On the strikers, the only thing in their defence is that, if you are going to fanny around at the back for 5 minutes before trying to get it to them, don’t be surprised if the opposition has organised themselves enough to make the strikers' lives very difficult indeed. Doesn’t mean I think either of them have been anything other than disappointing, mind.
MK Dons boss Manning revels in his young side's cup win | Watford Observer Manning fielded FIVE 19 year olds in his team last night. So, not only were we playing a struggling MK Dons, it was a makeshift side. It makes our performance even worse when you consider this.
Except he's not a "genuine academy prospect" at all - we signed him at the age of 19 after he was released by Crystal Palace, where he had been since the age of 9.
Considering his best player at Forest Green can't even get a start in his natural RWB position at Bristol City ahead of a 19 year-old central midfielder then I doubt that.
Except the whole draw would have been different if we were in it in place of Franchise FC so we wouldn’t have been drawn against Morecambe.
If we'd got through instead of McDons, I think we'd have been ball No.26, meaning we'd have got Forest away.
