Yep, your correct.
We could well end up playing Sunday-Tuesday, again. Hull match is at 4 on Sunday 26th. Then in the League Cup, our match and Woolwich's match won't be played on the same night - one will be Tues 28th, the other Weds 29th. Chelsea play City at 4 on the 26th too - either way one of us is going to have a very short gap between matches. Imagine it'll probably be us again, given the high profile nature of Chelsea's two matches
at least hull save money on hotels and travel
Their youth and side players, not many full squad members.
Still some first teamers
I don't care what you reasonable fuckers say, I want to see Woolwich lose every game.
Less of a problem this time around since we're playing Hull in both matches. In fact it will be murder on them rather than us as they will have to travel down for the Sunday and then have to decide to stick around until the Tuesday without any real training or travel back straight after the game Sunday and back down again Tuesday morning. We can comfortably field two different sides in those games and don't play again until Everton away the following Sunday.
Hull at home is a great draw! COYS!
As knackered as we were at Villa....?
we didn't. (basel)
We only played 90 minutes and had dropped a gear after about 75 minutes.
If Hull use their heads they will book some private training facilities and just stay local. Plenty of banks have sports facilities, there are civil service grounds and so on.(when they were in the premiership, Wimbledons training ground was a school owned sports field off the A3 called Richardson Evans. It wasnt even fenced off from the roads.) That way they can have a light training session on the monday.
Does that constitute double-clutching or double-shifting?
I just dont think it will effect them seeing as 90% of their team were reserves..
Fair enough.
Yea, but there is no way Wenger will play last night's team in the next round. Chelski would rip them a new arse. Which means Pedo man will have to play a near full strength team and hopefully many injuries. Fingers crossed.
This weeks League Cup (I'll only revert to Capital One Cup should Woolwich win it) has gone some way to showing the depth in strength at Chelsea, City and ourselves - each of the staring XI of those teams are capable of winning the tournament, whilst it is fair to say that more than half of each team won't be starting this weekend.
