piss in

Starting to see what they mean about Nlundulu’s first touch. It’s really bad!

Haha was just thinking this - I remember seeing someone got him a first touch practice board for Secret Santa, I can see why!

Excellent HD stream on www.hesgoal.com

Seems to be a choice of either Spanish or Chinese.  But great stream anyway if not fussed about commentary.

But slow there, trousers. In other news, Watts looks decent.

very half arsed game so far 

One suspects we're under orders from Ralph not to get out of second gear if we don't have to

The Jam:

“Wish I could be like Caleb Watts

La la la la la, la la la”

Anyone got a song for Kegs or N’lundulu? 

 

 

 

Probably 

“His name is Kegs Chauke

He really hates Pompey”

The team sheet has Shame Long on it,is he playing as no mention of him in the Solent commentary yet.

Sadly, a fair point. He's been absolutely invisible

Shaky spell.

Our fullbacks are so high up that one ball out wide is letting them get forward a long way, and our pressing is only encouraging the long balls out wide.

Vokins corners are possibly the least threatening I have ever seen.
