    vs. Reading

    Anyone else going tonight?

    It's an interesting one, as if we win we're in the last 16, where it all gets a bit interesting.

    I think we'll rotate the squad, but keep enough quality on the pitch to go for the win.

    My prediction for the starting XI:

    Grant

    Shotton-Keogh-Whitbread-Forsyth

    Mascarell
    Bryson-Hughes

    Russell-Ibe

    Best

    I think we'll win

    of course ma horse, i'll be there. great price put on from the club. my step brother who loves the football can never afford to go to league matches, so it gets people like him into the stadium and enjoying supporting his local team.

    as regard to the team I think you've called it. I'd also expect an appearance from calero too at some point and probably banjuku depending on how the game's going.

    Hard to call. We really don't know what managers make of cup runs

    I am making the trip down from Cheshire tonight.

    I think Martin will play tonight, just to get him on the goal hunt. Masheral is also likely to start to test him against Championship players - is he ready for the challenge?

    Hopefully Ibe will be a starter rather than just save him for Saturday

    We need to sort out this holding mid role so that the opposition midfielders dont keep getting a free run at our defence. Give Mascarell a run or something cause Eustace is not up to it.

    I thought Eustace played well on Saturday, having said that he probably does need a rest so would expect a change for tonight.

    Yes, he is too slow. When teams hit us on the break he can't get back quick enough and we end up with a huge gap between midfield and defence. The guy is just too old and slow.

    Mascarell will take his place sooner or later so may as well get him in today, which we have done.
