NaijaFox Posted 1 January Share Posted 1 January (edited) Give Canon and Doyle more playing time, but otherwise rotate as much as possible… Stolarczyk Choudhury, Coady, Vestergaard (Nelson), Doyle Praet*, Casadei, Yunus Albrighton, Cannon, Wanya *If Praet is still unfit, then regrettably Winks (Alves?)

Popular Post SecretPro Posted 1 January Popular Post Share Posted 1 January Weird not to be arsed about this because it's the FA Cup but I'd much prefer it not to be there and just to carry on momentum in the league. Useful that it takes up a slot instead of a league game whilst the Afcon boys are away though! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealingfox Posted 1 January Share Posted 1 January Keep it to 0-0 at half time and then check the Swansea score - if they're heading through then forfeit the match and take the week off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, the best thing about the game is according us a nearly 2-week break before the next league game. Otherwise, couldn’t be bothered.

Maybe we could actually win the FA Cup as a second tier side, ala Sunderland, Southampton, West Ham back in the day. Then we can embark on another European tour. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DJ Barry Hammond Posted 1 January Popular Post Share Posted 1 January You’d have to say, despite being a league below, we could and probably should consider ourselves to be inside the top 15 of teams in the country. Some of those teams ahead and around us will bow out at the third round stage, potentially strengthening our chances of winning the competition. It’s also a non-seeded draw based competition, allowing for a degree of luck in terms of passage through the competition, therefore… Shouldn’t we actually give the FA Cup a go, at least for now? Of course I don’t mean playing a full first 11 - but play a strong side, offering development opportunities where appropriate with a view to getting ourselves through this round and seeing where things lie after that? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbury Fox Posted 1 January Share Posted 1 January Seeing as KDH didn't play at all today, might he actually start this game? Wouldn't want him to go into the Cov game lacking match sharpness after 2 weeks off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobyfox Posted 1 January Share Posted 1 January I’m always usually one to say that both cup competitions are important. Ultimately trophies won are what any team is measured by. Being in the stadium when two league cups and the PL trophy were lifted and watching on telly as the FA Cup was lifted are the highlights of my supporting life. HOWEVER. The next game comes after a really heavy period of football. We’re fortunate to get through it, so far, without any run of injuries. It seems that only a significant number of injuries in our squad is the thing that would stop our push for promotion from here. Let’s protect some players and heavily rotate for the next game. I still want to win the game and I think our 2nd string are capable against Millwall. It also gives some of the squad players a game and gets them ready for the point when they’ll be needed. So a cup run is still to our advantage. If, however, we rotate and lose I’ll still think it was the right decision. We can reassess if we were to find ourselves in the QF further down the line 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear Of The Fox Posted 1 January Share Posted 1 January Best team possible please. We're comfortable at the top of the league, why not treat FA Cup as a major competition and also test our strength against the current PL sides? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won’t exactly be “testing our strength against the current PL sides” at Millwall on Saturday. IMHO, simply treat each game on its own merits.
