FA Cup 3rd Round Draw - Stevenage (a) weekend of 8th January 2011


Recommended Posts

He didn't go full strength against Plymouth in last year's 3rd round, so I can't imagine he'll do it this time sadly.

Hoping for a mixed team personally. About half the team first teamers, the rest youngsters. Would really like to see Tiote and Vuckic at CM. Obviously depending on our injury situation and form by then as well of course.

 

Much will depend on how league results go between now and then, as to how many first choicers he'll risk.

Ideal situation would be to be way ahead of target for survival and therefore able to have a full on go at the FA cup.

Shepherd was right. Their shithole wasn't fit to stage the tie. 2 turnstiles for approximately 2000 away fans was a joke which led to hundreds not getting in until well into the match thus missing Shearer's goal.

 

Fat Fred did enormous damage to our reputation with his actions

 

At least we learnt the lesson and when we played Yeading we treat them properly - slagging off a non-league team 'cos it has a grotty ground is just ridiculous

the point was that they agreed with it until sky offered them money to stage it live, so one moment they agreed with our safety concerns then they don't cos they have a fist full of fivers. fat fred was right on this occasion.

If Tiote's not injured then, there's NO WAY he should be risked, at all.

 

I imagine it will  be a mixture selected, Williamson, Perch, Loven and Ranger getting game time, and youngsters like Vuckic, Ferguson and Tavernier having a role to play

Really, really want to go to this but really, really don't think I will get a ticket.

 

You're local,  aint you?  If you don't mind going in the home end,  it'll be easy enough.  Theres a voucher in the Northampton program (if you know someone who can get you one) to let you buy tickets a day before general sale.
