If they can waste 2 hours on City v Salford, I’m sure it will be.

Even if we do get past Derby the ramifications of facing City seems daunting.

That is the type of draw in the FA Cup we were all dreaming about so bring it on .

It's an attempted joke because Derby's nickname is The Rams.

I still wish it was an away game. We'd have taken 5,000 up to Manchester, if not more. The atmosphere would have been electric.

Instead, we're going to end up with plastic London based Man City fans infiltrating the home ends. It's going to be horrific.

Didn't we have the same concerns about Arsenal buying up the home ends in 2011. Club did well in that general sale tickets could only be purchased if you had the stubs for 2 games, seem to remember one of them was an extremely boring 0-0 v Brighton and the other may have been a slightly better win against Swindon. Only saving grace that night was all goals were scored in the first half so didn't mind leaving early to start queuing for the tickets.

If we progress, I imagine tickets will be prioritised for ST holders and OneOrientWhatevers. There wont be any left after that.

I'm sure the 4,500 season ticket holders will be fine, I've no concerns over that.

Are there actually any OneOrients? I highly doubt it.

I remember a stub thing to get tickets to watch Brighton at their athletics track about 25 years ago (the turnstile operators at Blackpool were just handing out bundles so made a mockery of the whole thing). I have no recollection of stubs being needed for the Arsenal cup game.

I thought it was a reasonably good attempt. Ewe obviously didn't.

The club have said that if we get through then the people who go to the derby game will have third priority for tickets after ST holders and One Orient members

I don't think it will happen, no way would we go with Ethan and Donley as two attacking midfielders against Man City. If Clare, Ethan, and Donley all play, I suspect Ethan would be full back and Clare defensive midfield. That said Ethan defending against Doku might be painful to watch.

If they move it to Sunday, or Monday, the Tuesday game against Mansfield becomes difficult.

Why would we not play Donley and Galbraith together as part of the front 3 behind Kelman?

Assuming Ethan wide right, he'd have the legs to get back and double up with Clare.

Not sure that Wellens will change what has been working lately, back to similar to wasn't working early season. That said with no decent winger to replace O'Neill and Agyei unavailable, something has to change.

Due to injuries, I think the team pretty much picks itself .

Not suggesting the formation will change.
