[Albion] Brentford or Leicester?

[BluesRockDJ]

Brentford.

Never like playing against teams in the same division in the cups.

And you were impressed today ?

 

[BluesRockDJ]

Either way it’s winnable as it’s the cup and we have no idea what players will play. All three teams have something to play for outside of this game. This makes it a winnable game for all three.
Tough one to predict I reckon.
Certainly the best team went through today

You having a laugh ? Barn door and hitting spring to mind !

 

[Is it PotG?]

Leicester City.

Get out and focus on survival.

 

[maresfield seagull]

I'd prefer Leicester, as Brentford have always been a bit of a bogey side for us, and it would be nice to beat Leicester.

It’s the FA cup Garry. Nelson s wonder goal at Griffin park

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Brentford but only because I think both will rest a few keys players and Leicester's fringe players will be better than Brentford's.

 

[Mackenzie]

Brentford because relative to Leicester, they are shit.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Both would be very hard games, and in the score predictor either home team would be favourites.

I’d rather lose to a top team than one below us, so

Leicester for me.

No, just being realistic.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Brentford, because we will definitely lose against Leicester.

 

[blue-shifted]

Brentford, because we will definitely lose against Leicester.

Yes

Obviously

Brentford away is a 50/50 game

Leicester away more like 80/20 .... and not in our favour

 

[Invicta]

Brentford, but wouldn't be confident either way!

Brentford, because we will definitely lose against Leicester.

Depends what team Leicester field. Don't forget they are in the title race and will see that as more important. Even Champions League place will be seen as more important. Of course the other side of the coin is what team will we field? If we beat Fulham and maybe nick a point off Spurs, that will put us in good stead for the games against Burnley, Villa Palace and WBA so Potter may risk a stronger cup team.

 

[vagabond]

Leicester away isn’t insurmountable.

Especially under Potter. Our away record is very good. We would certainly give them a good game.

 

[OzMike]

Brentford and blunder our way to the next round.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Ha ha! Talk about

It's obviously Lester. Poor recent form. Players out of salts. Shit manager. Chairman wanting to cell the club. Bringy ton.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Leicester away isn’t insurmountable.

Especially under Potter. Our away record is very good. We would certainly give them a good game.

In the second half, most likely.

 

[sydney]

I've plummed for Brentford but at the same time think it would be the harder game.

we made hard work of newport and blackpool , brentford would be a veritable mountain .

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Brentford.

Based on both having the league on their mind. Leicester are in the title race and certainly the top four race. That's a bigger prize for them than the F.A cup.

Brentford are currently fourth with games in hand on the teams above them. They lost the play off final this year, they won't want to miss out on automatic promotion this time around.

So I think both teams will play weakened teams and it stands to reason that Leicester have a stronger squad than Brentford, therefore let's go with Brentford. Also, I'm buoyed by Swansman bringing up the fact that Potter has got the better of them in his three previous matches.

Let's get to the quarters and then go for it!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Leicester away isn’t insurmountable.

Especially under Potter. Our away record is very good. We would certainly give them a good game.

Just like we did earlier this season?

 

[Perfidious Albion]

On the day no doubt I will be urging the Albion to win, but really , this season how much of a cup run do we want?
The memories of '83 still linger when we had a cup final but were relegated and plunged downwards for years.
If we were comfortable in the league then fine, we could go for glory in the Cup but since we are battling for every league point we can muster I would rathe lose to a top 6 side like Leicester and save our energy for the league.

 

[nicko31]

Brentford, its about promotion this season for them...
