It seems that all the teams we play are a bit 'off form' I remember the days when every team we played seemed to be suddenly 'on form' We defibrillated many a teams season back then
Winning this game could be a cat-alyst for us to go on and get into the top 7 Spammers losing could be the cat-astrophe that begins their slide down the table Here's hoping our sophisti-cat-ed attacking play cat-egorically wins the day
In truth it's impossible to overdo the romance of the cup. That 'one off' 90 minutes gets me excited every round. I just hope that West Ham put a really strong side out and put in an outstanding performance. That way, the win will be just that bit sweeter as we sail into the next round.
Is it true that our fans will be singing Tom Jones' song "What's new Pussycat?" on Wednesday evening?
Saints asked if we could wear our yellow and blue kit tomorrow night in a show of support for Ukraine but request was rejected due to the regulations.
Willy will probably be in goal which is fine. I would guess a back 4 of: Tino, Stephens, Salisu/Bednarek, Perraud. Diallo in for Romeu. All ok so far. But if Long and Walcott are up front tomorrow I'm going to hurl something at the TV because we may as well not play the tie.
We have to go as strong as possible. This game could define our season and I think the home crowd will be pretty damn angry if we pass up a chance for a quarter final place with a weakened team. Perraud is ok because he is a genuine 1st teamer anyway but we have to start with Oriol and JWP as they make the team tick. In fact everyone regarded as the best team should start including Forster. I'm starting to get twitchy now he's said that.
There’s been a lot of talk about PL or FAC. Well the difference is, this is KO. Lose & we’re out, whereas it’s somewhat recoverable in PL. Strong side please Ralph.
I don’t know. It worked against Coventry because we still had the game changing players to come on from the bench. Better to rotate. We have the depth and a few will want to make amends for their Coventry performance. I’d go for Willy, KWP, Stephens, Sally, Perraud, JWP, Diallo, Redmond, Ely, Adarma, Che
Is Lyanco likely to get a start? it’s JWP and Romeu I worry about, they do so much work and don’t really have decent cover there.
