    Totally agree. I would also not let the wimps come out to z cars, just a cauldron of boos.

    I’d like to think QSF would have the balls to play the gutless plodders on Tuesday but sadly he won’t

    Swansea are still all in white, and their players will therefore be 1.5x the speed of ours

    Our young reserves will give a masterclass on how to play without fear and win in style. :)

    Then we can all revert to the gutless old men plodders for Wolves and I can continue in my 4th stage of grief - depression :(

    Another tough night for the limp wristed hornets.

    0-2 down in the first 20 mins leading to a humbling 1-4 final score.

    Brutal.

    Swansea know a bit about showing heart in football matches against supposedly 'superior' opposition.

    They will look at their own bloody decent performance against City a few months back, look at our couple of gutless surrenders since then, and quite rightly see a tie against us as being there for the taking.

    I'm not one of those who thinks Flores should put a first choice XI out for this. Play the kids and fringe players. Tell them it's an opportunity to show they deserve to be selected ahead of the useless sods who apart from one solitary 45 minutes, have downed tools since the Wolves semi final.

    The problem is if you do that they have a ready made excuse why the same old cowards must play Saturday. The reserves will be too tired after midweek.

    There's a difference between a post on a forum and watching a player skip past you as you amble back to watch him effortlessly tuck it past your grinning keeper

    This game is massive trousers pulling down territory. Can’t wait.

    Option 1: play the fringe players who weren't implicated in the 21st September Massacre. They play well, salvage some pride for the club, but we are told that the key players from the performance can't play Saturday because there is too much intensity for them to play twice in a week.

    Option 2: play the cowards from Saturday. Watch them give a grinning, gutless performance as Swansea smell blood and secure a humiliating upset to add insult to injury. Friday's press conference focuses around questions on changing for Wolves, but Quique reveals that the likes of Quina, Welbeck and Sarr are all fit, but not quite right yet because they haven't had enough minutes, so apart from Kabasele for Mariapppa and Pererya in for Foulquire, the same side goes to wolves.

    This is maybe already been covered, but is Wilmot allowed to play against us? Though even if he is, I can't imagine he'd be picked under the circumstances.

    What a cracking choice of loan by the club. Another one of our excellent recent decisions.

    Yep. Another career being destroyed. In a few years time after 18 more loans, he'll get the Success treatment and be accused of not giving a ****.

    I'm drinking Bailey's right now. Should I buy a copy of the Daily Sport and see what's available?

    More of a very mild internal smile to oneself than a full bellied laugh.
    Anything to change the apocalyptic post City mood on here.

    Much like Marc Navarro, ripping it up at Leganes with his one start, one sub appearance then dropped from the squad and never seen since!

    Either of these two options would make me very happy but I'm sure they make far too much sense for Watford to ever consider going with.

    Gomes, Dawson, Femenia & Success to start. Yay.
