The fans are in and the players are almost ready, good luck to everyone this week...

The ref blows and the games are underway...

Well a good showing in the cup, but some much harder games to come here. 

A few changes at Plymouth to maximise use of the free DY in the centre and overload Utd's AM - whether it works or not we shall see and am hoping Independiente's WHs can really target the Argentinos FBs. 

Kalvin Phillips and Paredes will have their work cut out keeping Bruno and Lanzini quiet so a lot is riding on those battles.

A debut for Tevez at TM and Ben White at Plymouth so lets see how they get on...

Roll on 90 minutes of CF action

Argentinos 1 Independente 0 Lanzini on 4 minutes.
Santos 0 Palmeiras 1 Passos.

Well my plans haven't quite worked - not sure I could have done much more than MM both their TM and hope for the best... 

Still lots of time left in the games which is a bonus - they still have to stop Odegaard and Tevez who should have a big role to play in these games...

Gillingham 0 Consett 1 El Ghazi on 12 minutes.
