And? :dunno:

Why wouldn't be aloud to play in the cup ? Sunderland have a keeper and back up. We also have a view to buy him at the end of the season so he is finish there and also said nothing on OS that he wasn;t aloud to play.

Presumably that if he's here for the season that means he can play in all the cup games.

Seeing as he's here for the whole season and Sunderland theoretically will not be needing him.

+ They are out now so its safe to say he can play in the replay.

Nice of you to say so Sparky but it just hit me that discussing his future at LCFC when it's not inconceivable that he might no longer have a playing future suddenly hit me right in the gut.

i didnt see Clive at palacebut i thought he was solid against Watford and imo did well last night. give him a few more games if he recovers and he could have a future here.

best wishes Clive we all hope you are ok.

Tonight's team selection was an insult to everyone who bought a ticket. Six changes, a change of system, short of attacking threat, no creativity in midfield, a slow and unfamiliar back line.

And now we'll have to make another stack of changes for Saturday's match. Tinkerman has nothing on our guy?

We had perhaps three performers out of 11 and the blame for that goes to Allen.

Allen -2 (+15 overall) for picking an indefensible team and for only being saved from a licking by the special circumstances of the evening.

Hold on a sec here! To my knowledge, the players who started the Trees game have all featured this season. Let me break it down...

Henderson, Chambers, Kisnorbo, Clemence ©, Hume, Campbell, Newton, Wesolowski, Porter, Clarke, Kenton

Subs: Neilsen, McAuley, Kishishev, Cort, Fryatt

From that side, Hendo has already started this season and did OK, Chambers would have still been in if it wasn't for his early season injury and most want him in the side. He played to rest the legs of the veteran N`Gotty. Kenton was apparently outstanding the other week and MA did what he has done with MDV and played players who impressed him and Porter, who came on to help earn us a point at Palace and one that you always go on about started instead of Sheehan. Newton, the other player who has featured this season like all those who started this match came in for the big fella to probably rest him like he did in the last round of the cup. MA didn't play players who weren't match fit like Cort and Kaebi and actually put out a strong side. You are only moaning that it was an indefensible team because they played so poorly in the half that they were there but largely, the team was a strong one.

Most likley reason Fulop didnt play is simply rotation, the first choice keeper usually gets a break for cup games and based on his last two performances Fulop looks a lot like first choice now... though after Henderson's display last night i could see him getting a thrown into the cup games as well.

Thracrian I would also field a weak team in a cup game when league is priority.

Perhaps explains why you'll never be a manager.

I also hope you'd make an announcement to that effect a fortnight beforehand to save people wasting their money on tickets for what they believe is going to be a first team football match.

Nor was this some low-key outing into the wilderness to play the likes of Accrington or Bury - not that it would be any real excuse.

It was a derby game against one of our nearest neighbours and over 5000 travelling fans were not only placed in a situation whereby their club and team were being publicly humiliated they were placed in that situation voluntarily, by our manager.

Priority? The next "priority" is winning the next match.

Maybe it simply proves why you weren't one either? :dunno:

Our priority is the League and to use a Cup game to run out some other squad members is not just common sense, it's common practice.

If you want entertainment - stay at home and watch Casualty.

I must admit I haven't read the leadup to this but... you nutter.

How was that a reserve side? Okay so you're not a fan of Kenton or Newton but who else are you unhappy with from that team?

We know hes not unhappy about Porter, who was yet again poor.

Casualtys on Saturdays Dave, popular Casualty spin off Holby City would be Thracians best bet if he is after hospital drama based entertainment.

And you'd know all about that.

EDIT: Yes Porter was absloute dog, seems to play much better when he comes off the bench.

There's always the possibility of recording one of the re-runs of Doc Martin, which I personally enjoy.

Hendo wasn't great, but some of that was Kisnorbo/Kenton not working as a partnership. The crap punch he made, for instance, was still just about the best thing he could do in the circumstances with unmarked men on every side.

Quite obvious he was trying to impress a little too hard, I thought.

No closing down in central midfield, which was disappointing. Porter didn't get a decent cross off all night and looked garbage, Clarke was having a decent game but went in too conservatively at times.

I stand by what I said last night, particularly the bit about Henderson. He was shakey, but made to look much worse than he actually was.

I think personally we'd have gone on to win the game in the second half; I don't see the problems evident in the first half not being dealt with at half time.

Reckon there's any chance we'll let them score from the kick-off at a replay? It'd be a nice gesture, even if a little naive.

Doesn't really strike me as the kind of thing MA would do.
