CB Fry Posted 12 November, 2022 Share Posted 12 November, 2022 Hopefully the Liverpool game has given Jones plenty to think about. I am sure Jones will treat this as an opportunity to get a decent strength team out and try some things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham have Cambridge and Fulham away scheduled, noticed Leeds playing Real Sociedad, but there are B team games as well during the world Cup with opportunities to give a few a run out like we did recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 12 November, 2022 Share Posted 12 November, 2022 I'm sure we will have some friendlies. Going to be plenty of clubs with a load of players kicking about doing nothing. Could arrange a Nathan Jones derby with Luton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 13 November, 2022 Share Posted 13 November, 2022 If we can get to the semi-finals by beating the remaining L1 sides in the competition it'll be some sort of achievement. However, it may be a good move to play some of those B team teenagers, who seem to have little trouble in finding the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon there might be some deviants on here who would take relegation with no silver lining at all. For me, the number one reason to ensure survival for next season is to ensure a decent chance of cup progression - reaching a final and knowing you can actually win it outright on merit as opposed to sheer luck. The higher we can finish up the league, the better our chances. Honourable mention to Poch and Koeman for trashing this belief, but of course it depends a lot on the team's attitude as well. You can't realistically expect to challenge for silverware in a lower division, but as a top 10 PL side, there can be cause for optimism of carrying good form into the cups.

Still basking in the glory of a famous FA Cup win that everyone remembers. Winning the cup and getting relegated doesn't mean that you have to end up in League 1.

Badger Posted 27 November, 2022 Share Posted 27 November, 2022 I think Birmingham were the last club to win the league Cup (in whatever name it was at the time) and then be relegated the same season.

Lincoln have sold 1,300 of their 1,600 allocation so far, they had a discounted deal on for a travel/ticket combo which has ended so sales may slow a bit now. Home tickets aren't exactly flying off the shelf, bit surprised as first game back and Jones' introduction. Probably be a last minute rush, particularly if England continue to do well.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 6 December, 2022 Share Posted 6 December, 2022 Just went online. Looks like a decent wedge have sold already. I imagine they’ll be 20,000 or so there given that it’ll be Nathan Jones first game and I think by this time a lot of people would’ve missed club football!

Top stuff from Lincoln there, midweek before Christmas, long awkward journey, hopefully they bring the 1600. In the last round Sheff Wed had 2400 and we had just over 20k in total attendance, reckon might be a bit higher for this one with it being school holidays and Jones first game as usual for this sort of game loads will be in few days running up to the game as they know it won't sell out. Bit mad Saints will have had a 6 week break whereas in the same time Lincoln have played regularly, not sure if that helps us or them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamesaint Posted 12 December, 2022 Share Posted 12 December, 2022 I don't believe it. The week before Christmas is when people are trying to arrange get togethers with friends and family.The club are not helping. BBC originally showed this match as being played on Tuesday so I arranged a Wednesday "Christmas curry". When the match was announced on the Wednesday I managed to get my mates to move our get together to the Tuesday. Now we are back to a match on the Tuesday.

alehouseboys Posted 13 December, 2022 Share Posted 13 December, 2022 I can understand the reasoning behind this rearrangement yet 4 other EFL Cup ties scheduled for the Wednesday appear to be still going ahead as planned. And I believe there’s also a nurses strike set for the Tuesday so that could pose its own similar issues. I can make Tuesday or Wednesday so little upheaval for me, but a right ballsache for those travelling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100%Red&White Posted 13 December, 2022 Share Posted 13 December, 2022 Looks like Newcastle have now change their tie with Bournemouth from Wed to Tues, not been updated yet on the BBC fixtures. So those travelling around the country on the Tuesday now will be OK for an ambulance turning up in the unfortunate event of a traffic accident - but no nurses at the hospital once they get there!
