That's my understanding. Also, we only have one league match in the next month. I doubt if that's ideal in the middle of the season in terms of maintaining match fitness.

don't think it matters really......we wont get through to the 3rd round even if we do win this tie & we wont be getting into the play-offs either.
That's it, stay positive haha!
It's ok Golfie didn't give us a cat in hell's chance last night especially when Reeves and Djiksteel were ruled out. It's all reverse psychology so what he is really saying is we're going to do the cup and league double .
shame that lb is not putting a strong side out - pisses me off as i never thought we would be the club to do it, id happily get to the 3rd round get a big london club away have a day out and never know get a result, we are sat 6th in league 1 - not exactly overachieving are we.
Especially for those of us making the trip on a Sunday. Not asking for LB to put out our starting 11, but just hope the line-up doesn't take the piss.
I'm going Sunday and I hope he picks the under 11s

I'm only going to see us play at a new ground. The same with Burton later this month.
Whatever side Bowyer puts out I'm sure it will be the right one at the time and all those lads will give it their all.
It is what it is.
That's fine for you and the other's going with that mentality but I'm going in the hope of a decent away day.
I trust Bowyer and I would back our u23s to do a job on Mansfield anyway, but it would just be nice to take the cup seriously for once.
Why?
Assume you're asking why it would be nice to take the cup seriously?
Because being Charlton fans, we have very few things we can get excited about. That run to the quarter final a few seasons back was the only decent thing this club has done with Roland in charge. Yes it ended in tears and a dogshit performance but it was class heading up in the morning of the game and seeing the motorway lined with Charlton scarves/flags in car windows. Or Fulham away a few seasons before that, one of the all time great away days.
I know the FA cup has lost a lot of its appeal but I still enjoy watching the draw, especially if we make it to the 3rd round and have the chance of getting a big side, or even better a derby. I get that people don't want to risk first-teamers, but if we can have a cup run without being detrimental to the league campaign then what's the harm?
Yes I enjoy watching the draw for the cup and like hundreds of others with Mansfield away being a new ground shouted with joy . 5 minutes later though reality kicked in , we are know going to have to wait a few days to find out what day were playing. Then we find out Sunday 12.45 ko then a good percentage of those going are now not. Like last season there were about 12 of my lot going afc changed it to the Sunday 2 ended up going. Would've been at least 15 going up If Mansfield was on the Saturday there's just 2 going maybe 3. For a lot of us the cups not what it was years ago and most teams are not bothered with the cup , if your one of the top 10 teams in the championship at the moment do you really want to be going on a little cup run with the premier league calling. With Taylor and Igor out the next league game do we really want to risk grant and ajose.
Same with my lot Chris. Maybe 10 of us would have gone had it been Saturday. 2 of us now. The f.a.cup has been devalued by the ever-growing of the premier league and the champions league. Sad

Won't be there now either mate even though it's Northish, due to a prior commitment.
All well and good having the chance of a cup game against our higher placed rivals palace or millwall but fuck that we’re shit compared to them and I don’t want them laughing at us anymore as they turn us over and even if we win we’re still in a league or two below . Let’s get promotion and smash the filthy scumbags in the league .... Well law of averages and all that ..

Yes, forgot Burton. Checkatrade is of no relevance since it makes no sense to hold players back from the FA Cup and then play them in that.
I still think it makes no sense to leave fit players with no game for two and a half weeks and then another ten days after Burton. Plus people like Ajose, Lapslie and others will need games anyway. Not saying I’d play Taylor but I don’t think it’s similar to MK Dons or Stevenage.
Football supporters are funny. Myths constantly repeated become truths. The hard evidence suggests that cup runs have a positive effect on League form.
Not sure if this proves anything? Correlation doesn’t mean causation.
Obviously better teams will do well in both competitions. If you’re winning cup games then you are of course more likely to be winning in the league as well.

Roll on, roll off subs ? I guest that's the reason it's a 12.45 KO.
Mansfield unbeaten in 11 games and we have a a bucketful of injuries. Banker home win sadly.
Not sure, i watched Mansfield beat Carlisle 1-0 earlier in the season and Mansfield missed a hatful of chances, they should easily have won, they had to dig deep and hold on at the end.

That only comes around every five / six years for us so even if we get there we'll end up with a trip to Blackburn or Wigan!!
First Round Proper £36,000
Second Round Proper £54,000

and those three dont usually challenge at the top end of League Two

Those odds for us seem a little bit generous, but I'll wait until I see our starting eleven
