This is the team I would pick for Saturday:

Alex (he doesn't get any blame for tonight)
KWP ABK Salisu Perraud
JWP Lavia
Stu Theo
Paul Sulemana
Going with that I would switch Theo and Sulemana, as Theo would be better alongside TP and it would give Sully a chance to pick the ball up from a deeper position and/or out wide, and run at the opposition.
 
I hope Grimsby get United or City away for 2 reasons: 1. It will be a great away day for their fans and 2. it means we would never have had a shot of reaching Wembley.

There's not a chance in hell that this team (Saints) would be winning three more games in the FA Cup anyway. Maybe we could have fluked it through to the semi. But as soon as we play half-decent Prem opposition, it's bye-bye. I'm really not upset about the short-term effect of this result, just the long-term effect of having a sh*t manager, clueless owners, and a massive squad of average players with no passion.
 
As long as they direct their ire to those responsible, (SR) good.
Everyone is responsible. I don’t like this approach at all because it’s the perfect platform for these players, who have now failed to perform under THREE managers, to hide behind and they shouldn’t be allowed.

It’s Grimsby bloody Town. It’s SR’s fault for getting us here, it’s Reuben’s fault for failing to pick the right team or at the very least being unable in getting them energised to play the game and it’s the players fault for being dogshit.

Everyone from the top down is to blame.
 
This. Let's give the kids a run out. They literally can't be any worse
This points to another problem. Selles needs to stick to a first 11 and keep them playing for a good 5/6/7 games in a row in the same formation and actually give it time for a system to stick. There is zero point in making 5/6 changes every 1, 2 or 3 games. Get your best 11 and actually give them a chance to gel. Team chemistry is right up there as one of our biggest issues.
