if Fleck is ever going to come back and resurrect his career tomorrow is as good a chance as any.

Sorry to say I was watching him warm up with the other subs at half-time the other week and he couldn't have looked any less like a professional sportsperson (dart thrower aside, perhaps).

That said, there'll be no one happier than me if he gets back playing as he was a hell of a player a couple of years back...

Definitely Fleck, if he doesn't make an appearance or doesn't survive the experience, surely he will be condemned to Warfey's dustbin.

I'd hope as many fit players will get a run out tomorrow as possible. Sorely tempted to turn up, but the club aren't making it very tempting especially as it is on TV.

This is a genuine question and I?m not having a go but how could the club make it more tempting? It?s Rotherham on a cold Tuesday night in a cup competition no one cares about until there?s a chance of getting to Wembley. It?s a tenner to get in. You can?t get two pints of ale for that these days. Other than letting us in for nowt what could they do ?

Probably advertise that it will be a strong side which I kind of expect but still have doubts about. I'm still waiting on the prematch interview for hints.

He must drink pints of champagne top and a half of champagne and lime for his lady

Hard not to even in this day and age including the CFC concourse

Completely forgot about Fleck and Akinola. Akinola could well start. Fleck perhaps off the bench for 20 mins.

Well I would expect pretty much everyone who is fit to be in the squad / get a run out. I don?t know if you?ve noticed but we?re hardly blessed with numbers.

[Westbars Spireite]

I expected initially for the demand to be there to open the South Stand but seemingly nowhere near. Maybe 2500.

We've got everyone from the last league game (presumably) plus Banks plus the two new lads assuming there are no others coming back from injury. We've quite a squad to pick from comparatively! Might have to disappoint someone ha.

The 13 that got on the pitch last game

Fleck, Palmer, Banks, Araujo, Berry, Boot + two new signings + any other players back in full training for a week or so + the youngsters that have feature before in this competition

Give us your team because I'm not sure

Thought the same but as I can't make my mind up to go I shouldn't be surprised at the uptake.

Ok then. You might get 2/3 pints then. Ffs man. This board is an absolute joke.

Decent that

I?m going to my first Vertu Motors game of the season, though it would be a reasonable crowd with new players and a while since we last played
