That lineup would be pretty entertaining. Looking forward to it. But might have to be on the laptop on a hard dining room chair. Mrs micra indulged me yesterday evening with a couple of reasonably brief visits to the Leicester v Spurs match !
I do indeed, sir, but mine is over 12 years old, battery’s kaput and it has to be left permanently plugged in to the mains in the dining room.
Re the Sky+ coverage, how come the US Open or something is scheduled to start at 9pm whilst the matches are still being played? It is a 7.45 pm kickoff isn’t it?
Sky Sports+ offers a main channel with a primary broadcast, and pressing the red button on your remote reveals additional sub-channels. These sub-channels operate independently, so they won’t be disrupted by the main channel's content. I must admit, I’m not entirely clear on how this works via the app on laptops. And yes, the kick-off is at 7:45.
Strong lineup! Looking forward to seeing Skura and Bartolo (who can play as a striker according to Udoh). Would be intrigued to see Dotse if he comes on too.
I'm surprised that this competition hasn't been moved to a pre-season tournament like the Scottish league cup, everything about it feels a bit pre-season at this point. Guess the PL U21 sides are all on far flung tours at that point though
You can tell there is a bit of awe in the Wimbledon crowd - they know they are playing the 23/24 runners up of this competition. This is their cup final!
Comments
For those who want to watch the game, I believe it is available on Sky Sports+ and NOW.
Think the side will look like this:
Ravs
Jasper - Skura - Hartridge - JMac? (maybe Harvie)
Bakinson - Ward - Leahy
Bartolo - Udoh - Kone
A mix of experience and youth - Blooms will want to win so won't throw 11 kids out but I'm sure we'll see a couple of them.

@micra You know laptops are kinda portable right?

I really hope that’s 4-4-2. Udoh and Vokes could be great together.
Where does that put fellow striker Bartolo
Was literally about to say the same. It's gotta be 442 surely??
I really like that line up
wide midfield.
Sads-Butcher-Bakinson-Bartolo
We aren't messing around with that lineup! I hope Sads only gets 45 though - we need him for Saturday!
I thought we concluded that the "Red Button" games on Sky Sport+ aren't available on a laptop/PC only via the app on a tablet or via your Sky TV?
You might find you can't watch from the dining room @micra, as you intend.
Please let me know if you can watch tonight's game on a laptop and how you do so, if successful.
John Joe O’Toole starts for Wimbledon. Suddenly this game means something.
BBC say 4-3-3 but what do they know?
John Joe O’Toole.
Nominative determinism strikes again.
It could be Udoh behind Vokes in the 10, he looked good there chasing both league games.
I like that line up. Some first teamers to give Matt a selection headache some youth to show what they can do. Bench also looks exciting

Oh yeah, I forgot ops!
great ball from J-Mac but nobody gambled

lino's pulled his hamstring
six? seven? minutes for the fourth official and the lino to swap over...feels excessive
You can tell we have a good squad when these games are intriguing for the sake of seeing the players who get a long runout.
Jahiem Dotse is 17.
Should he play tonight he'll be our....3rd?? youngest player?
Tilley looks a decent player.
Mo Harkin i'm sure played at 16.
Ibe at 15
Roger Johnson was only 17 years old and 8 days.
Bound to be others
