Attacking Set-Up

……………….Ortega

……...Reis……Ake…..Mfuni (?)

………….…Lewis….Gundo

…………….….…Bernie

….McAtee….KDB….Foden…Grealish

Haven’t seen Mfuni, but if he’s half as talented as others think, then there’s no better game to blood him and rest Gvardiol.

At our place, we should turn them over without too much trouble, but it’s their SECOND FA CUP FINAL of the season already, so we need to let them chase and chase and chase, while finding and exploiting the spaces.

I’ve left Bernie in a free attacking role, which allows him to slide forward, backwards and side to side to help control our game in their half.

Are you Pep in disguise?

The returns were from level 2 blocks which club had previously kept back for friends and families.

Quite a few tickets in home end have been cancelled as Jerhro and Denzil used PL postcode in registration .

How big are the families down there,

500 is a lot to return to normal sale considering they must've distributed a load to F & F anyway

The FA Cup is still such a special competition for me. As a kid, with City largely shite it offered the hope and dreams of us winning something. The most realistic option, even if we didn't get particularly close until we won it in 2011. We're targeting "bigger" things these days, but a season where we "only" win the FA Cup would still be an excellent season in my opinion.

Lots of PL teams left so it's not going to be easy, but with luck of the draw we have a great chance. Would be going as strong as we can for this and rotating once the game is won, rather than making the bucket load of changes we might in other seasons. It's this and the league, we can manage that comfortably.

Hard to believe we tossed 2 Finals away over the last decade!
 
We return to one game a week in March, and we need to find that rhythm, plus the fa cup is a very realistic target for us to aim for this season, so we have to go strong.

I can see McAtee and Kev starting, and whilst I would like to see Reis and Echeverri get minutes it will have to be from the bench. Just a question of how we squeeze Marmoush in too if we go with Kev, and whether Doku, Savinho or Grealish sits it out. But we need Kev to get some form and rhythm back badly, an assist or a goal would be very welcome.

I much prefer Nunes a right back due to his pace and height, and would like to see that again. Josko does indeed need a rest but we have no cover.

Either way, we should win this one. Do not take it lightly, but do go out there and exploit any hesitation they may have. I'm quite ok being labelled as disrespectful again if we beat a lower division opponent by several goals.

Yes we have cover for Josko, Nico O’Reilly and I fully expect him to start on Saturday
 
Hope we get a couple of early goals to really sour the day for the away support and give them nothing from minute 1. can't be arsed with 8k lower league away fans from a 17k capacity ground belting out every single song from the lower league hymm book for dummies.

I'm delighted they did over the dippers, enjoy your big day out before the game you deserve it for that alone but as soon as the whistle blows you can all fuck off and take an absolute pounding from start to finish. I'll give it 5 minutes tops before we've had wwywyws, ysifs and all the others.
