    What team would you play for the game game against Ipswich in the FA cup.

    My team:

    Lee
    Mariappa,Sh***u,Avinel,Powell
    Robinson,Mahon,Douglas Rinaldi
    Ashikodi,Priskin,Kabba

    Subs:Chamberlain,DeMerit,Parkes,L.Henderson,Francis

    I feel we cant afford to play all of our big players as any injury at this stage of this season wouldnt help our survival push.Also with Cavalli doing well yesterday(West Ham) I dont feel it would be a huge risk playing Douaglasinho and Avinel after we saw how well Cavalli did, and also feel Theo Robinson deserves his first start after how well he's done for the reserves.

    sorry mate, have to disagree.

    Full strength team, keep up the momnetum as the new players need to gel and only first team action can do this.

    We tend to play badly after a long break, so playing a team like you have picked breaks up the momentum.

    We have enough cover in he squad to bring players in.

    We are going to win the FA CUP - 40/1 with william hill, any one know better odds?

    Can understand why would play a strong team because I am sort of stuck on whether I would play a strong team or not ,because like you say we have to gel all our signings but then I wouldnt want any big players getting injured as our premiership status is more important then the FA cup imo.

    Aidy will do his usual - play a team that he feels is capable of winning. Will probably be a mixture of your team and a full strength team.

    Lee

    Mariappa, Shittu, mackay, parkes

    Williams, Mahon, bangura, boozer

    Priskin,ashikodi

    subs: foster, demerit, kabba, hendo, cavalli
     
  6. Timbers

    Timbers Apeman

    Foster

    Mariappa
    Shiittu (Malky rested)
    Jay
    Powell (Jordan deserved rest)

    Smith
    Bangura
    Francis
    Carvilli

    Hendo
    Kabba

    Subs
    Lee
    Doyley
    Priskin
    Hoskins
    Ashikodi

    Mahon, Stewart andMalky rested, otherwise full strengh. Lee has had enough games to keep him fit, not worth risking a keeper change for a big cup game

    Don't forget Hull are lower in the league and we weren't exactly convincing against them in the League Cup even with a full strength team.

    Best to play our best team (with maybe a couple of modifications, like Powell and Chambers taking over as the full backs) just to keep the momentum going.

    Play the strongest team and lets all go on a Wembley Tour. Get the ball rolling, we can't afford spirit to drop. The Man Utd game crucified the confidence and we were lucky to have the not so Happy Hammers to bail us out.

    Bad result against Ipswich and the pressure is back on. Full throtle on Aidy.

    Surely we need to win this one. It is very important to keep momentum.

    Anyone know what's up with Boozer?

    Anyways:

    Lee

    Doyley
    Shittu
    Demerit
    Powell

    Smith
    Mahon
    Williams
    Boozer

    Kabba
    Hendo

    Subs: Priskin, Moses, Cavalli, Mariappa, Chambers

    My rationale for this is we need to win. But we also need to get some of the new fellas into the side. Hoskins and Williamson are tied - am unsure about Williams.

    I still chose Kabba and Hendo up front as they seem to be developing a partnership and one more match before the key game v. Wigan will be good for them. Maybe just 45 minutes each so they're fresh. I'd love to see Priskin and Moses get a run in and maybe Chambers if he's fit.

    what is the odds on us reaching the final? they might be a better bet or even a bet on us qualifying for the UEFA cup (via the cup not the league of course!)

    all or nothing when it comes to gambling. win big, lose small.
     
  17. UEA_Hornet

    Just bet eachway on us winning. A quarter of 80/1 would be 20/1.
     
  18. PaddingtonsYellowArmy

    PaddingtonsYellowArmy First Team Captain

    not sure if they do it that way for the cup.
     
  19. UEA_Hornet

    Just checked. We were both wrong. Skybet, for example, will give 1/2 the odds if you back Watford to win the FA Cup eachway and they reach "the first 2 places" (ie the Final). Not bad...

    yeah, thats how i thought it was for cup tornaments. my all or nothing quote was about how i bet - each way doesn't do it for me gambling wise, females is a different matter.
