    We shall undoubtedly put out our best available team at Villa, then a shadow team at Tranmere. Should we progress, the Man U game is less three days later so it seems likely that at least some of the ‘first team’ will play in it, given that there is nearly another week before the Everton game. If we were to win we would be beyond the possibility of any further replays and in the last 16 so it could start to get serious again if the league form was still good.

    The 5th round would be the mid week before our game at Palace I think in March ?

    It’s appalling what the FA have allowed to happen to their premier competition.

    Blimey! When bet365 covered all games in the championship it was only a £10 to register with them (& a vpn as they wouldn't stream in the UK).

    Hopefully Sarr will be fit enough for this one

    He's got to start. Injury or not. (I know I did a full stop - but I thought it needed more emphasis).

    Point me to an example when it back fired? When is the last example of a big player picking up an injury in the FA Cup?

    Yes, I know. Some will say Rashford was carrying an injury, and didn't need to play. I counter that by saying he was carrying two injuries. As Ole knows - two wrongs do make a right (- * - = +), so it was the clear no brainer to play him.

    To risk his only good attacking player was a risk, but one worth taking - even knowing that with the injuries he was carrying there was an 85% chance he wouldn't play for rest of the season.

    Play Sarr. Follow Ole. He has proven he knows how to manage a team.

    He's got to start. Injury or not. Full Stop.

    (I accidentally deleted this). I realise by reposting now it looks lame. But I want to put context for the bracketed comment after my first bit. Although no one will remember this after the Villa game so I should just let it lie and move on...

    Play a few of the useless ***** from tonight I say. They are useless without Sarr pace so grind the fookers into the dirt.
     
  12. Just throw the game last thing we need is the distraction.

    FFS.....not another game. We'll lose on dramatic penalties after being 2-0 ahead in the shoot out.

    Winning 3-0 at half time...…..far too boring....let's make it an exciting 3-3 draw. Force a replay...….throw the lead away in the final minute in this as well.....just to torment the fans some more. Then start winning the shoot out, but miss the final 2 to lose. Excellent 3rd FA Cup job done.

    I'm hoping we get to see lots of the younger players. I don't want to risk ANYONE we need for the league.

    (happy for Gray to start)

    In a strange way, winning this game and the chance to face a weakened United side at home might be just what we need. Even in their current state, potentially beating United (and I’d fancy we would) still means something and might well be the confidence builder we need after tonight.

    That said, if we lose on Thursday, I’ll not be bothered.

    I'm torn by this game.

    I always want us to win.

    But if we win (even with our youth team) we risk injuring players we need to stay up in the game on Saturday. If we get through i'd rather be embarrassed by Man U and pick up point/s in the league.

    Fair point. I hadn’t considered the impact of injuries.

    Yep. We're not trying to win the cup, so why bother staying in it.

    Initially I did not care for this game but I am still so pissed off about last night I think a win would ease that irritation a tiny bit.

    Man U will probably hope we win as they ceratainly won't want to play on Tranmere's pitch !

    Can hear the excuses and complaining now..
