    What happened to that poor deer's face? I'm guessing their old badge was too non-League, like the name Stevenage Borough was.

  • The deer appears as if it might be smiling, and is standing in front of some red trees.

  • This is the team:

    4-3-3 (presumably)

    Yates

    Mascoll
    Sido
    Phillips
    JJ

    Ofoborh
    Thompson
    JGS

    Kashket
    Parker
    Aarons

  • Strong line up

  • Looks worth a watch.

    Had 9/11 correctly, but didn't think JJ would get a go here, and didn't even try and guess the third midfielder, but good to see JGS. See what he's got.

  • El Abd on the bench for them

  • Although there is no prediction there for obvious reasons I think we will win 3-0

  • 0-1 down

  • Lost half the game so far with interference on the screen.

    Anyone else having problems.on ifollow?

  • No updates from the clubs twitter since the goal, perhaps the internet is struggling at AP

  • Luckily by about 8mins the stream has been perfect

  • PLAY 4-3-3 NOT 3-4-3!

  • 30 away fans, that’s staggering or are they all WAGs and relatives.

  • Our third lowest attendance for a competitive first team fixture at AP. The other two both coming in this competition.

  • Such a pony competition

  • Poor game so far.

    Strange lineup, with JJ in the middle of a back 3, and Phillips in a sort of advanced right back position. It's not working too well.

    Oboforh and Aarons with a couple of nice runs, but not much else happening so far.

    Roll on the second half!

    This cup isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's a good vehicle to getting some of the lesser used players a good run out.

  • This is a pretty terrible football match, but on the other hand it’s worth a tenner just to watch Curtis Thompson.

  • And as I post that he’s subbed off, so only worth £6.98 now.

  • I'm really hoping this is a full strength Stevenage team. If not then there's no real excuse for us being unable to get some kind of result, even if we are only a rag-tag collection of individuals who have not played together as a team before.
    Thought we'd have enough quality to beat this lot.

  • Stevenage bottom of league 2, and made 3 changes. Lucky it's in this cup, rather than another one or we'd be a bit more gutted.

    Would like to know why JJ wasn't taking those last 2 corners when he's scored from 2 of his most recent ones!

  • That was absolutely atrocious but then again the type of performance that competition deserves.

  • Did JJ really play at centre back? I guess it's fair enough that GA is using this competition to experiment.

  • Centre of 3 centre backs, with Phillips doing some odd semi right midfield position, and having the left sided player much more advanced.

    Looks a bit too clever for my liking.

    Thought Oboborh had a really poor game. Hopefully a loosener after a bit of time out, as his first game was terrific for us.

    JGS looks a fair way off getting near it again.

  • "See James McLean Mckenzie's other Tweets"

    No thank you.

  • Thought Mascoll did well though.

    .

  • What a load of crap.

    Thought Yates played well, some nice saves.

    1 shot on target for us?

  • On the plus side - at least we got that performance out of the way in a pointless competition. Hopefully not an indicator of our supposed strength in depth.
