MidleastBoro 30 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Interesting team. Not our strongest, but will give Karanka an opportunity to check out L. Williams (and R. Williams at centre back) in a relatively low pressure environment. Hoping for a win but I'd rather we were knocked out than taken to a replay. Why? Why would I rather we were knocked out than taken to a replay? Because I would rather we moved further up the league and made a push for the play-offs than had a mini cup run, and I think having a midweek replay would be detrimental to that.

Downsouth 6,326 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 It should not as it is a FA Cup tie and the right to transmission are not the same I believe. What is the full bench anyone? Link to post Share on other sites
Boroboy1980 6 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Are we not permitted to use Given or Ayala? What about Carayol? I'd prefer Juke. Link to post Share on other sites

MidleastBoro 30 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'm not happy. I was under the impression we were taking the cup seriously and would be fielding our strongest team. I think keeping the winning (or not losing) mentality is important, as us keeping our strongest 11 getting more games together. Dimi - Strongest available Varga - Strongest available Gibson - First Team R.Williams - Opportunity to impress Friend - Strongest available Leadbitter - Strongest available Whitehead - Strongest available Ledesma - Strongest available Emnes - First team and arguable strongest available L.Williams - Opportunity to impress Main - In and around first team all season. Not sure how much stronger you wanted the team to be? Only Woodgate, Adomah and Juke missing that would make it our strongest available XI. Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,939 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 So is Boro+ gonna be on or not? It'll be a disaster if they leave it on just tees, a lot of our non-UK friends pay good money for Boro+ for all games... i've got no commentary yet. Link to post Share on other sites

Its the FA cup not some mickey mouse competition, nobody wants to be knocked out. Also its only January not really a crunch time of the season for a fixture pile up, just wish for a win the same as all boro fans and if its a draw we`ll beat them down there. Come On Boro....
