Vardyshardy Posted 5 January Posted 5 January 2 hours ago, Kev said: A free hit really. Win might inspire some confidence, a defeat means we won’t clog up additional fixtures just to lose to the first decent team we play in the next couple of rounds. I completely disagree. The team needs a win. Any win. Losing in the first round of the FA cup as a premier league team to a “lower” opposition is embarrassing and there would be even more questions and more of a pile on. I wouldn’t say this is a “free hit” at all 1

I wouldn’t say this is a “free hit” at all Newcastle lost at home to League 2 Cambridge when they looked certain for relegation, but managed to survive. What good will a 1-0 win at home to QPR do when we get drawn away at Liverpool in the next round, have to play an extra game during a busy schedule and get beat by 4 or 5? Maybe the players and management need some embarrassment and a ‘pile-on’ to buck up their ideas and start performing? Maybe the Board will take notice and realise we need some investment. I’m not saying I’d want to lose, I’d never want to lose any game, but it would be far from the end of the world if we did. 1
TrickyTrevLeftPeg Posted 5 January Posted 5 January (edited) We all know it'll be the likes of BDCR, ayew etc I'd love for us to put out an Academy Team round the edges but seniors though the spine CB, CM CAM, FWD. Stolarczyk Thomas Faes Okoli Wormleighton Skipp Choudhury Alves El Khannouss Monga Daka Perfect opportunity to see if the youngsters can help with the team in latter of this year and blood them in for championship next season. Just seen @Sly has same team above. Edited 5 January by TrickyTrevLeftPeg 1 1

If they need to lose to QPR to realise we need investment and aren’t already embarrassed about some of the performances, none of it matters anyway because they are blind to the state we are in 1

Fox92 Posted 5 January Posted 5 January I’m worried about a potential upset given QPR’s recent form. We have to play a strong team and just have to win.

The club can't get upset if Monga does piss off in the summer, we have to fast track his development and hope that's enough to convince him to stay for a bit. 13

The club can't get upset if Monga does piss off in the summer, we have to fast track his development and hope that's enough to convince him to stay for a bit. Arsenal are playing a 17 year old. From what I’ve seen of him he is ready, I went to watch the academy with my mate who’s a forest fan, he thought he was unreal! And to add there were a number of scouts there…. Ruud surely will want to use this to see how they cope….. I’d play Joseph, Monga and Alves. Absolutely has to, couldn’t give a **** about the result, I want some players on the pitch who give a shit about wanting to play football, and will want to prove a point.
