Exeter City vs Newport County - Papa John’s Trophy Match Day Thread

[Cowshed Grecian]

I think this lineup highlights the need for a LWB still. Sparkes shouldn't have to start every league game and Pizza Cup games too.

Very True was thinking the same thing, although I guess we managed last season with 3 WB’s

Newport seem to have a strong side, so we do well to win this

Bizarre line up. Why risk so many first teamers for this pointless match? Just play the majority of the u21s. I understand a couple who need minutes like cox, harper, grounds and chauke but why risk the rest of them? Not one full youth team player starting seems stupid if you ask me. cox doesn’t really count as youth team at the moment as he’s our first team back up up front

As has been noted previously, he is more than adequate cover for Sweeney. This is the same back 3 that snuffed out FGR's attack in early January so well

There's money to be made for winning games, which I'd guess plays a part in the line up

It’s the pizza cup I doubt the prizes are very big. Our squad is paper thin as it is there’s more money to be made by not getting needless injuries which could result in us getting relegated.

8 changes from Saturdays line-up. Relax.

£10k for winning a Trophy game. Good money for us.
