I reckon Charles might play RB

Happy enough with that team, though I’m surprised we’re seeing Downes play. Him and Smallbone should ensure we control the game (famous last words …) so hopefully a good win.

My only gripe is why bother playing Mara wide - it’s not his thing, so why try it again?

[captainchris]

Dibling in front of Amo???? Weird.

Mara in the left again - he hasn’t played well there yet???

Watford fans in their replies saying they've gone full strength.

Looking at their appearances this season, and player ratings looks like they are taking this marginally less serious than us, about half of their best 11

[Badger]

I wouldn’t have risked Downes tonight. 

[igsey]

If I didn't know better... I'd say that looks like a back 3.

Very surprised. Fairly decent line up, Matt Gill must really want to get his Dad that ticket for Anfield

 

[OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint]

Be interesting to see what RM does if we get through. Will it be another 'B' team?

and why not. £120,000 for winning this fourth round tie. Maybe £480,000 as the share of the gate receipts from Anfield, plus another £100,000 for the TV money...

[charliemiller]

first row sports have links listed ....not sure if the streams are going to be available 

 

[East Kent Saint]

McCarthy on the bench , start of a comeback ?

Good players.

[gio1saints]

Tyler Dibling was the answer to the pre match quiz. Hth.Wesley Hoedt and jo Rothwell the next two. Hth aswell the n Stuey. All tough questions.

Doesn’t look like any streams tonight.

[macca155]

Clearly gone for strength in midfield. Could even be a 3 4 3 tonight.

Hope Dibling has a good game, a good opportunity for him.

Fimd out in 15 minutes.

1-1 match result.

Pens could go either way.

[Bad Wolf]

Any joy with a stream, anyone?

[trousers]

Charles defo at right back

[Polaroid Saint]

That's a 3:5:2 on paper. Which confuses me. As we haven't played that ever.

Be pretty amazing if we went out and tried it. Fun

 

Wonder what we will actually do.

 

[gio1saints]

Charles at RB…

[gio1saints]

05.55. Not a smooth start. Clumsy fouls. Not in our rhythm yet

Looks like it’s not being broadcast anywhere, same for Cov vs Sheff Weds. Shame. 
 

I’ve resorted to watching the Leeds game 

[gio1saints]

Dibbles twice got loose on the RW…good lad 

[Bad Wolf]

Dibling sounds lively!

Mara should've scored from Dibling cross by the sounds of it

Yeah I'm watching hoping the plymouth players go in hard for every challenge

[GrumpyYorkshireSaint]

Spent all day listening to Leeds fans in the office now I find myself having to watch them. From an abundance of cameras at every match to picking only match to televise. Wonder who though this plan up

[gio1saints]

15-35. Dibling runs at them again again… Rothwell diwn injured. Saints players dribbling lot more than usual.

Does anyone really care if we win this anyway?

[hypochondriac]

At the game. Stadium announcer says "Mr Saint has left the stadium" which I assume is a code of some kind. Would be interesting to know what it was.

I'd like to see us win, because I'd like to see us against Liverpool, and I'd like to see us extend this unbeaten streak.
