Is anyone worried about fixture congestion?

[Pam]

Delighted with the team just now but the fixtures are piling up. I don't recall us ever having been fighting on four fronts in February before.

Not really that's why you have a squad of players.

Nothing we can do pam but take one game at a time

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

One thing that would be a problem is replays so I think we should always go shit or bust in this comp in the next couple of rounds if the game is tight with 15 to go.

 

[dickie davies]

nope

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Yes, that's why I wouldn't have been particularly bothered if we'd lost today. We've already got that Newcastle game to squeeze in. The good news is that we haven't had any replays so far, and Arsenal have the same problem, more,or less.

 

[blueinsa]

No.

We go out of competitions and folk moan, we progress and folk moan.

This club is about winning now and lots of games is to be savoured, not moaned or worried about.

My big hope is that we get our big guns fit and firing for the last 8 weeks. If we've been lucky enough to avoid injuries to our key players before then and still in all competitions I reckon we can give everything domestic a proper good go.

+1.

Just keep going

No id rather have fixture congestion than just focussing on the league, chance for some of our very talented youngsters to come of age

 

[The Richard Wright Fan Club]

No. For years we dreamed of having a decent cup run now we can win a domestic treble and cunts are moaning about too many games. FFS.

 

[beehive_bob]

Can never understand Blues not minding if City get knocked out of a competition given the position we're now in. Newcastle game is the only one affected by League Cup & other league games not affected unless we reach FA Cup QF. And that could even work to our advantage, games rearranged later in season when we hopefully may have a fully fit squad - yeah, we could get new injuries too - and we know exactly what we need to do. So, no.

We were in this position 2 years ago

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

Sounds like one of those good problems

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Yes, that's why I wouldn't have been particularly bothered if we'd lost today. We've already got that Newcastle game to squeeze in. The good news is that we haven't had any replays so far, and Arsenal have the same problem, more,or less.

Cough, foxes, cough!!!

Nope

 

[TFC]

Nope. Got to be in em to win em.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I can't sleep because of it

 

[york away to this!]

I'd rather be out of everything...

Quite the opposition, fixture congestion usually means your doing something right.

However:

Leicester City (H)
Tottenham (H)
Dinamo Kiev (A)
Liverpool (N)
Liverpool (A)

Is going to test our squad, 5 important games across 3 competitions.
