Match Day Thread Derby County v Southampton FA Cup 3rd Round Saturday 5th January 2019 3pm

Think that Huddersfield will sack Wagner this week and I would not be surprised if Puel lost his job too.

 

7th in the league , essentially the best of the rest outside the top 6. Can’t see him getting sacked tbh.

 

Given that we're the only replay (so far) on Wednesday I would think we're being televised.

 

Excellent. That works out well as I can’t make it.

Saints should sell the tickets for fiver to try and get a few thousand in.

 

To be fair, neither have the Skates

 

Minimum price of a tenner

 

I expect the FA have set that?

Shame. They won’t get as many bums on seats and we’ll be looking at a sub 20k attendance

 

Depends on the pricing, 12 n 5 will see around that mark I imagine.

Also if we were to draw the Skates, wouldn't surprise me if the club offered anyone who goes first dibs after STH's if we get through.

 

I’m not going to talk about the next round until the Derby game is over.

If we get through, Pompey at home would be nice. Any home game to be fair.

 

Not sure why my thread has been unstuck. *sniff*



I’ll get the Leicester one up on Wednesday!

 

I (unsurprisingly) would like a good away if not the Skates like Villa or something.

Did Accrington get through?

 

We’ve got to a final and a semi final in the last two seasons and we got through the earlier rounds by rotating our squad.
Players like Hoijberg got most of their minutes like this

 

Yeah, Accrington got through.

I would like an away game, but it depends on money.

 

Accrington is a bit far really but we haven't had a really good draw like that in ****ing years.

 

We seem to get Championship sides with flat pack stadiums like ours, or premier league teams.

Away games I would be tempted to go to;
Gillingham
Brentford
Bristol City
Barnet
AFC Wimbledon

 

Villa are out.

 

Be careful what you wish for - just ask Leicester!

 

Here’s the survivors and the number of their balls:
1 BOLTON WANDERERS
2 MILLWALL
3 GILLINGHAM
4 BRENTFORD
5 SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY OR LUTON TOWN
6 MANCHESTER UNITED
7 EVERTON
8 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
9 DONCASTER ROVERS
10 NEWCASTLE UNITED OR BLACKBURN ROVERS
11 CHELSEA
12 CRYSTAL PALACE
13 DERBY COUNTY OR SOUTHAMPTON
14 ACCRINGTON STANLEY
15 BRISTOL CITY
16 NEWPORT COUNTY
17 OLDHAM ATHLETIC
18 SHREWSBURY TOWN OR STOKE CITY
19 ARSENAL
20 MANCHESTER CITY
21 BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION
22 WEST HAM UNITED
23 WATFORD
24 BURNLEY
25 QUEENS PARK RANGERS
26 BARNET
27 PORTSMOUTH
28 AFC WIMBLEDON
29 WEST BROMWICH ALBION
30 MIDDLESBROUGH
31 WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS OR LIVERPOOL
32 SWANSEA CITY

 

Maybe not Villa then

 

I'd rather lose to Newport than get Pulis'd at home by Boro or draw City or another prem club.
