um right is analysis team news match officials and more here's everything you need to know ahead of branford's Carbell cup second round tire against CER United on Wednesday it's quarter to eight kickoff obviously not he not on live which is disappointing um but obviously we'll hopefully get to see highlights and stuff hopefully if we win I would hope we would this time you know we can't be defending now we you know no more parking the bus let's go for these this lot no disrespect to to um culture stuff but uh they're not Premier League opposition they're League to yes they're better than they were last time but you know we should still be beating teams like this if we don't I think we should just give up playing pack it up now um you know you we lost to Liverpool but that's Liverpool uh great team we all know and we didn't actually turn up for the game anyway but we got to turn up tonight we got to beat this lot we we got enough surely with the new players playing tonight as well anyway um brenford meet a familiar caribel cup for as they travel to cester United on Wednesday in the second round um quarter to quarter to eight the two sides met a job cir community in August 20 22 at the same stage of competition keing Le par opened the scoring that night with his first be goal before mads Beck got on the end of Ian Tony's flip to confirm the win later on we haven't got him anymore M backck however um no longer here uh yeah to confirm the win later on analysis team news match officials and more is everything you need tonight ahead of the game prematch analysis Richard Cole playmaker stats improved culta capable of causing an upset well I hope they don't I really hope they don't tonight but we shall see uh brenford will be hary favorites to win once again this week but this is a better culture side than two years ago I think they are definitely this week's opponents have had some big moments in this this competition before going back to the 201920 season K got as far as to carar cup quarterfinal having defeated Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace on penalties their cut run eventually ended at Old Trafford where they went down to a 3-nil defeat uh That season the youth finished six in League two but couldn't make it past extra 30 in the playoff semifinal since then they have had to worry more about relegation yet despite finishing 22nd in the fourth tier last year just three points ahead of rated Su United there are better things expected from the from the Essex Club this season even after a mixed start with one win and two defeats from their first three league league two games uh cult that are 17th in the league table but their stats so far suggest that that that may just be temporary Danny C's team had the fourth highest uh pass success rate in League two 75 7% and had the joint third number of tackles per game on average 19 the same as harut town going forward the stats are interesting ker a average six shots on target per game no team in need to has more but despite that they have scored just four goals so far in the league in the League this season but considering C have amassed an XG of 3.85 in the fourth tier so far far this season that that's how four looks looks to be fairly accurate on average the attacking intent is certainly there but the us will have to carve out better opportunities in future still CST made it to this stage by defeating league league one side League one side reading and shouldn't be un underestimated I mean reading are a decent team as well yeah uh the US's had taken a two-nil lead two-nil goal lead against the Royals thanks to Tom Hoppers early header for a cut from a corner before Jack Payne added from the penalty spot Payne is one to look out for the midfielder has already scored two and assisted three in four games so far this season brenford will also have to be careful when defending set pieces but they may also get some Joy Joy from their own both of reading's goals also came from set pieces the first was a magnificent strike from Charlie Savage after CER failed to defend the corner before Lewis wing uh equalize from a direct free kick on the edge of the area that was curled into the bottom corner ultimately though penalty penalties again helps culture to progress and the bees will know not to underestimate League the League 2 side who are certainly capable of causing an upset on their day Scout report Dan Long Sky Sports Co still looking forward again under caly less than 20 years ago or be it only for one season ker United were a mid-table champ Championship club uh last season they were in danger of dropping out of the football league all together and playing in non Le for the first time since 1992 you didn't take nothing for granted in this game the last four years have been a struggle between the time John McGrill left after 202 games in the summer of 2020 and January six six permanent manages have been and gone with the S6 Club having finished 20th or below in three of the last four campaigns Ben Garner o oversaw a positive end in 2022 23 after Matt Bloomfield returned to Wickam to to succeed Gareth Haworth and knowned the rights to remain in charge at the start of last season but I enjoyed an absolute nightmare which came to an abrupt end after 13 league league two games the yous had won three drawn one and lost nine leaving them second bottom installed in his place as caretaker and then permanent successor a little under a month later was ex West Ham United and Stoke City wing on Matthew Effington who had already been working at the club as under 21's coach he won his first game in charge with the with the team showing grip to come back from being pegged back twice to beat Grimsby 3-2 the toy turned relatively quickly though as ker suffered eight defeats in a run of nine games things were arguably even Bleaker than than they had been prior to G's departure then Danny C and his brother Nikki returned to the Essex routs to try and get the club out of trouble on paper it was a step down as their last job has had been trying to bring happier days back to portsman but they saw an opportunity our parents always encouraged us to run towards a challenge Cy told Sky Sports in March soon they were barely conceding more than once per game the losses were drying up and the points T was gradually increasing in the end across 20 games cult the pit up 22 points and kept their noses above the relegation Zone by three points at the expense of sutt United and forest green Rovers the job had been done the unthinkable had been avoided and the club could look forward again we were place in League 2 secure Cary has overhauled his Squad the 11 new players signed at the time of writing with four departing on loan and and the sizable group release which included Cameron mcgean and Veteran John AI such such significant turnover suggest it might be a while before the squad is firing on all cylinders but two wins and two defeats on the last four in all competitions is not too bad a return po not is on X of course Al Reed with the with a breakthrough later on this afternoon what watch your highlights on the Wind now on on our YouTube channel yeah go there if you want to check that out C United highlights against MK Dons of course um I want to try to to show the rest of the world or at least whoever is watching exactly how far we come as a team in the club said Cy in his aforementioned interview with Sky Sports there's certainly potential for culer and we not missed at the helm for the first time in half a decade they will be hoping to be looking back towards the top half at the very least in The Dugout Danny Cy Danny Cy started out in football in the late 8 as a youngster at wion's Academy but hopes of making it in professional football were ended when he was not offered a scholarship at the age of 16 and suffered with oscard Schlatter disease which caused him to grow

forced into retirement at the age of 29 and 2007 before long he had joined Concord Rangers as assistant to Danny Scopes and he stayed there until 2015 managing almost 400 games and earning fre promotions that led to a year in the National League with brain tree before he was before he was appointed as Lincoln city's new manager alongside brother Nikki this me he quit his job as head of PA Fitz W Walmart scoring in essic uh Fitz wiar Sor uh School sorry in essic where he had spent 15 years bouncing the career in non League his time at the Ln stadium was was a resounding success in three years he won the national league lead to and efl trophy as well as a memorable run to the FA Cup quarterfinal in 201617 a step up to the championship with hfield lasted just 10 months even though KY kept the terriers in the division during a campaign disrupted by covid after just under a year out work Cy was appointed as Kenny jacket successor at Portsmouth in March 2021 he won six his of his first 12 games in charge but pompy missed out on the playoff place by two points they finished 10 points off the pace in his only full season in charge and were were set 12 when he was set on the 2nd

Daily Gazette John Waldren cult United reporter for for the day Gazette day Gazette explains how Danny Cy he's like set up his side on Wednesday evening he's quite flexible with his formations looking at what he has done so far there are going to be three Center halfs with two Wing backs Manny EG Eggo is versatile and he's up and down the flank a lot whereas on the other side JK Gordon is more of a traditional attacking Winger and not so much of a defensive player you will see sent house coming over and playing more of a fullback row at times Alex Woodard is the one holding midfielder with Teddy bishop and Jack pay in front of him in the triangle with Tom Hopper and Samson toid the two forwards L Taylor signed in summer and and has not featured yet but he was signed to start and I would imagine he will start when he is fit which could be by the time of the brenford game while time in the brenford game um yeah this was their last uh game uh formation there in team 34 31 42 Macy excuse

we're away mate we're at um we at K Stadium yeah the job serve Community Stadium we're there um but saying that I mean they're still a league two team they're a league two team uh we should be beating this lot they make have home all way I'm sorry we got to we got to be beating it and as good as they look they're decent they're good very good team but they're low level they're not premier I mean yeah we well we look at we beat you lot your Premier we beat you lot Chelsea 2-0 last season and we beat him before of course so we beat you lot before that as well so yeah but I I think we should be beating this lot let's be honest we should uh hi B how are you mate yeah I'm I'm fine man fine cheers for coming on Warren into the live chat cheers bro thanks mate um I'll just read this it might be the same thing I'm not sure but I'll have a look it's possibly the same um brenford head coach Thomas Frank has confirmed that new signs Fabio CIA and set vandenbberg will start against C United on Wednesday yeah it's pretty much the same yeah it says a bit more about um uh Unis emry conak I'm interested to see this young man see what he can do a Turkish player uh Unice was injured for three or four months so he looks a little rusty at the beginning of preseason but he picks up towards the end and I like more and more what I'm seeing from him said Frank but there is still adaptation as he as coming from the Turkish League League pardon me sorry sorry guys um he is involved in the squad tomorrow so let's see if he's starting or not ju Su had a really good preseason and impressed me with his performances he's also involved in the squad tomorrow so let's see what will happen both of them are players that I can't I can't see going out un loan right now I think the best thing for them is is to train with us and our principls are and our principles and intensity uh Frank stressed there is no room for for complacency against League 2 so cult on Wednesday no there isn't there's no room for that the you have have had big moments in this this competition reaching the quarterfinal in 201920 we respect everyone said Frank the cup game is extremely difficult and we will take it seriously we really want to go on a cut run Danny Cy is a well organized coach he's got a long career behind him he achieved some fantastic things with Lincoln City and I thought he did well at Huddersfield in many aspects uh he will set set them up well and he will do everything he can to disrupt us and try to win the game we need to be on it it's up up to us to perform and show our best and if we do that we will win the game we lost to Gillingham after after draw on penalties and we played a one all with newpool and got got thr own penalties so I'm fully aware about that about what he's waiting for us and I know it will be very difficult well let's hope we won't have to rely on um penalties I really hope not um I think we should have enough here I really do um I really think we we should I'm just going to go into this it might show what sort of a team we might ever um no they not showing a team yet well obviously not won't be to later it's actually confirmed um what sort of side did the be put out was it a full strength one or team of reserves and or youngsters um it was um I think it was a bit of both really I mean we had experience and and youngsters we had obviously a lot of Reserve players as well um many players that never get a chance in the first te uh playing the premier or anything uh we had we had quite a few there um I mean we we're talking we're going back 2022 we were a lot different team then we you know we might probably even had Tony there I don't I'm sure we had Tony playing maybe so um but yeah I it was a mixture mate really um let's try and get on to this and see what the team could be uh right um but obviously Aaron hickey is still injured and so it's Rico Henry so they're definitely not in it uh he's talking about J Su Kim I'm sure he'll get a chance he played in our B Team a lot last season when he came in he was in the B team I think I think he should get I think he'll get a go tonight I really do um I said don't like Ros Le I don't rate him at all um but surely he won't play tonight we got get somebody else to go I can't see him playing Nathan Collins no I'm sure it'll just be figure in the um Premier games which he has been he's actually started quite well this season Nathan Collins some better from than last season where he made a lot of mistakes most of the time um I think he'd be save for the premier game obviously we've got South Anson on Saturday yeah Christopher a I think has actually done right as well um this season so far don't know if he play or not I I think Ben me will get in this time uh apparently Vandenburg will play set Vandenberg so could be him and me not me not actually me but the player been me will be playing tonight I'm sure um so yeah um I would think it's yeah possibly either Vandenburg and pinut or Vandenberg and me I would say that defense with G Su as well and possibly a um yeah um right let's go to [Music] uh hold on we just go back to the team we had before against Liverpool um yeah I don't want to see that again we lost 2-0 um hopefully that won't happen this time um yeah uh of course we had Fen and go I would think now we'll have somebody different you know fleen will be rested uh as much as I don't rate him either him or Ros left I think they both be rested um which may be a good thing and um I think inam Marson oh sorry valder Marson will come in now for this one I believe he will get a run out Val Marson um I still think I am might stay on the left I don't know I would say be um deputizing the course Rico Henry um yeah I would think so and I think on the right will be possibly Vandenberg I think he can play on the right um or J Su Kim I know he I'm pretty sure he can play on the right so maybe him and SE Vandenberg and possibly pinck or me at the back there I would say um the Midfield I think it would still be a mixture of um new and old um there'll probably be uh probably Yensen or norgard still playing I think we'll get a game here still um possibly LS poter might still play but then again he may still be rested for the Premier um you could give trevit a go um could bring him in yam definitely I think could get a go now and Cario definitely I'd love to see I mean obiously Thomas has said about carvalo I think he will play tonight so that'd be great um shardi I'm not sure he might he might play um I think DS guard for sure possibly Ona um it's going to be a real mixture I don't know I'm not sure about the front maybe I'd actually I'd leave himo out he was hor he was bad against Liverpool he's terrible I thought not his best um I'd leave him out this time maybe carry on with Visa maybe or uh you could have just one up front maybe visa and shardy behind or whatever um I think it's going be a totally different team definitely um I would go probably possibly go a 433 or something and really go at them I'd attack them uh you know it's cold just St don't don't park the bus you don't have to you know you can go on the attack this time and yeah if we go out we go out but I'd like to see us really go for a team and and not sit back and you know it's not Premier it's not Premiership this one let's go for him and let's let's try and and go on the front foot and be positive and attacking aggressive uh that that's what I feel you know I think we should do because we should be beating this team we should beat cester as good as they are decent as they are you know they are League two and they're not up to the standard so for me I think we beat them I mean I'm my prediction um I think it will be a tight one I don't think we're going to win by a load um I'm going to go 21 the Beast yeah two1 the beast but I think I think we should be winning it I'd like to see more I'd like to see say get three or four maybe but not totally sure that happen but that's what I'm primarily going for 21 um yeah there's no sort of predicted lineup that I could put on here so I can see but as I say it's going to be totally different of course um emry conut it did say as well so he'll be playing in Midfield and um yeah be a lot different the team Caro definitely and SE Vandenberg get their get their G goals here chances so yeah um I'm going to one I just think it it will be a bit tighter than it should be um I just feel I feel we should win easy enough but I don't know it's it's a it's a tough one to call because I feel we should win um I keep saying that but I still feel we should Colts are decent enough and they're you know League two but they are down there and okay you the stats be that that you know they're 17th but should be higher and should be better um but yeah we we should still have too much we we should have too much of this lot and um if we do lose we lose but you know I feel we want a good cut run I mean you know you know we could be winning this sort thing you know carabel cup we should be um we've yet to win a major Trophy and this should be something you know if we could win this this would be incredible but you know I'm I'm I'm you know I'm I'm not counting me chickens this yet anyway so I feel you know if we get a good run we get a good run at least and if we don't win it we don't win it but we're in it for a little while and um you know it's something else it's something else to to concentrate on rather than than just the premier so yeah we we can use our other players as well in this so so that's another good thing you know our other players get get a run out our Reserve sort of teams get get a run out so so that's another great thing for me um so anyway guys um don't look like there's any more comments um so unless anyone is still in here Hano Warren or Jord if you want to put your comment down or put a score down or prediction or ask a question or anything I'll do it fairly soon because I am going to bounce very very soon now uh follow me on there on Instagram at Mr B for life1 182 And subscribe to Mr B H Football chat and Mr B talks England cricket um so obviously I'll be doing a cricket one Fredy soon again another Cricket stream because obviously the second test starts tomorrow England oneing up against Shaner of course see if they can make it 2 nil would be fantastic and obviously win win the test Series so um but we'll see obviously I'll I'll do a review uh reaction stream for that uh when it's finished obviously the whole the whole test match is finished I'll I'll do an actual reaction stream so um yeah should be good and obviously other things coming out other as I say my debate shows is tomorrow now so I'll be bringing that bringing that to you tomorrow uh probably around I don't know 3 4 five even I don't know yet obviously I'm want to another stream as well tomorrow so that but that be about 8:00 so it definitely be well before that I think probably at least four or 5:00 maybe but obviously I'll let you all know and as I say it be a caribel cup special you know second round and then obviously the draw I believe think the draw is tonight yeah it is tonight so be interesting to see who um the other Premier teams get you know the teams coming into it in the third round be interesting to seeing if we're through uh see who we get if you know if we get another Premier team or whatever you know um would be interesting so um so we'll see obviously guys um see what happens tonight when I do the draw which probably be around 10ish I expect be very late um loads of games still on again tonight so not just the beast but um yeah yeah we we'll find out uh who goes through hopefully will as I said I'm going for 21 I'd love to see say 3 nil or 31 or 4-1 or something but um realistically I don't think it will be quite that um you know colster will will not give in easily will not go down we're out of fight and um yeah I think more re realistically it will be 2-1 um just hope we don't go out I'd love us to have a run in this you know next if we go out this it won't be till the FA Cup we get another um tournament another competition so and we're talking next year in January of course so it's a long way off so let's have a good run in this guys please let's do come on Lads we can do this we can actually get a decent run and um let's try and go go and win this tournament so um that'd be amazing sorry guys I'm just going a quick drink sorry a bit dry there the throat so um the mouth um yeah so so come on the Beast tonight we really want to win and um get into the third round and get another baby another possibly another Premier team so so I don't like there's anyone going to leave any more comments or any questions or anything else so um I'll probably go now guys um as I said the stream will be tomorrow debate on the the buzz that be tomorrow and um be plenty of other things coming transfer news of course and you know because obviously the transfer window closes on Friday I believe so yeah only a couple more days and U and it shut so you know we're going to be find out what's happening Tony possibly looks like he could be going to Saudi Arabia now that's what he's um he said yes to them uh just got to settle on a on a total now on a price on me pdon me we want we want 50 mil um hoping to get 50 mil for him uh they've already bid 42 million which we of course we we actually rejected because we want more and so so we should get more for him he's one of our best players bigger players you know should get at least 50 45 or something you know at least so you know we got to get some it for him we we just can't let him go for nothing you know so you know when he goes and obviously I'll bring out a stream uh to talk about that discuss that when he goes and where he goes and if well I'm sure he will go he is going no doubt um and then we'll see about our other players we're still getting one or two more in I believe at least a couple more um this um uh n not not Darwin Nunes Gustavo Nunes thankfully not Darwin he's a load of [ __ ] because arsal apparently were after him I see um i' have to be really stupid to get in Arsenal but you have got Arta and Eddy so what do you expect um that's a possibility uh but they say it's load of BS basically that that um that news that that talk about him he's a load of BS so I can believe that um yeah so anyway um yeah there'll be other obviously transfer streams about that um still hoping to get maybe at least Dar show would still be great if we can get in we really need to plug that defense really sort that out and if he comes in as well that'd be great uh there is another player we're after I can't really think of his name at the moment he's on fantina only 20 or something 21 um can't really think of his name at the moment IOD or something I think his name is so but anyway um obviously I'll discuss that more in the next
