Im off shortly to soak up as much atmosphere as possible. Very interested to see what the team is. I think / hope a few are rested.

Certainly think Pascal and possibly Mac may come out for Sarmiento / Gilmour.

Score a goal within the first 30 minutes and the boys can just sleepwalk into victory. If Grimsby needs to attack, they're dead.

Don't get that fairly early goal and the situation changes quite a bit.

No game for 2 weeks so we should start with strongest team possible

Absolutely this. Apart from anything, making numerous changes and leaving regular starters out is disrespectful to Grimsby.

Strongest possible starting 11 please RDZ

I think it'll be pretty easy.

There you go, you've got your scapegoat.
Also think it will be easy. If the boys do a good job, it should be a win with five or six goals. A decent job maybe two or three goals. A poor job, still comfy win.
Have to be absolutely terrible to lose this.

A few inflatable fish on the bus.
I'm looking forward to this, should be a bouncing atmosphere.
As others have said, get that early goal and they'll have to come at us, that's when we play at our best.

Why the hell would we rest anyone? 2 week break coming, Quarter Final of the FA Cup, apart from GK, I'd be keeping it v strong. This is huge for us.

Remind me of how many minutes Gross has missed since RdZ became manager.

Made the mistake of getting the train to Falmer via Brighton. Hour and a half before kick off and your held in a pen like an animal with a massive queue. And I thought I was early. Never again!

Ideally yes. Just think he'll want to give some squad players a go.
The only player ‘getting a go’ other than our strongest starts from recent league games will be Sanchez possibly - as has been said - this is not a 3rd round cup match but the quarter final which could see us at Wembley for only the third time in our history. Yes, we could see some walk ons if we are 3 or 4 up but otherwise subs will be purely tactical to win (or unfortunately necessary due to injury).

It’s massive for RDZ and huge for us too.
