FA Cup 4th Round - Who do you want?

[tubby]

Accrington or Fleetwood(if they win) as they are the only 2 grounds I haven't seen us play at (new Arsenal & Man City next season).

Six of today's team didn't start v. Reading reserves.

First teamers Murray, Baldock, Norwell, Poco all did. (and Manu & Ince)

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

6 PL teams knocked out so far, and as a minimum Sunderland or Burnley will join them.

So worst case, the albion is now the 14th highest placed team still in the competition.

Home to lower opposition.. let's have an easier one, keep the fringe squad players involved too.

Why on earth would anyone want the distraction of playing that lot up the road is beyond me! A lower league side at home please Bob.

We can't lose focus on the prize, and just imagine IF they did win the tie, it might give them a lift to stay up!

66-1 for us to win it.

Lets do the double

Reckon we'll get pantomime villain Barton back at the Amex

So, different team. Only five starters from the Reading failure kept their places and started yesterday.

I'd rather ask Rachel for 4 little ones and one big one for Wembley.

Plus she'd respect me for having no smuttiness in my request.

Without a shadow of doubt it will be Arsenal at home on 29th January. Live on BT Sport and we'll lose 2-3

Away draw against a PL team, play the reserves, get knocked out, crack on with the league.

Play the first team. I want to see which players can hold their own at the next level

This. We already have Cardiff and Newcastle games to re-arrange, and if we get through to the 5th round, that will put the kibosh on Barnsley away as well. We really don't need an end of season fixture pile up.

Because the longer we stay in the competition the more it becomes a focus. Hughton will feel pressured to play regular first teamers. Can you imagine playing Liverpool away in the 6th round and Hughton picking Towell over Stephens or not picking Murray or Knockaert? He may resist, but it will be a distraction we don't need. Also picking up an injury to March, Murphy or Hemed etc would also significantly weaken us. IMO the 4th or possibly 5th round is far enough. We need our first team focused and wrapped in cotton wool when they aren't playing in the championship.

I'd stick with the second stream team for the whole competition, unlikely, but if they do go all the way, they deserve to be in the final.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Don't mind, so long as the game of football is the winner.

 

[Albumen]

It'll be Millwall.

It's easy to make the case that the entire squad is 'different' from the middle of September.

I assume that's top sarcasm, well played.

 

[at15155]

big boy at home would be nice to see a Chelsea man city or united at the Amex

You'll see them there next year anyway so don't worry

 

[The Birdman]

Knock any PL side out at Amex it will test our set up for next season

 

[GoingUp]

I agree, as we seem to be in our top form, it would be good to see how we fare against a Premier League side.

 

[Blue3]

As long as it's not using to many of the regular first team and provides the second eleven with a worthwhile set of games then crack on lets go as far as we can so a lower league team at home please
