Should be a routine win. Be a lot of changes and we will maybe look a bit disjointed at first as I doubt it will be a side that's played much together
But these are effectively mini rags so should be treated with contempt
KO at 5.45
4-1

I once played football against Salford lads club, they've come on well haven't they ? Even got their own portacabins and toilets.

I wonder what chants will be directed at Giggs?

You mean the player that came on as sub against City wearing black tights ? "Dancing Queen" perhaps ?

Cakey 2-1 90th minute.
Salford game plan - put 11 behind the ball then kick it over our stupidly high line for the quick lad to bamboozle Gvardiol and score

Ortega may start although Ederson’s is fit. I’d be surprised if O’Reilly doesn’t start.

I'd like to see him and McAtee today. If they cannot get a run out today, what's the point?

Really? A horrible team
Walker alone makes it so
JWE at left back can’t happen
The last four names on that team sheet would be acceptable. But O’Reilly for Gundogan is surely preferable. And more youth on the bench
KDB and Foden and Savinho and Silva should get nowhere near the pitch today as these cloggers will be out to injure them. The cheating dirty mini-me rags that they are
They are a fourth level outfit who quite frankly we should beat with the EDS team forming the majority of the squad

A bit of experience mixed with youth. I’d take it.
Salford are shit. If we can’t beat them with our second team we’ve got bigger issues than first thought.

Long hard game. Failing seniors, not stepping-up kids. Can't wait

I would love to hear the classic chant of him being sort of illegal, missing certain papers, béing in a state that he can't get out off.
A true member off the MB-club.
It that a to big ask?

Best avoid the pre amble. It'll be us losing the cup final, us getting knocked out by Halifax and Cardiff and a run of all our crap defeats before Xmas
Then there's the whole class of 92 shit
Yuk

I’m hoping there’s a red button option to turn off the commentary.

Maybe they'll have Colleymore on and have a discussion about wife beating and him and Giggs can compare notes
