Back on the coach for the relatively short journey to the North East for the League Cup fourth road tie against the current Championship leaders, the first of two games between the sides in four days.
United after a slow start are now in pole position in the league and will probably stay there until the end of the season, unbeaten in their last eight games since a home defeat against Wolves on 17/9/2016, they are scoring goals for fun at the moment and yesterdayput three past the Tractor boys.
As I said given that the two sides meet in the league on Saturday and seeing both sides have played three times in the last week, expect plenty of changes in both sides although think United will still be able to put out a strong side from the squad they have.
The fourth round is a rare treat for us, it is about 12 years since we got this far before collapsing in a heap with a 5-0 hammering at Villa Park, given we played an unchanged side yesterday expect the likes of Grimshaw, Lindegaard, Huntington(ex United) and maybe Vemijl and the lesser spotted Beckford to make the 18.
Personal view welcome distraction, win or lose either way just hope it is an entertaining game and for £10 entry it is a bargain as well, sold over a 1000 for the macth, we are in the seventh tier, crampons and walking boots to the ready, eat plenty of carrots as the pitch is almost in a different country from that vantage point.
Only a short preview as we have them again on Saturday and I'm still knackered from yesterday.
