Will our game against Leeds be moved? if we get through noticed the 5th round proper is on Wednesday 28th Feb.

Just to play devils advocate, you're implying that because we have a low chance of winning it there's little reason to be in it.

So why clamour to be in the Premier league?

I think we’re in for a hammering here. I can see Enzo making wholesale changes that will likely significantly weaken us. They will probably go full strength, and they’re actually a decent side and will be bang up for it. 

All depends on how we approach the game, it'll be a test but our rotated team is still capable of beating the majority of this league. I think it'll be a 3-2 win again.

Imagine we'd just be a Tuesday game instead of Wednesday.

Personally I'm not clamouring for us to be back in the circus!

Prefer the football in The Championship, don't miss the hype, VAR fiasco and the ridiculous biase towards the money clubs all of which has made watching PL football boring and predictable.

Same, however finishing top 2 and then going back to attempting it again and again will quickly lose enthusiasm IMO.

 

Plus the brutal nature of maintaining a quality squad at this level requires a business model we don't currently have. We need to be out of this league as quickly as possible, whether we thrn come back down again soon where we have to be more sustainable longer term is another matter.

I just hope Enzo takes the Bass Shield seriously next pre-season.

Personally hate the premier league and all it stands for.  Bias, for the big 6, Var and all its faults, pundits invariably talking shite.  However, it is a sad state of affairs that you do have to be part of it cos thats where all the money is.

[FoxinNotts]

I see Alves has been training with the first team on the photos

Yes, you're absolutely right of course.

If we do return to the circus it's going to be very bittersweet.

Look at the likes of West Ham and Aston Villa , if we get our house in order we could be challenging the top end obviously it’s a long way off but that should be the aim to get back to the top 6.

This on TV anywhere? I watched the Millwall game live on Bet365 weirdly.

It's on 2 channels worldwide so it'll be accessible

Looking forward to this. Hoping to see Nelson and Coady play and for Vardy to get a start, with maybe Kevin whipping some crosses into him like the old days.  Alves training - will we see him on the bench at least?

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Looking forward to this now actually. Bit less pressure than the league games, see some fringe players and hopefully some fresh faces in SK1. 

[Claudio Fannieri]

Would love to see Will Alves involved in this game.

Is there a press conference this afternoon?
