We won’t get a biggest crowd of year but to suggest it’s not a fairly big game is bollocks imo. we can’t win anyway as has already been said, if we get 20/25k its shite and embarasssing that we can only sell that for a game against you. If we sold 40k plus it’s embarassig against your under 21s. Personally I couldn’t care less, I hope we win but I would play a similar side (maybe slightly stronger than recent rounds) with half first teamers and half our young lads.

Ross will put out a team to win the game, as usual. He may need a few more of his first choices for this game.

Agreed and that’s what I would do aswell. Bring in 5 or 6 of the fringe players, probably something like ruiter, ozturk, mumba, mcgeough, watmore and Kinpioka to come in

I'm not a betting man but we'll be huge favourites to beat your kids because we have a big squad for league 1. We have several players not currently starting games who are of a similar standard to those that are in the first team.

We have an England under 20 player who has had to go on loan to Grimsby because he couldn't get on the bench for us.

We should smash your kids, they'll be no excuse if we don't whichever side we play.

Nah but they would have an open top bus if the U23s beat our first team.


We will get promoted and we have a chance of winning this cup. You struggled against a shit team last round only just got through on penalties. What makes you think you will do anything against a better side.

Whose you?

In terms of the actual game itself. Who would be favourites ? I’m guessing Sunderland as it’s their first team and they’re at home, but is there much difference in actual standard ? Does a third tier clubs first team equate to a premier league clubs under 23s ? I’ve no idea to be honest. I presume that it must be fairly even if they let premier league reserves play ?

But it's not is it?
 
I can't wait to win 7 in a row, it will still count even though it's not their first team and the last time we played them it was a draw anyway

We’ll take less than 1000 on a crowd of no more than 25k.
There’s no way any self respecting SAFC fan can see a reserve game ( for us ) as a big game. You surely havnt got that low where you now see our under 23s as your rivals ??

Can you remember Lee Ryders reports in the Chronicle after you beat us in the last meaningless derby - think it might have been the u18s?

Officially it's SAFC 1st team vs NUFC under 21s. That is fact.

The fact is you won't be playing our first team. Sorry like.
