AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The view on this board of the FA Cup is incredibly depressing. God forbid a chance to win a trophy Not in previous years, usually we're desperate to win it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I cannot think of any viable reason for throwing the FA Cup like. We've had a patchy run of form, we'll get over it. Please don't lose on purpose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Definitely want a cup run, we've had enough years of deliberately throwing it. The League Cup run this year has got me wanting it more than ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Would winning this tie postpone our match with Brighton? Or we lose and Brighton win? Don't fancy playing them at the end of the month even with Shelvey back. Would rather go into that match on a good run of form, maybe with the African cup of nations done by then and a few helpful signings that have adapted to team.

If either of us are in the 4th round, then the match will be postponed and played at a later date (so midweek you'd guess or a future FAC weekend with no fixtures arranged).

I'm sure I read it somewhere. Think Brighton will win against MK Dons so hope the match does get pushed back. A draw wouldn't be the worst result with that Brentford game in mind.

It will definitely be midweek. Brighton (a) is scheduled for 4th round weekend, Villa (h) for 5th round weekend, and Fulham (h) for 6th round.

relámpago blanco Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Mitro needs a game or we should sell him. It is not fair on him. He has done pretty well when he has played but Rafa doesn't fancy him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 would rather draw than win. really have to get shelvey back asap for the league. Won't make any difference mate. The only league game he will miss is Brentford, regardless of what we do in the cup he'd be back for brentford as he'd have missed 3 league games and 2 in the cup. the replay would be before brentford.

Please don't lose on purpose Same here. Rafa for me is our best bet of winning a cup, obviously it won't happen this year, but we are still good enough to have a cracking good run and still get promoted at the same time. I'm desperate to get through to the next round, for me the FA Cup still matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, I thought this as well as they were fannying on confirming what would happen to Brentford if a replay was necessary and there was a suspicion it might not be played that weekend at all. Seems to have been confirmed that if either team needs a replay the game will now revert to the Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Any chance of Elliott being back for this? I reckon the league cup helped our league form earlier so I'm all for a cup run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 My team. Darlow. Or Elliot if ready. I'd love to give Selz another chance, but I'm changing the defence so need confidence in the man in goal. Yedlin. Lazaar. I haven't seen enough to have too much confidence, but if he's going to do it, now would be a nice time. Or Gamez Mbemba. Take your chance mate. Clark. Consistent performer, Mbemba can take confidence from him. Hayden. Gotta be getting them tackles in and laying it off to: Anita. Quick, precise passing. Will need to be on his game, but I think Rafa would trust him. Ritchie. Any other options?? Peres. Ditto. Gouffran. Or Sameobi. I'll trust rafa as to whether Sameobi is ready, if not I'd go with mr. steady and reliable (at this level). Mitro. Or just sell him and buy Wilson before he's cup-tied. Bench. Selz, Lascelles, Gayle, Sam or Gouff, Gam or Lazaar, Could maybe play Sameobi on the right and switch Ritchie to the no10. *edit-Looking at it, that could be overly aggressive, but it's the cup. There's really nothing to lose, other than the opportunity of a morale boosting away win. Even if we beat them 6-0 with that, I'd be happy to revert to normal for the next game. Provided we have replaced Colback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
