Tues1st Sep 2015, FLT Port Vale v Carlisle Utd, pre-match comments, the match itself

[Fosse69]

Surely our best hope of Wembley, but more importantly a chance to give game time to our recent recruits.

[Emile]

As mentioned before I think I'd rather us play the players who haven't got much game time and risk a fine. No doubt we wont do that so;

 

Alnwick

 

Purkiss

Streete

Innis

Dicko

 

Lloyd

McCourt

Grant

Birchall or Daniel

 

AJ

JJ

 

Give uche, Moore, Andoh, foley, Duffy and Dodds a rest

 

Try Streete with Innis for a game

Will we give Hooper a run out, we also have an international break next Saturday for a rest.

[Bucknall Rob]

No game after Tuesday for 11 days, think we should try and play a strong team. While the competition doesn't get going until the later rounds, its one that has give me some of the best times supporting Vale, Wembley 93, Cardiff 2001 and the Stoke games on route to the final.

 

I would go with;

 

Alnwick

 

Purkiss

Innis

Streete

McGivern

 

Moore

Grant

McCourt

Andoh

 

Uche

JJ

[JRC]

Agree if we had a league game Saturday after so many games in a short period then rest some players ... however they've got a big break now and they need to get the first loss out of the system.

I'd like to take this seriously as feel we could win this with no real heavyweights in it such as Bristol City or PNE. I'd like JJ to get a game and worth a look at McCourt

When did Wigan last win the FA Cup? Do not forget the Blades.

[Supervalefan1]

I think we will do well this season in the cup competitions. We managed to keep West brom out for 120 mins in the capital one cup. Also we could have some more revenue from cup games as well then maybe we could afford a decent goalscorer to fire us up the table. I would like us to give Mccourt and JJ some game time in this game. It is not worth signing players up if we are not going to let them play. A glimpse of Wembley could be on the cards for us... who knows. :).

[Andy Proctor]

I think your allowed make upto 5 changes to your teamm

[Little_Al]

Why don't we take the game really seriously and open the ground? I'm sure Carlisle will take it seriously as they have had success in the Capital One Cup. Start the first team barring ihjuries and maybe give McCourt and another striker a run out later if the position warrants it.

Ha ha,Andy proctor makes 2 identical posts, one gets a minus 1, the other gets a plus 1.

I didnt vote on either but if you look carefully they are not identical posts - he made a typo and missed a full stop of the first one.

Another funny regarding those two posts is that the No of Posts credited to Andy in the first is ...... 1,224 and in the second ....... 1,224.

 

Looks like OVF cant add - 1224 posts plus 1 more post = 1225 posts .

 

Last but not least - he appears to have a Please Donate on the first but not on the second - perhaps that got him the -1.

 

So all in all - they were not identical in several things

Well spotted on the 1224 point.
