On the other hand, win here and we'll all wonder what the fuss is about.
Extra time is a massive no though.

Good for money. But beat Palace then we have a far more important and equally tough game at Southend.officer_dibble wrote:On the other hand, win here and we'll all wonder what the fuss is about.

Bottom line. Lose at Southend and we could be 8 points adrift. That starts to look pretty tough.

Re: FA Cup 3rd rd
It's one game. That's all. Get our best side out and give it a go. We need money and this is our opportunity to claw some in.Peter Thompson wrote:Play the reserves. lose and get out of this competition....otherwise it will hinder our League 1 form.
Our players are not strong enough they are still mentally weak, and any progress in the cup will just give them further excuses as to why we lose in league 1 to the like of Chesterfield, Oxford, Swindon etc....
May the bridges I burn light your way

Re: FA Cup 3rd rd
Did us no harm last time we were in this division. I don't go for this either or thing with cups. Plus we probably won't go up automatically anyway because we lack goalscorers. Good cup run plus playoff win will do me!

I'll just mention sporting Lisbon. That bit of rest for first teamers worked wonders.

Re: FA Cup 3rd rd
Indeed, but the match we saved ourselves for was a shocker. Give a couple of players a break that need it and stick out a good side and give it a go. Confidence breads confidence and any sort of momentum is good.BWFC_Insane wrote:We stayed up. So who knows?Abdoulaye's Twin wrote:I'll just mention sporting Lisbon.

Was hoping I'd be able to catch a bit of national coverage tonight, but BBC 1 and Radio 5 are both covering the Lincoln v Ipswich game, and Sports Extra's at Wimbledon v Sutton.

Re: FA Cup 3rd rd
No changes. Parky does realise he isnt legally required to pick the same team for every game?

Re: FA Cup 3rd rd
No idea who kaikai is but the palace team should be strong enough to win by two or three to be honest. Particularly if Remy is a bit fitter than the home game.
Re: FA Cup 3rd rd
I believe that we tried to sign him on loan once. He's a quite highly-rated, pacy winger from what I remember.officer_dibble wrote:No idea who kaikai is but the palace team should be strong enough to win by two or three to be honest. Particularly if Remy is a bit fitter than the home game.

Re: FA Cup 3rd rd
I can only assume that the board / chairman have put some pressure on PP to pick his strongest side, to try & get through to a money spinner against City.
In my opinion its a stupid decision to risk injuries / suspensions etc....he / they (the Anderson's) must be putting the cup above automatic promotion - I honestly don't care about the result tonight, I just hope that we don't lose players for more important League games or put our 1st team players through extra time....I'm sure that he could have picked the likes of Proctor, C Taylor, Derik, Clayton, Moxey, Trotter etc....

Can't really win. Pick a weakened team and people go mental. As we've seen in the past.Peter Thompson wrote:I can only assume that the board / chairman have put some pressure on PP to pick his strongest side, to try & get through to a money spinner against City.

I broadly agree we should be prioritising the league, but I guess it's tough to give up when you've worked hard for a replay.
I doubt it's pressure, Parky has always taken the major cups fairly seriously as far as I can tell.
