Team v Woking (A)

[The Ringleader Returns!]

Who would you play? Reserves or a strong line up? I'd go for...

Brezovan
Calderon Elphick Dunk Painter
Batti Dicker Smith
Bennett Barnes Baz.​

I'd go with that. Although maybe have Bridcutt in midfield and Smith instead of Bennett.

As much as a nice 3rd round tie would be (if we get through 1st and 2nd rounds!), I just dont feel its worth risking someone like Elliot unless its desperate in the last 10/15 mins. The same goes for Calderon and Paints, but theres less capable back up for them.

Whoever doesn't play on Saturday.

 

[Arkwright]

Just play the strongest side and progress to the next round.

We'd love a good cup run, so stop fannying around with fringe players, if we'd have put out the regular starting XI we would not have to worry about a reply and fixture congestion.

Gus is a fantastic manager but I do feel he's mucked up in the cups this year.

 

[Beach Hut]

Think Dicker needs a rest for a game or so and re-charges his batteries

 

[oldboyroy]

think we should go with our strongest team that we would play if it were a league game... fringe players have had a chance and have not done the job so lets get the win at Woking and a 2nd round tie

 

[BensGrandad]

One change from yesterday Bennett in for Dicker to add a little more creativity and give Dicker a rest. Dicker will not have such a bad game as he did yesterday for a long time in the future. If the rumour about Elphick is correct get him out and bring in Greer or El Abd. There can only be 1 boss.

 

[Husty]

Give LuaLua a half on saturday and then a half against woking, that 'll seal it for us, but most importantly, just motivate the players and give a f***, dont sit in the dug out for 90 minutes, and we'll win, the players yesterday were fine, it was the management that wasn't

 

[Turkey]

Brezovan
Calderon Elphick Dunk Painter
Sparrow Battipiedi Bridcutt
Smith
Murray Barnes
​

Ankergren
Calderon - Greer - El Abd - Painter
Bennett - Kishi - Bridcutt - Dicker
Barnes - Murray​

Don't believe in this rotating nonsense.
Professional players should be fine to play two games a week, every once in a while.

 

[BensGrandad]

Cannot understand all the shouts for Smith as he does nothing for me and when he came on yesterday just pumped balls into the box certainly not an able deputy for Bennett.

 

[Husty]

Newcastle haven't allowed us to play him for the FA Cup

Wasn't aware of that, in which case, rest Bennett for a half assuming we are comfortable, and play him against Woking, we just need that extra spark to take them apart, and obviously the motivation of the manager

 

[brightonmark1234]

i feel we should play the team that we play at hartlepool but without lua lua

 

[Mackenzie]

1. Brezovan
2. Calderon
3. Painter
4. Bridcutt
5. Elphick
6. Dunk
7. Bennett
8. Barnes
9. Murray
10. Kishischev
11. Baz


4-4-2 Baz on the left.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Brezovan
Calderon, Dunk, Elphick, Painter
Bennett, Sparrow, Bridcutt, Battipiedi
Barnes, Murray

Bench
Sandaza, Poke, Baz, Dicker, Kishishev, Jamie Smith, El-Abd

Same team as saturday, Make them attone for the disappointment of yesterday.

 

[kingcole]

I really think we should play Casper. I know Brez took a bit of praise for his performance yesterday, but our tippy tappy game was not there, and Casper is a fundmental part of that.

We have shown before than we can switch players around, we have done many times this season and still kept our shape. I really think that currently our game starts with our keeper.

 

[Spicy]

I would prefer to win the league rather than have a long run in the F.A. Cup. It would be embarrassing to lose to Woking but I don't think we can do both. In 1983, when we got the FA Cup final we were bottom of the league, so it was great to have a Cup run but I would not want to lose the chance of promotion this season for a few rounds in the Cup.

 

[kingcole]

losing to Woking would affect the current winning mentality we have.

For us a cup run means getting to Round 4. I think our boys can handle an extra 3 games over the next 10 weeks?

 

[Notters]

It's all about attitude; if they want to win it then they will. In that respect Gary Hart is probably a good choice.
