Was at the vale this morning and Lewis, Mutch, Keinan, Helgusson, McNaughton and Mason all trained with the under 21s/development squad today, so would expect them to be the backbone of the team as they all need game time for one reason or another. Earnie & Blake are with Wales so they won't be going.

Malky was showing someobody around, but can't say I recognised who it was - definitely wasn't Michael Owen, Haris Vukcic, Tommy Smith or Martin Taylor though. :? :?

I don't think so, but it could have been I suppose. To be honest we couldn't quite get close enough for a proper look as they were just going inside.

Im betting on a bluebirds win and any other result I'd be happy with. We've knocked out Liverpool and Bolton away in recent seasons so we won't fear yous just respect you

We knocked out the mighty Oxford this time last season so I would be quaking in my boots if I were you!

Wouldn't be surprised if you beat us TBH. Looks like we've got about 8 on international duty and Malky is going to rest a few other first teamers due to our first league game being on friday night. Our international players will be playing on wednesday night and travelling from various parts of Europe on thursday so little chance for them to rest and recover and no time for a get-together in training......far from ideal preparation. Because of this situation Malky will have a good few youngsters on duty. Obviously I'd like us to win but won't cry if we don't. Our run to the League Cup Final last season probably cost us promotion. :ayatollah:
