Chaddy_Ender Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) If none of us turned up for this stupid competition they'd stop it. Simple. I enjoy it its a chance for fringe players to stake their claim and could even provide an oppurtunity to visit wembley.

disjointed Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 If none of us turned up for this stupid competition they'd stop it. Simple. Gives players like Bove a chance of competitive game time, cheap entry, I know you don't go to these games, but some of us quite enjoy this competition for what it is.

Me included, gives us a real opportunity to actually compete in a cup competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. No complaints from me. And if we get knocked out in the early stages we can always fall back on the "it's a tin pot competition anyway" excuse.

rosa Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Mock all you want, Harry. You'll be sorry when Bove scores a hat trick then two-foots Danny Wilson and you miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Im sure LJ will play his strongest available team. I expect him to give one or two fringe players a game - Dieng through necessity, but also a start for Amari and some game time for Tidser and Turner.

oldhamoafc Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Is expect Dieng, Dayton, Morgan Smith, brown and Turner to all feature, if not starting then off the bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 The JPT are like the Tesco yellow sticker food items stacked scruffily on a shelf. I get to sample it a bit cheaply, and it's never quite as good as normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman Matt Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Haven't the rules been changed where teams are not allowed to make wholesale changes now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Im sure you would go if we got go the area final then wembley Wembley maybe. The last area final is the only game I've ever been to in this competition so I won't risk that again. I still think it would be a bit weird & grim rattling sat in a half empty Wembley.

rudemedic Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Haven't the rules been changed where teams are not allowed to make wholesale changes now? Yes but wholesale changes doesn't mean Dieng, Dayton, AMS, Bove and Turner can't all feature. Dieng won't even count as he is almost certainly playing against Walsall due to Kusunga's international call-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Every round this happens, "It is a chance to go to Wembley!" If you want to go to Wembley that much then go, I'm sure they do guided tours, I bet they even run conferences and "away days" there too. "Its a chance to win something!" - This is like winning a worst shirt on a stag do, would be funny at the time but once you get to the second bar you're already regretting it. There is never going to be a situation where the line "We won the JPT in 2015" will be a good thing to say. Even to United fans. Or to fans of a non-league side. We don't even kick up any fuss that the club don't even open all the stands anymore, if they cut the prices further they will have to start paying the fans to go to the bloody games.

TheBigDog Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Some of us have seen Latics twice at the old Wembley - many of the younger generation will probably never get the chance to see Latics play in the new Wembley in one of the main cup competitions, so the JPT is still a valid option in my view. Football aside, it would be a top day out at a magnificent stadium. It's not about bragging rights at all - we all know that this tournament is a second class journey but the destination is still worth reaching. And I believe that the players would back that view.

You get to try watching a player or two you wouldn't have paid full price to see but ultimately realise why they needed reducing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
