Happy to beat Watford then bow out in 5th round of Cup?

[The Sock of Poskett]

Glancing at the 4th round draw and the number of all Premiership ties, there will be a maximum of 10 Premiership clubs in the Fifth round (possibly less if 3rd round replays spring a surprise or two).

Given that the Watford tie is potentially winnable (albeit a tough one), would you be happy for us to go out in the 5th round and concentrate on promotion?

Or could this be such an open Cup tournament, we might suddenly fancy our chances of getting a fair bit further?

On balance, provided we give a good account of ourselves, I wouldn't be that bothered if we lost at Watford. But if we won, and got a winnable draw in the next round ... it would be fun to have a bit of a cup run wouldn't it?

And if His Gus-ness uses our squad as sharply as he's managed so far, it *might* not have to affect our promotion push ... ?

What d'ya reckon?

I think we might bow out in the group stage of next Season's Europa League.

I think we'll bow out against Watford. I'd take us getting any further!

I think Gus will decide if we want to try and go past Watford, my guess is he will think its too hard a tie to risk a strong team and will field mostly reserves.

If we get past Watford, is our TV match v Plymouth cancelled on the Monday after round 5 day?

Let's hope so, it'll serve them right for dicking us about and postponing our game down there.

well tbh i would prefer our big ' glamour' away day next round if we past Watford . roll in the cash and concentration on promotion
i love the fa cup and always want us to win ( obviously ) but this year i really think the league is so much more important than in recent seasons

In a very selfish way I hope it finishes at Watford as I will miss the 6th round.

Oh yes will go to that.

Apart from that it would be better to concentrate on the league now as we have a terrific chance to get automatic promotion.

 

[Northstander]

for this year only, let's let it go, concentrate our efforts on going up!! Next year we can focus a little on the FA Cup, too much to lose this year!

 

[footychick]
