EFL Trophy THE DEADLY Submarine Rovers v Sunderland

[bring back the cowshed!]

'2020' final won by Salford on penalties. Urgh.

Poor Salford. They will only be holders of the trophy for 24 hours.

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

There is a gulf between Leagues One and Two, but we have a squad largely comprised of League One standard players, which the Talk Sport divs don't seem to realise.

Not much of a gulf between League Two Salford and League One Portsmouth. Normally, I'd agree. But cup-ties are often different.

Not much of a gulf between League Two Salford and League One Portsmouth. Normally, I'd agree. But cup-ties are often different.

I think our experience in the 2019-20 season suggests there definitely is a gulf. However, our current squad is actually much stronger than the one we assembled in the summer of 2019, which is the point I was really making.

There are a number of League One quality players in our squad and there is no reason why we can't compete with a League One team, as our cup results this season have already demonstrated.

We are the underdogs so the pressure is off. I hope the lads enjoy it and who knows! We are definitely due a win against them.

 

[aldoes mustache]

we should lose either way I am proud of little Tranmere listening to their fans they are saying 100% they are going to thrash us and they will be wanting revenge for a sending off from 20 years back,the beers are in the chiller can,t wait

 

[Sparky]

Loving watching all the YT videos, some great interviews with the likes of Jeff Hughes and Connor Jennings.

I thought I’d be less bothered not being at Wembley but starting to feel the butterflies now!!

 

[aldoes mustache]

we have set a den up behind the couch for when its squeaky bum time lol

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

This really is a bonus none of us ever expected. So let’s just enjoy it, come what may.

Vaughan walking unaided in the Wembley footage and Kahn appears to have his boots with him.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Full strength team. Clarke, Kahn, Spearing and Feeney all start.

 

[Ian]

Excellent.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

O'Connor misses out completely due to injury, which is a shame for him.

 

[aldoes mustache]

really happy with that all is good

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Feel sorry for those who miss out but no matter what happens, I expect we’ll use a few subs.

 

[Boz]

Risky playing all our available senior pros, fingers crossed that nobody picks up an injury. Good that Khan is fit again, but a shame about O’Connor’s injury

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Remind me. Which is the League One team?

 

[Chris Johnston]

Who is the commentary team?

 

[Sparky]

Good half from the rovers and with a proper centre forward on the pitch I think we’d be in front. Keep it going lads and the goal will come

 

[Sparky]

Who is the commentary team?

Lee Hendrie is the co commentator, not sure about the other guy

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

We have been the better side. Great shape and some lovely attacking play. As Sparky says, with Vaughan on the pitch we would be ahead. Hope we keep it going.
