Need to get a grip here. Can only win this cup if we don’t play another PL team. As soon as we get a top club Brendan goes full on respect mode and we stand no chance. 

 

Who needs to get a grip?

 

 

The route to that particular trophy went through Brighton, Man U, Southampton and Chelsea.

Please play Iversen. Don't play Ward so he can "gain some confidence", we'll get knocked out.

 

Iversen

Ricardo Soutter Soyuncu Kristiensen

Mendy KDH

Tete Nacho Barnes

Daka

 

Maddison in if fit.

[StanSP]

Iversen*

 

Pereira - Amartey - Faes - Thomas

 

Mendy

 

Tete - Praet - Barnes

 

Daka - Vardy

 

Surely we don't need 2 DMs against Blackburn, with no disrespect to them.

Gallagher, Szmodics, Dolan seem to be in form for them. Not sure if Brereton Diaz will play.

 

*Iversen seemed to be carrying a left shoulder injury so maybe he won't be played. If not, it'll be Ward.

History certainly bears this out. We've absolutely never won the FA Cup if we had to play another PL team along the way.

Look at the performances this season and the respect Rodgers gives the top clubs since he lost the plot in the summer! Bears little resemblance to what happened in the 2020/21 season. Draw a top team and we stand no chance. Live in the past if you want but right now we are relegation fodder. 

[Bob Weasel Fox]

I just hope we win

 

thats all

Spot on,we are definitely relegation candidates but now we are aware of it due to Rodgers negatively

Will be like that Birmingham game a few years ago I reckon. Largely crap performance with a late winner.

[Daggers]

We’ll be crap and lose.

 

I am available for corporate events and team building exercises as a motivational speaker. WhatsApp me.

1st paragraph isn’t really motivating me if I’m honest.

When I press the red button it takes me to Teletext...it's a lie I tell you...a lie!!

 

Also, I think BBC red button it's another sky channel? That's how I found it last time.

                  Iversen

Ricardo  Amartey Faes  Thomas

                 

       Praet    Mendy  KDH

 

     Tete        Vardy       Barnes 

 

I wouldn't risk Maddison at all and try and get 60-70 mins out of him at St Mary's. I would start Vardy to see if a goal could bring him a little bit of confidence.

Southampton is a huge game. Rodgers will rotate heavily.

Lose tomorrow and at Southampton and we’re back to “should have got Dyche in”. We’re stuck with Rodgers sadly and he can rotate all he likes. My washing line has achieved better results rotating than he has, and it’s effin cold at the moment.

Diaz being out for them is a big blow and positive for us

[Matt]

Good test to give an idea of what we’ll be up against next season.

Dont fancy Blackburn to win the play offs

[ultrafox]

I'm confident we'll win this...  .......so, that said.....anyone know when the 6th Round draw will be held,         and whether it will be another double draw (quarter and semi's together)?

 

It should be this week, but I can't see it mentioned anywhere.

[goose2010]

Blackburn are 7/1 to beat us. Seems massive that.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Giving us a Wembley trip even if it's just a Semi Final would go a long way to improving this pretty dreadful season from the fans' perspective.

Concede early on the atmosphere will very quickly turn toxic
