Bournemouth (a)

[copunk]

Can see everyone is preoccupied with how south tonight went so thought I would start the topic 🤣 

Personally not arsed of we lose, had we won tonight I would have gone full strength and gave it a go, but surely our attention now has to be the league 

[Tuna]

3 defeats on the bounce could be disastrous for morale

[Your Honour]

We aren’t winning this. 

[Manini]

Oh ffs is this next?

[volpeazzurro]

Couldn't really give a toss about this match, play the kids and squad.

[HybridFox]

Always want us to try in the cup. Not the end of the world obviously but a win here would be a big boost after back to back defeats. 3 on the trot and if we're then being held by QPR, the pressure starts to build. Make no mistake Sunderland is a tough game after that too

[Tommy Fresh]

Half not arsed, half want to win so the Southampton game gets pushed back and gives a bit of a nicer looking run for a bit

[Sunbury Fox]

Forgot about this as was I focused on the QPR game. We always lose here, and we'll play the reserves now the league is getting too close for comfort so a complete waste of time. Limp 2-0 defeat probably. 

[Fazzer 7]

Well obvs we'll lose, just not by too many I hope. We simply have to beat QPR

[Fox 4 Life]

Couldn't give a **** about this, we need to focus on the league. Play the kids 

[lcfcjosh]

**** the cup

[jayfox26]

Had we beat Boro and Leeds like we should, id have said go full on strongest team and try and win. Given we lost our last 2 and our lead has been cut to 6, I couldn't give 2 hoots about this game. Start Danny Ward up front for all I care. 

[broadstone fox]

Think we should go full strength.Need to bounce back as soon as .Seen afcb play a few times this season . They play pressing fast paced chaos football.Our reserves would get mullered. This will be a huge and interesting test for enzos tactics and formation. Its a winnable game if we turn up. Their arrogant fans seem to think this is an easy game

Play under 23s.. just a distraction

[bovril]

Very similar thread to the 4th round.

 

Thankfully we won that and went a run...

[alanf0x]

Play the kids and once we lose, can say it’s because we played the kids…

[Sly]

Winning this tactically might actually break the league up a bit, as I believe the Southampton game would then need moving. 

[niyaminski]

**** this and focus on pissing the league

[Nod.E]

Could not care less. Not going to win the competition, this is an annoying distraction.

[Noahfence]

Could not give a **** 

[Sly]

Can Vestergaard play in this after his booking tonight?

Sky quoted qpr and Sunderland as ones he missed? When’s the threshold for 10 cards to avoid ban? 

[Sly]

I think we’ll go with a fairly strong team.

 

It’s a good measuring stick on how we perform against a mid to lower Premier Lesgue team. 

[moore_94]

Completely forgot about this, thought it was straight into QPR next 

 

I don't think he will make quite as many changes as in previous rounds but I think we will still see about 5 or 6

 

Stolarczyk, Coady, Doyle, Praet, Albrighton, Cannon in
