 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the match preview, the FA Cup third round away to Hull City in a potentially tricky tie, certainly the BBC think it's a tricky tie, they're looking at this one thinking that'll do us! Out of form, Everton vs anybody, away from Gullison, thrower on TV, sat in out of fire, forget about Superman and Lois, this is the big one for them, forget about anything else that's on an out of fire from 19th place. Pointless vs 15th place. From the outside, looking from the outside, it does scream upset this game doesn't it? If you're on the outside, you're on the inside. This isn't our first round. Saturday night, FA Cup against Lower League opposition who were struggling, we've been here before, Marko Silver will testify. It's a very banana skin looking game, even with Hull struggling a little bit themselves, the way Everton are defending at the moment I think anyone gives Everton a game at the minute. That's the first problem to solve for the manager. Keep giving away ridiculous goals and what you would think of in these kind of games is keep it tight, don't give away silly free kicks, these will be strong off set plays, all the things I haven't had very good at is we continue to concede goals from set plays and we did last week and if you're Hull that's what you'd be working on this week. Definitely that's 100%, you'd be coaching them all week on the basics of getting a ball into the box into the right areas, getting a knick in the front post to the back post because we seem to love that one don't we? That's what you'd be working on. When you're flying you look at these games and you think, crack at this one, good game. But when you're down there and you're out losing games, you do look at these games and it gives the opposition hope and it doesn't matter what we've seen, we went to Huddersfield, struggled, QPR went out and now we've got another away game against the championship team and again a ghost of penalties as well. Ghost of penalties now, it has to be settled on the day and obviously you've got to have the right mindset, got to approach it like this could kick start the season because otherwise if you go out there and pick up in the third round, to anybody, suddenly you're looking at the rest of the season, the hope trains are here, if it's just about surviving isn't it? This used to be the kick started isn't it? Yeah of course it did and you know, it's funny cos I got back to when we last won it and it was so, it was weird the way, it became like the jacqueline hard, almost like in the league we were the dogs of war but in the FA Cup we had like a little bit of something about it, a little bit of freedom to play football, like Savannah Slimpar started becoming a bit more elevated and as the season started we had a little bit of freedom to play football like Savannah Slimpar started becoming a bit more elevated and as the season went on we took a little bit more, a little bit out of that into the league and then the following season that's how we started to play, so we can give you that freedom if you are, but again I think back when we were in decent form then as well cos under Joe Royal but it can give you that freedom it can release you from the shackles of thinking oh god another three points so again it's mindset, it's how we approach it, we have to battle, we have to scrap because that's what they'll do first, they'll know quality, you know it's on our side even though it doesn't look like it, they'll know that so they're going to have to battle and scrap for everything so that means we have to match them first of all on that and then hope the other things start to come out and that's where everything has been lacking like you just said, the basics getting the basic defending right these will have faced and these will use basic set piece plays every game cos that's what it, it's weird the lower you go down in the divisions it's almost like the more important that becomes and yet it's so important and it's something we're so bad at, really really really bad at both ends of the pitch and to me that's like one of those fundamental things that if you work on it every day in the training ground how can you go wrong but we do so because it seems that higher you go they become, well not for everyone cos sometimes you know like your west hand under mwys you pride themselves on it but managers tend to have an arrogance about it, it's almost, it's secondary but I didn't think Rafa Benitez before he come here I didn't think he would be one of those and yet I can't understand how we're in January and we still haven't sorted it, there doesn't seem a, we had zone on marking at the very start for most of the season we almost went a little bit to like a hybrid, like a part zonal, part man to man, it seemed but now, the last few games, even that seems to be abandoned it just seems to be if anyone does anything, you know we had to, we had to find a way, we did the still didn't we for the second goal where there's three defence old hands and just leaving the biggest man on the pitch and if you can, if you don't do something as basic as on a Sunday, on a Sunday you would pick up a lad, he was the same size as you, if he was just, you go I've got to pick him up, he wouldn't put me on him, he'd go I'll go and mark him anyway cos he's my side, that's at the very basic level, like turn up with your boots on yet you're playing go on the and yet in the Premier League we just go, he's massive, I mean he's a fan there, but I'm going to stand there with John Joe Kenny, instead of going I have to go and pick him up and I don't know, the manager might be saying, the manager might sit here and go we do an hour set play every day and these plays are drilled and yet they go when the whistle goes at three o'clock, it doesn't look like that. So the sides of that don't like leaving a player up front and they've got to take two back, but a player on the back post you can see it all happening, but a tall player on the front post wins the first, they're basics that if you're in a bit of a tough spot you do. It's what we'll have to do with the weekend, we'll have to make sure we don't give anything cheap away and because let's be honest right, this is for me looking at it, if everyone gets knocked out on Saturday I don't think the manager's got any way to go, I honestly don't think he's got another excuse left in him, we've had injuries and that's fine and we've both sat here and gone, it is harsh on them. But the seasons, we're in Djangir very now, if we can see the another gold in the set play, we get knocked out, he's had some money to swap it, it's only this week, but I don't think he's got anywhere to go, we've won one game since September, so if you then go up the cup, we've been able to keep you out of the other cup, we're in a relegation battle and we're out of the FA Cup in the first round, I would be saying how, I don't see how we can survive. So it's a big game for the manager this weekend, if he wants to stay in charge of having a football club, Evan have got to go and win this game and I think he's got to go as strong as he can. I think he has to anyway because there's no excuses, we played last Sunday, we hadn't played for over two weeks before that, and I know we've got a game Tuesday but so what? We got away with the Christmas period, so I'd love to be looking at thinking, I want these players to have a few games actually because there's no reason not to, they're all rested, okay you've got your injuries in the situation but you want the players back and you want them playing, I don't see anything wrong with that, I look at this fiction, I'm not thinking it lightly but I think you should be good enough to beat them and you should be good enough to beat them and then go and play on the Tuesday and play at a high level. There's no, it should be the strongest team, it should be about putting confidence into that team as well. Do you see Dominic Albert Lund starting? Well I mean obviously this talk that he's got stiffness from the weekend so they're going to have to be careful about that because I was thinking about this last night, I was thinking, memory and shame has come, mum was out and of course he was out for a lot longer but he played against Leicester and it was an amazing performance and then we didn't see him play three games. So it happens, you get a few little niggly things and you have stiffness and all the other things start catching up because it's not only that injury, you've been out for four months, all your other little things are going to start coming out because anyone who's done any kind of exercise you haven't done for a while, there'll be a lot of that going on at the moment, we'll suddenly start feeling all these things and you've got to get through that. I think I'd be saving for, I'd probably be thinking put them on the bench and hopefully not need them, hopefully not need them but if we do maybe the last 20 minutes or something but there's no reason why someone like Rondon shouldn't be able to play as a focal point in this game and have players off him. I think it's a good opportunity for the likes of Dobbin and Simms this one off the bench, certainly Dobbin and Rondon will start, let's be honest, he'll come on this weekend, he'll start, I am at him and then I think it's a good opportunity for those other young lads to get some minutes against lower league opposition and go out and prove something. But everybody else, other players should be ready to go. So what do we do with the new silence? Both come in obviously? I think they both got to play. I think, yeah, yeah, fine off. Michael Enco, we need balance on the left, so Michael Enco for me's got to start and now he hasn't, he's training this week, he's not played for a few weeks, whether he does or not is a different thing. Ben goffri may play left back or might try John Joe Kenny this week at left back, but all you could be, but I'm sure he won't want to cut time. So I imagine that, well if it was me, I would play Michael Enco with and maybe look for it to get an hour under his belt and then see where we're up to in the game and whether or not we switch and we poke off free at left back for the last half an hour or whatever. I think Paterson's ready to go. We've been training and playing with Rangers and I think he's ready to go as well. I think, why not? Why not blow them? It might be, people might go at a bit too risky, put them on the bench. Maybe that's the right way to go, but I think if you want these players up to speed, then why wouldn't you give them an opportunity to get straight in there and play against the lower league opposition in a cup tie, 90 minutes, go get an hour under your belt or whatever. Put it this way, Paterson doesn't start, I expect him to come up. I expect both of them to make the debut this weekend. The manager might tell us differently, but why not? Why not? Michael Enco has been training. So if he's as long as his fitness is okay, would you not, would you leave him? I don't know because I don't know. Paterson Rangers won't have played and I don't think because of the winter break, but he was playing up until December and the same with Michael Enco. I'm not 100% sure what his levels are, but I suppose it would be, I suppose it's only because it's two positions and it's on, it's two players. I decide and defensively we haven't been great and you think you're putting them into those set piece roles aren't you? I'm just thinking about all that and I know people will go, well the people who have done it haven't been great. Both of them have had pretty much a full week of training ahead of it. So I'm sure they're both into consideration. There's things that obviously we don't know in terms of what their levels are and how the manager is going to bed them in. But Michael Enco's going to have to be bedding in quite quickly at left back because he's going to be at left back. Look at this, he's not going to play for us now. Let's get it right, he ain't going to play. No, well that's why I'm saying, that's why I think he is kind of probably more important than Patterson at the moment because he's got, because we haven't gone left back. Exactly, he's got two lads who can play there before Patterson. John Joe Kenny had them assist and the last game James would play there. So he can almost be kind of kick gloves into the team where there's, I think, Michael Enco's important. The balance of that left footer over that side is key. So that's why I think you try to get them in. Maybe the manager will think we'll put them on with 25 minutes to go and that you'll probably be able to get through 25 minutes, then it's just fair, bit of football. I don't know, like you just said, in an ideal world, they both, for me, get game time under the belt. But it's things like the centre backs. I don't think Blanthreads back this week and none of the other three are really making the case for holding anything down. It'll be more likely to be, if Michael Enco does play, then you've got Godfrey and Keane on yourself and then probably you've got James Coleman on the table. So, yeah, so I mean listen, it's all about attitude for me. It's all about attitude going out, not feeling sorry for yourself. You've got to go down or whatever. I think they'll be bored. I think they've got a takeover happening this week as well. So, you know, they've got the people out of their club that they don't like. So that might mean that, you know, I think someone put the tickets up to the diners, loads of tickets for the homings. So, we've seen that. I think the average gauge is just under 12,000 machine. They're obviously stagnated. They've sold. Now, this is a club that's had Andy Robertson, Harry McGuire, Tiara Bowen. We've all gone on to better things, you know, and the club is because of the way it's fell. It's fell away from, you know, it was in the Premier League for the bit and people have had silver, Michael Silver was there of course. So, it's had a goal and a few big humour. So, it's fell away a little bit and obviously the 19th and the championship show. But they'll be seeing this as a respite. They'll be seeing this as something to kickstart. Kickstart days. If you have it, not have it, no, they have to wake up and the same week you get the takeover. You're a whole fan. You'll be bouncing down. Last like bright blue skies ahead and all that. So, we've been on the end of these. It'd be lovely for them. Go out there, professional performance, you know, and do the job. Just do the job. Do the job you're paid to do. Well, let's have a look. I mean, let's have a look how they line up because they play the formation that we tried in the last couple of games, the three, four, one, two. Maybe, you know, maybe do everything stick with what they tried the last two games. Maybe, you said it, I think, in something like that, playing that formation might be a way out again. Michael Encoe in the team because, you know, we can play a little bit higher. And Patterson. And Patterson and try the pair of them on either wing and maybe then James Coleman does become the right. Or maybe the man that he looks ahead of Leicester and goes, I'm going to play Coleman against Leicester. So, give Patterson an hour or eight and maybe John Joe Kenny is then the replacement for Patterson or vice versa. So, everything may line up with that three at the back again. I don't think we do it particularly well, personally. It's because it's the midfield for me, but then you... Also, your number ten needs to be, or your number eight rather than number ten needs to be someone who can do the job properly. And again, I look and I think, who do we actually have who can do that job? I think the corey can do it, but... No, I'm saying if it's like that, do you put Gomez in there or Tom Davis if he's Bach? If he's Bach. But then you need two strikers if you're going to play like that. And then that will eliminate Gordon and Gray, so... Will he play one with me? We'd have whoever, we've run down and then you'd probably be flanked. I imagine by Gray and Gordon. Tarnog Tarns ends pushing to be Bach this weekend, but I think that's probably a little bit ahead of schedule. It'll be interesting. I mean, let's have a look at the end, your man as well, while we're here. It's Keen Lewis Potter, who's had a... These are just his 24 appearances. He sounds like an estate agent. Well, he might be very good at selling houses. 27. He's only 20 years of age. He's got five goals, three assists. He's averaging 3.2 shots a game. I think overall he's got six goals and three assists in all commentations. Is that to make a name for himself? Well, exactly. He's the one who we'd have to look out for. George Honiman's another player who people might have heard of. He's played for Sunderland. But Evan, like I've said before, we've got to go up and make sure that BBC got it. That they haven't got what they wanted and try and get this job done. The easiest way to do that is not to give anything away cheaply. But it's not really being a place we've had loads of success at. Remember them beating us on between Christmas and New Year? Y Llywodraeth Sgwr, you've got to beat Shuno. We've lost another time up there. Remember us winning there in the Cup and Y Gwbysgwr? But generally, no hole hasn't been a great place for us to go and get victory. So it's a case of Saturday we need to. Cos like I said before, Evan knows this one. I think the manager's in big, big trouble. Yeah. I mean, to get through professional performance. You just get through the tie. Play your strongest team. You've seen what happens when we don't play our strongest team against championship teams. Cos it's desire. It's desire. If Evan matched hole for the desire, the quality... And don't forget. The second half of the season is going to be great. Don't forget. Within the second half, let's see what he does. Manager said that, chief executive said that. It's going to be great. Apparently, the core, he's got to go two more games. Because the games are off. So it hasn't cleared yet. Ah, the bookings. Two more games without a book. I don't know. I don't know. It doesn't matter. Doesn't really matter. There you go. What are your thoughts on this game? Are you a little bit worried or you think we should have enough? Would you start the two new players?
