PVFC61 41 13 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) After a terrible run two league wins 0-1 at Exeter and 3-2 at home to Wigan (Previously unbeaten in 9 league games), has come just in time for this one..... One of our better players got a hatrick v Wigan and is flying ATM.... In between those however we lost 4-3 on pens v Stevenage in the FA cup so I'm dreading a draw after 90 minutes TBH...... I give the vale a 25% chance of winning this one in 90 minutes, hopefully MORE if you rest up half a dozen, AS any responsible manager should be doing from the league above....😁😁🍺🍺 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Greenwood is cuptied though, which is good news for your lot. Honestly the biggest advantage you have is Glover being in goal for us. He can't play out from the back which is how we play with Dieng in goal and he's not a particularly good shot stopper either! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernSmoggie 5,306 7k Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I'd say go first choice but as everyone has pointed out, we don't have much to choose from anyway. The team mostly picks itself. Glover is a worry for this game and league games too. He looks shaky and hardly comes with a glowing reputation. Dieng bails us out quite a lot. Hopefully a front four of Jones, Lath, Rogers and Silvera will be able to cause problems for Vale. Plenty of pace there if we can use it well.

Redcar Rioja 9,035 8.8k Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 With our injuries I'd be inclined to switch to a 352 formation but I now Carrick wouldn't countenance such a departure from his wedded formation. I guess roll-call this morning will determine who is fit and who isn't, hopefully there will be enough to pull together 11 starters plus 4 or 5 Subs with some experience then the kids to fill up the bench.

How are there not tv rights for all quarter finals I believe they're all being shown on DAZN in some region or another so their will be a dodgy stream available at least.

DurhamRed 2,360 5k Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) I know tv rights will change for the better next season and all these league cup games will be on sky redbutton. But it is mad how all 4 quatre finals aren't available on UK TV this year and Boro must be banned from offering on ifollow. I don't like using links from the dark web but they is no other choice. We are on tv in so many countries from Syria to Zimbabwe but in England are we no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opera Browser works very well as a Browser (it's the one I use as my main Browser) and it has a free VPN built into it which works pretty well on most occasions. The Free VPN just has options of Optimal, Europe, Asia and Americas. It's random so you could be in Sweden. Switzerland, Netherlands or Germany for example if "in Europe". One thing I have noticed however is that if the VPN is set to "Optimal" it sometimes suffers from a lot of buffering but setting it to "Europe" seems to alleviate that issue. Some of the streaming sites don't run well with ad blocker but if it's a decent quality stream I just turn off for the duration of the game, ads don't pop up on the actual match coverage just around the area of the page outside the video frame so just put it to full screen mode (which is pretty much what most of us would do anyway) and you don't see them or hear them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think after what we seen from akpom last season people would give players more chances to prove them wrong. Seen someone on here yesterday criticising him because he took a while getting ready to come on at the weekend 😂 I think it's because he's looked a little error prone so far, and has obviously only played a limited amount of football so there's not a lot else to go on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
