Match Day Thread West Bromwich Albumen vs Saints English FA Cup 5th Round - Saturday, 17 Feb @ 15:00

If it's a draw can't wait for the replay thread!

 

No need to worry about Sturridge then!

 

This isn't a game for smallball; break out the Seven Seconds of Less offense, get their safeties backpedaling, make those zone entries at pace. We can break their serve, but only if we win the key scrums, and lately we've been showing teams too much of the wicket.

Yahtzee.

 

I was planning on it but annoyingly forgot the date agreed to cover this weekend at work

 

I love a cup run and any win is great for morale at the moment, but after the loss against liverpool I cant help but want league football back so we can get out the relegation zone! Cant help but have an eye on the huge game against Burnley

 

Having gone on line to book the Midlands Massive tickets, I was surprised (pleasantly) how many we have sold. Good effort!
Looking forward to the game but do hope MP picks our strongest team as everyone needs a boost

 

Good to see we still have support when things a going badly, god know we need it now.

 

Bit of a free shot for me this one. If we win, great, could be a confidence boost going into the next few games and we are into the quarters of the cup. If we lose, oh well, more important stuff this season than the FA Cup and can fully concentrate on trying to stay up.

Knowing Saints we will get to the final of the FA Cup and get relegated, then get destroyed in the final by Spurs.

 

I am a believer in a cup run....a win is a win and will boost confidence. On the other hand it is not do or die, so the team can play with more freedom. Has the added advantage that a good win (and by that I mean a few goals) could really knock West Brom. The alternative will NOT be considered.

 

If Spurs reach the final, they should start with a minimum of a two goal deficit, to try and compensate for it being a home game for them, and for it not being played on a neutral ground. Irrespective of who they play.

 

To level the playing field at St Mary's, we should be given a goal start.

 

Our support is awesome !

 

Although in some ways it will be nothing like a home game for them, as the opposition will have the same ticket allocation as their fans. Even better, they might even draw the “away” end, which would be rather lovely.

 

Referee is Christopher Kavanagh.
Assistants: Constantine Hatzidakis and Mark Scholes.
4th Official: Martin Atkinson.

 

If Lemina is not 100% in any way I would be resting him for this one. Yes I want us to win, but we need a fully fit and healthy Lemina for the League. He can make the difference for us.

 

The final should be played at the San Siro

 

West Brom sack from the top

us next?
