They've had a threadbare squad since Christmas in their defence. I believe they're starting to get a few back now though so they could be a much tougher opposition by the time we play them than they've been in the last 2 months.I think Bournemouth are on the slide, couldn’t beat 10 man Wolves, yeah there a good side but if we turn up they won’t live with us.
Maybe it's just as well that we aren't going to Preston, they're the sort of team that could fluke a goal with ten minutes left, and hold out for a cup shock .... at least with Bournemouth they have already beaten us back in November, so we know exactly what to expect, and we SHOULD, and i repeat SHOULD be up for it, to make sure it definitely doesn't happen again!The season is hotting up. Big game away in the cup and a number ov big games to win to get the top 4 we need. In fact the Forest, Brighton and Bournemough games offer much an opportunity. Win all 3 and I'll be jigging in drlight
I understand that, but the post I replied to made out like we had a terrible record against them, which is simply untrue.Until this version of us. Our seasons declined started v them when we were horrible
Who do we play on the Wednesday and who do Bournemouth play ?We are the only team scheduled to play on the Wednesday after the quarter finals all other PL teams play on Tuesday. Something has to give as every fixture has at least one team that can’t play Sunday and then Tuesday. If only they were all played at 3.00pm on Saturday as they used to be
Bournemouth at home to Ipswich on Tuesday and we’re at home to Leicester on Wednesday.Who do we play on the Wednesday and who do Bournemouth play ?
That's what makes it a shit draw not the team we play but their Hyde Utd style stadium means very few of us will be able to go, don't think my 24.5k points will be anywhere near enough :-(Tough draw, but any away draw at this stage would be tough. I expect us to beat Bournemouth and progress. The shit thing is the capacity of their stadium means tickets will be scarce.
2000 tickets?
Well they held out for over 80 minutes of their home game with Liverpool lately, before going down to two late goals .... but maybe that's exactly the type of professional performance that we need to come up with.Seconded
Wolves got 1945 yesterday and it’s international week prior so don’t think it can be Friday night for those travelling back11,300 capacity so 25% equates to 2,825, it wouldn't surprise me if the powers that be put it on the Friday night!
Yep, safe in the knowledge that the present Ipswich side aren't a patch on the quality of the team they had back in the late 70s/early 80s!I can’t remember the last time I didn’t dislike any of the teams who’d reached the QF
If we both go through it’d be a really nice walk down memory lane to face Ipswich in the SF
Who's the worst?Tough draw with what was left but Bournemouth have the 2nd worst draw, after drawing us at home.
We will rightly be favourites and fancy us strongly. Have to.
Worst case for tickets, plus its bloody mothers day weekend. My mrs can have the kids all to herself as a present on that special weekend :-)
