Swindon v Exeter EFL Trophy

[Nemo]

More interested than usual in this game, considering we actually have a squad full of players for a change to see. It's not a high bar though.

Something like:


              Barden
      Hart Minturn Freckleton
Cox                              McGregor
      Ofoborh Cain Mitchell
          Tshimanga Drinan


Perhaps? That would still leave Brown, Uwakwe (he's still here right?), Kirkman and Redman Evans of the non-regulars. Maybe Butterworth starts, not sure.

Seems very unlikely to be a Reading style U18 team, maybe Botan Ameen makes the bench.

[Posh Red]

I was told by someone that Cox is injured and won’t be fit for several week so think Kirkman might play in his place, but that lineup would make a lot of sense

[Peter Venkman]

Tempted to go to this even though I don't like the format of the tournament but its only 25 miles from me and its cheap, so weather dependant I may well go.

Would be nice to see the new lads get game time.

Fully expect a very changed side like maybe.

              Barden
      Hart Minturn Freckleton(Sobowale)
McGregor                         Cox(if fit or Kirkman)
      Ofoborh Cain Mitchell
          Butterworth Drinan

Cox is at least a month away from being fit, not sure that its injury but more lack of training/preseason.

It wouold be unlike us to get someone in who is injured or unfit.

Delaney and McGurk fit

Longelo seeing a specialist

Cox awaiting international clearance

Would be good for Delaney and McGurk to get at least some game time under their belts in a nothing game.

[Boydy]

As always, the only thing I care about it none of the first teamers getting injured.

So if the likes of Minturn, Mitchell, Kirkman, McGregor can start I'd be very happy.

My stab at a probable STFC XI for tonight below... if Delaney/McGurk are in fact ready to come back, that would handy.

GK - Barden

RCB - Minturn
CB - Hart
LCB - Delaney? / Freckleton

LWB - Kirkman
RWB - McGregor

CM - Ofoborh
CM - Cain
AM - Butterworth

FOR - Drinan
FOR - Tshimanga

Off the bench - Mitchell, Jaxon Brown, McGurk?


It's actually a relatively strong top end of the pitch, be nice to see them staking claims to start at Barrow. Here's hoping! I'll be streaming the game, then podcasting with Rich P on LSPod afterwards.

A comp ruined...but we all know that...shame, i might of popped up tonight. As it is, i keep my pledge of not attending any of these games in person.

I hope nobody gets injured...

I hope some margin players get a run out..

I hope we can get a win...i think after Saturday everyone needs a lift, if a little small. Scrappy OGs will do....

Can you get these games on the box? (of any kind).

Are you in Exeter then? 

[Posh Red]

I’d be tempted to put Ameen on the bench, to get him 15/20 mins of first team(ish) football.

As for Delaney & McGurk, I guess it depends how much time they want to give them, 30/45/60 mins.
