Looking Ahead to Hull

[LamieRobertson]

A number of things to remember;

Brezovan has played the cup games.
Ulloa hasn't played any cup games.
Upson has not missed a game since joining.
Stephens is cup tied.

With this in mind, I expect kemy, obika and Brezovan to come in for kuzsack, stephens and ulloa with the rest the same as Tuesday. Personally, I would like the same team as Tuesday but Kemy/caskey replacing Stephens.

Upson missed the cup game against Reading

 

[Footsoldier]

In todays Argus Kooshack says he's playing on monday or am I missing something.

 

[n1 gull]

It will piss me off if he doesn't, isn't he our most expensive player, why have him sitting in the stands?

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Koosh
Bruno/Calderon
Greer
Upson
Ward
Ince
JFC
Orlandi
Buckley
S.D2
Ulloa

Subs: Brez, Dunk(or calde if bruno is fit), Andrews, Kemy, Lua Lua, March, Obika

We've got to go for it! There's a place in the quarter finals up for grabs, there's five days until our next game so no need to rest anyone. Go for the jugular and attack attack attack! If we're going to get knocked out, lets go out swinging.

 

[Mellotron]

Ulloa needs games at the moment. Kusz doesn't need "resting" when the games aren't that close together. Too important and too much money at stake to play Brez and not play Leo now. Play Brez and Obika and we will lose.

 

[brightonmark1234]

Really can't argue with this selection in all fairness.

feel he might swap ulloa with obika

 

[GreersElbow]

Wouldn't mind seeing Rodriquez start, hoping CMS will be fit enough for the bench. Rest Ulloa. Obika and Rodriquez start, CMS bench.

 

[Goldstone1976]

"Peter Brezovan is likely to continue his run in goal during this year's competition, having played in the previous two rounds."

So, we're clearly not going to put out a full strength side. Makes me wonder if Leo will be playing - perhaps not then?

We're sure to play our strongest side aren't we? Its getting to the point in the cup where the prize and gate money could make a significant difference to our finances.

Hull have a real six pointer against Cardiff the following match so I'm guessing they'll not want to risk anyone who are carrying knocks or are important to their league campaign. The riches for PL survival massively outweigh FA Cup glory (unfortunately). Hull will play a second string, which will still be very good....but not quite AS good. We must go for it.

Tomasz Kuszczak

Calderon~Gordon Greer~Matthew Upson~Stephen Ward

Keith Andrews~Ince~Orlandi

Rodriguez~Ulloa~March​

Subs: Walton, Chicksen, Buckley, Lualua, Lopez, Dunk, Craig Mackail-Smith

I'd keep Buckley and Lualua up my sleeve until 65 minutes. Shame Stephens is cup tied but Andrews is an adequate replacement.

 

[Goldstone1976]

Apart from the fact that the club have already said that Brez is as good as playing..... see my post directly above yours!

 

[Giraffe]

One things for sure it's not going to be a high goal scoring match. Last four matches between the teams read 1-0, 0-1, 0-0, 0-0. And without their two new strikers who are cup tied they are almost as toothless as we are.

Possibly, although I wouldn't be giving the opposition any clues. In fact I'd probably try and indicate we were playing a weakened team as well!



(I wonder if big Pete will be doing a prematch interview?)

Yeah, I wondered that too. I guess we'll find out on Monday!

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I also find it quite amusing how so many of us (myself included) are happy to be potentially one game away from Wembley, yet if ever the debate about FA Cup semi-final venues comes up on here, the majority are totally against them being held there

I guess we'd all be nearly as excited about a semi-final at Villa Park/Emirates/Anfield though.

I'd rather the semi was not at wembley whether we get there or not. Devalues the final. I wouldn't be any less excited playing a semi at say villa park. But we're a long way off that yet.

 

[mreprice]

Do you think it will matter who we are drawn against? A stronger team for a more winnable game?

 

[Dick Head]

Beat Hull
Play Sheff Wed at The Amex in the quarters. Win.
Play Southampton in the semi's at Wembley. Win.
Play Man City in the final. Lose 5-1.

Play Man City in the final. Draw 0-0.
Lose 5-1 in the replay.

 

[brightonmark1234]

what ever team we play i worry about where the goals are going to come from as we don't look like scoring and we move the ball far too slow

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

One things for sure it's not going to be a high goal scoring match. Last four matches between the teams read 1-0, 0-1, 0-0, 0-0. And without their two new strikers who are cup tied they are almost as toothless as we are.

4-4 then..

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Can we please put out a competetive team, as in the one that has won the last 2 games, the money that's on offer by getting through must be an incentive for the club?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Let's rest a few kids and try Spanish Dave central! Ince & Ullo should be wrapped in cotton wool for this one as we need to hit Wigan hard on Saturday!
