McMuffin Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 So we can't beat Boro but we're good enough to rest players against the current 5th best Premier league team! Somethings wrong there for sure and that gives us more of a chance than say when we players a confident Chelsea team last season. That's the key, Confidence! Imagine if we do Man United and what that could do to our confidence for the run in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will need to in order to not look like fools and it's also a good test on how good our first team actually is against a top 6 PL side Got a tonking from them I think last time we had them in the FA Cup. And wasn't that in same season we beat them 1-0 in home leg of capital one cup? Ronaldo and welbeck rang rings round us and they put a team out without a central striker. We could be made to look silly if we're not careful. But plenty of ifs and buts before the game which might alter how both clubs will view it.

Dimmu Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Do we even know what our strongest team is at the moment? I'd say it's pretty hard with the new signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Another game we don't really need, we are not going to win the cup - put the team out that played H/pool and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsbottom Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'd go with the team a mix of the team that beat HUFC and our strongest side - ---------------------Mitchell Christie------Buxton-------Shackell--------Warnock ------------------------Thorne ----------------Bryson-------Butterfield Ince--------------------------------------------Blackman ----------------------Bent Grant/Carson, Baird, Keogh, Hendrick, Camara, Russel, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carra Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We will need a full strength side. Despite Utd's poor form they do have a World Cup winner, England's record goal scorer and plenty of other top quality players. However, if our lads are up for it and the iPro is rocking we can give them a good game (at least)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there's fleeting excitement over this, I'm disappointed by the draw because there will be the temptation to put more of a first team out. And I wanted to use the Cup to give as many fringe players as possible a run. apologies - had the Preston one in - but you know what I was thinking - ok 7 pts!! starting tonight!!!

eddie Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 A win against United and we would only be two games away from Wembley - with one of the big guns out of the way. Besides, every time we beat them is a little bit of payback for 1976. That doesn't mean a lot to many of you, but by criminy, it means a hell of a lot to me. It also marks the 50th anniversary of the first time I saw us against United. For some on here, the Premier League - or rather, getting there - might be the be all and end all, so we shall have to agree to disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAT Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 So many points to consider with a few being: reward the players who got us past the 3rd round reward the players who have performed consistently all season rotate to freshen up test ourselves against a strong (regardless of many peoples opinion) prem team I PC needs to think about what impact this will have on individuals if they don't get the opportunity to play this game! I would say that these players should definitely get the chance (if fit): Carson Warnock Christie Keogh Shackell Ince Butterfield Harsh on the rest but the defence have been brilliant all season so they get this game as a 'thank you and keep up the good work'. Ince and Butterfield have been benched a few times this season but have come on and made an impact so they deserve to start. No saying the rest don't but I would base the rest on upcoming performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the 6 from tonight and against Brum Carl - but at Turf............we don't do so well - and I get bombarded by some old Burnley mates - so I am forecasting a draw!! anyway - 3 points tonight defo - that's a start!!!

Brammie Steve Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Throw absolutely everything we've got at them and go for a win at home. Then if we end up in a replay at Old Trafford give 'em hell again! Great opportunity for our lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
