FA Cup - 4th & 5th Round Draw

[Ric Flair]

Happy with that draw, Brentford are a Championship side and we are in the top 3 of the PL. Won't be easy but given some of the teams left in the draw when that was selected it's not bad at all. We are also exceptional away from home this season.

Someone at the club stated teams target this season was to win a trophy for vichai. So hopefully take this serious

Feels like a game where we won't be able to rest Vardy if we wanna progress but yeah it's certainly favourable

Absolutely no chance from us.

 

We'll be fielding the strongest team possible - mark my words. 

 

 

Look at the fixture list gents. Stoke game was ideal for us having a week before our next game so could easily play a strong XI. 

Our game v Brentford will be carbon copy from last year’s game team selection wise. During a difficult month and in-between our games v Chelsea and Everton. Perfect opportunity for Brendan to rest a few players for the important top 4 run in. 

Also, they’re flying in the championship and will rest some of their big hitters. There’ll be a mutual understanding from both managers that the counterpart will rest players which will suit them both. Be gobsmacked if we played 11 first teamers.

You’ve gone and done it haven’t you 

[Hales]

Both winnable! Yes! 🏆

[Lambert09]

read comments on here before watchin the draw. Was expecting dead rubbers but were playing one of the most talented sides in the championship and probably a prem side. 

 

Not as easy a path as much of the cakewalk you nods made me think it was going to be. 

 

Overall though good draws. Man city and Chelsea are the only big boys youd put your house on being in the next pot 

 

I was gutted watching newport lose the shoot out yesterday... now im really annoyed

So it's the Bees then one of the B's! Has to be Barnsley in the quarters then Burnley in the semi's.  Job done 

 

[AjcW]

Surprised there’s not been much moaning about getting the same draw as last year

I'm desperate for us to win it but the thought of an empty Wembley and having to watch us in the final on TV saddens me. 

Not necessarily. Might be open to vaccinated old fogies. In other words, 80% of our away following

I agree. But if you intend to win it, you really do need to beat brentford and Brighton

Brentford are a decent side. They could cause an upset.

Depends. We thought that last year and they played their B Team. They’re up for promotion again so might do the same?

Rested him last year, but I know what you mean. I'd still expect us to overpower them with a similar team to what we picked on Saturday. 

[RoboFox]

The BBC clearly doesn’t like David Moyes that much. 

 

[adejo92]

A very capable team but a more than winnable fixture if we treat it with the respect it deserves. The main thing is that we have avoided one of the other 'Big Teams' but on the same note, not sure this is a fixture where you would be wanting to rest the stars.

[goody2028]

Anyone reckon this’ll get moved or we expecting a sat 15:00 ?

They may do. They looked good when I watched them last. We could rock up arrogantly and find we’re not the best team on the pitch. This could even happen if they field their b team. I hate it when it’s clear we see ourselves better than a lower league team, hardly put in a shift, and find our skills have been undone by their togetherness and work ethic. It’s disrespectful to them.
