I see The Cup is now of so little significance that nobody’s even commented on today’s match yet. I’ve always loved The Cup but scrapping replays was the final nail in the coffin. For smaller clubs, replays were the magic.

I still love the Cup and enjoyed the First Round match against Plymouth. This tie isn’t one to get hearts racing but it’s a great chance to get through to the hallowed Third Round.

I wonder if the fringe players have blown their chance, or whether a few will get another bite at the cherry given the league is likely our priority.

Duff played our B Team on Tuesday and we were pretty poor.

I reckon we will see the full first team start today with an eye on resting 5 of them around 60-70 mins for Tuesday night

Game is also on BBC Radio Devon

Sadly, we won’t be seeing Ewan Henderson today as his toe injury is expected to keep him out for about a month. Chance for Jamie Mullins to have his best game yet. And good to have Luke Leahy back, assuming he has managed to stay clear of the bugs that have depleted the squad over the last couple of weeks.

Hope everyone who has travelled has a great day. Other commitments ruled this out for the Good Lady Teacher Her Indoors and myself so radio commentary it is.

It’s the cup, COYB.

Tuesday night has to take priority, so I think most of the first teamers will be on the bench.

COME ON WYCOMBE!

Didn’t realise Henderson was injured, I thought he was one of those who were ill.

A great shame as he so influential in this side.

We should play our strongest team today, and I expect Duff to do just that.

Strongest team we could put out in Duffs eyes.

Exeter will be desperate to go through and draw a big team away from home to add much needed turnover.

Definitely can’t complain about that lineup.

Only sensible strategy really, getting into that 3rd round draw is always a great moment in the season.

Dreams of a huge draw.

Before obviously pulling out Port Vale away or something similar.. .

Nice touch.

I actually think in the world we live in it’s a real shame we can’t watch it on the telly.

Possibly alone with this view, but I bet it’s one of Exeter’s lowest Saturday gates of the season anyway, and I won’t be sat at home listening on the radio because it’s the year 2025, won’t be travelling to Exeter for a full day out so close to crimbo and preferring to save some cash so it’s actually making me have less interest in the cup indirectly.

Why not make it a tenner on TV, I’d pay, and the money can go to Exeter as the home team.

Oh well!

Agreed, utterly bizarre. Every EFL club has the infrastructure to do it, it happens every week.

If it was being live-streamed on different subscription based channel I’d understand it, but making it totally unwatchable across the globe is nonsensical.

I absolutely agree, it’s mad.
