Anyone think we'll win? I'm not happy Backe is going to experiment. Then he says he wants to get to the 3rd round.

He will probably play Hamshaw and Facey.

Hamshaw yes , not sure about Facey though. I think it may be from Ravenhill, Clapham, Akinbiyi and Hawley in the frame for the other slots.

Am I paying to watch him piddle about with the team ? I guess he wants to find out whose good and who isn't. To them the FA Cup is a distraction and I think I agree. Wish I'd thought about that before I bought the tickets though.

Attendance figure should be interesting - any predictions 'M64? Foxie?

Am I paying to watch him piddle about with the team ? Well in some ways yes JP but also paying to watch them get through to the next round so I dont know what more we can expect. Anyway the fact that Charlie never did change things was one of your big complaints before.

Well my fear was that he would play a second team. In the end, having heard him interviewed before the game, I was happy with what he was trying to do i.e. see players he hadn't seen before.Yes, as you say though, what we might consider to be second choices got a result against a full strength Bradford side and even I can't complain about that. Bradford were s%$£^ though.

It goes to show that we do now have some depth to our squad which you have to credit to Charlie. In regard to Bradford yes they were s%$£^. However over the past couple of years we have been turned over by s%$£^ teams on more than one occasion, something else that you can "credit" Charlie with.

Ive previously acknowledged, on several occasions, that Charlie got a good squad together but couldn't manage them properly. I even think last seasons squad was not as bad as it was supposed to be - look at the start we made. I am relieved that he's gone though and we appear, at first glance, to have someone in who knows the rudiments of the game.

Would have preferred not to get Bournemouth but I am not sure if their fans will view this with more tredpidation than us.

Its a big ask to go away there and win but they are not unbeatable and it may be a good psychololgical test as to whether we belong up there.

It will be a good test before the Camera's come from Sky Sports in Dec against the same team.
