MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (a)

[RoyalBlue]

Thought Brown was generally anonymous, only knew he was playing as he managed to score, but then if he can continue like that I’d take it!

I'd like to see the stats, because I thought he was getting quite a few flick-ons and generally making a nuisance of himself.

Also played a lovely clever ball through to Lisbie to set him free to set up the 3rd goal for Williams.

Useful backup player and will chip in with a few goals but IMO will never be a target man and main striker. If Marriott gets injured and all we are left with is Brown, then we can probably wave this season goodbye.

Only Arsenal and Villa have been drawn away in the pre-draw, we`re off to Anfield.

The main draw doesn’t happen until after the Preston/Everton game (about 10pm depending on penalties or not) so Reading could still be going anywhere - or not).

I know, it was just a prediction, which I`m rubbish at, we`re going to Lincoln instead.

I’m going to predict a game against Hull or the winners of Bradford v Burnley.

Fully anticipating Middlesbrough away.

Mr Vegas can't be happy with their logo on this shirt. It's invisible on TV until you get a close up.

It was invisible at the match too

Anyone else get pissed off by the flickering advertising hooarding going off like a camera flash?

Yeah. Once again, these boards were overly bright (imo) and the flickering was annoying.

Fully anticipating Middlesbrough away.

would be delighted with Newcastle away…another great excuse to hit up a short break on the NE coast.

[Sutekh]

Easy wins for Spurs and Everton tonight. Bradford still a viable option after dumping Burnley out on penalties.

Home to Brentford

They won 6-1 at Brum yesterday so likely to be a hiding to nothing. Hardly think the draw is going to set the passions rolling either but expect there’ll be a very decent away following so should still get a decent crowd.

The Brentford game will be w/c 14 Sep, no?

Why should it be?

Only teams in Europe play a week later.

Assuming ticket prices aren't insane (probably ~£15 for adults), they'll probably sell their 3,000 allocation. Can't imagine we'll have more than 10,000 home fans though. Will be similar to when we played Watford a few years back when they were in the Premier League.

No, think it would be if they were Europa League but they’re just normal PL so should mean it gets played w/c 7 Sep so the trip to Ox will probably be shifted back a week. Anyway sure it will all be confirmed by the club in the next day or two.

Don`t see why we can`t shift the bees game rather than Oxford. there`s carabao cup games the following week anyway so why not one more?
