ladyspite 381 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 --------------Mejias--------------- Kalas--Gibson--Nando--Husband ------Forshaw------Leadbitter------ Adomah-----Fabbrini-----De Pena -----------------Kike------------------- Can see us playing that team, it would be daft to put a team of reserves out which will clearly get beat, that wont do much for confidence. We need to stay in the cup IMO, its the only way the likes of De Pena, Fabbrini, Forshaw, Husband and Mejias will get any first team football. Make too many changes and Burnley will beat us comfortably. Hope Champan gets a chance off the bench, would be interesting to see if Carayol gets a game, if he doesnt make the bench I think we can assume he has no future here. With a bit of luck Woodgate will be fit, would be good to give both Gibson and Ayala a rest. With Zuculini and Stephens going back we are starting to look a little bit short in midfield, would expect that to be the priority in the window (Probably the lad from Bolton) Comfortable home win if we put a strongish team out, Burnley will make changes too and they didnt look much good when we played them a few weeks ago, 2-0 Boro De Pena x2 *Also great prices for the game, would be great to see a 15k plus crowd, the team deserve it! was the champan by accident or witty? :) Hugs Link to post Share on other sites

chipchat 61 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Would love Morris to be involved. Show AK he can be our midfield cover. Chapman too for at least a bench spot. Link to post Share on other sites

However I like the FA Cup, if we get knocked out first time of asking so be it but the potential to progress and get a big name in a later round would be great, to be honest I would like to get Everton at home again so we can show them that we are better than what they faced in the Carling Cup quarter final Link to post Share on other sites
Borodan 16 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm going to go to this, haven't been for a couple of weeks. When I was buying a ticket online, the amount of green on the stadium map was a bit disappointing. Can't see much of a crowd for this one unfortunately. Hope we stay in the cup, mainly for the chance of a big home draw but it gives us a chance to give certain players a much deserved run out. Link to post Share on other sites

I have heard a few people say oh let's get a big team in the next round, Our aim is to play big games every week next season. Link to post Share on other sites

Couple of lower league teams. Trip to Wembers for the SF Link to post Share on other sites

There's no doubt though that with favorable draws we can go far. Next season you'll be worrying about consolidating. Link to post Share on other sites
MBG42 312 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 To be fair we have played lots of big clubs recently in the cups so I don't feel we need to draw any this season round. The only draw I want to see if we go through is vs Newcastle or Sunderland. Link to post Share on other sites
Air Resistance 26 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Id like to play Chelsea. Shame aitor never got to do over Jose but would still be an interesting tie. Link to post Share on other sites
