Once, just for once, I'd like to see us cruise to a convincing, easy win in a Cup game.
Every year it's the same thing -- 'oh, that lineup should win easily!' -- and then we scrape through in extra time, or (more often) we lose, against an opponent 1 or 2 divisions lower than us.

It serves as our regular reminder that football is about more than showing up with 11 talented individual players. Unless they work as a team, have been prepared as a unit, they're going to be vulnerable against a side even a couple of divisions lower.

...would prefer the easier draw of Stains at St Mary's tbh

cant wait... our 'B team' is at a good championship level in my opinion so should beat burton. for me the team would be Travers in goal, a back 4 of Franno, Meps, Simpson and Kelly, a midfield of Surman, cook, ibe, danjuma and kilkenny and an attack of solanke. 4231

I think Fraser might get a start, not started in our games against Everton and Saints.

Good chance or at least on bench. A large squad means we need these cup games so hope we don’t slip up.

Just realised that Burton reached the semi-final last year, knocking out Burnley Villa, Forest. This could be very tricky.

These games are always about Team Effort.....for both the sides ...knockout football.....the team effort is rarely missing from the lower league sides....so...
Colchester tonight.....another team tomorrow.....beware Boscombe at Burton!

Danjuma already put out there that he is looking forward to the game on Wednesday (hopefully playing)

Looking at the pictures the club have posted of the team arriving up there, we have Lloyd Kelly, Franno, Solanke, Surman, and Mepham all involved.

Should be a fairly strong line up tonight and will be good to see a couple of the new faces. As long we don't underestimate them we should be fine. Look at Spurs last night. We say it every year but it would be fantastic to take the opportunity of getting to a semi final.

The twitter account also posted a video featuring players who could be "staking their claim" or words to that effect, featuring players like Mepham and Travers, but also Fraser. Might be saying Fraser starting this game possibly??
