And if Murphy and Anderson were fit, them too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Got a feeling we will murder these today. Think we will be at them from first minute. Dreaming of a spurs style demolition in first 20 minutes. I also think our recent bad form will be a motivator for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Disconcertingly relaxed here. Not out of confidence. Think the fact it’s a cup game makes it feel a bit less important, particularly after the relegation six pointer league games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpingel Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Particularly for this season being an FA Cup match increases the importance. We need to win a trophy in my lifetime and this squad is capable of achieving that this year. It's a must get through tie with its importance heightened by our opponents.

Could probably VPN it but feel it's better emotionally to try and distract myself, it's the first time I've ever been with my fiancé on her birthday. Determined not to ruin it for her.

Not to turn this into a VAR discussion, but watching that one of my first thoughts was how much better enjoying those goals was without any VAR doubt. Ridiculous day, felt like I couldn't believe what was happening. It being in the context of being newly promoted made it extra enjoyable too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 This should be a comfortable win for us, they are a decent Championship side at best and we have better players than them in every position on the pitch. Unlike a usual cup tie against a lower league team, this isn’t one where only one side should be treating it as a cup final and motivated to shine. If Howe can’t motivate the players today to come away with the win then any stores credit in the bank for him will be gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
