Might be wrong, of course, I'm no expert. Midfield runners are dragging them all over the place. I’m not sure Clarke and Wisdom would be able to stem the flow either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 We are playing one of the best teams in the country and it's no surprise or shame that we are losing. Cocu's remit was to blood the youngsters and he is giving them the most fantastic experience. We should take the positives from this game and look to the future.

Complete ducking idiot has no respect for this glorious tournament or glorious club or fans. Behave. We’ve got 4 of last seasons under 23s on the pitch. Are we going to win the FA cup? No. Cocu has seen the cups as an opportunity to build for the future. It’s why we got him. His reputation doesn’t say he’ll do anything different. He doesn’t care about crowd pleasing, he doesn’t care about getting knocked out away to Norwich in the quarter finals. We could have one night to remember bearing Man Utd in a one off game, or we can get promoted next season, for the chance to play united, Norwich and anyone else at pride park every season for the foreseeable future. If you don’t like developing youth, then he’s never going to be the manage for you. But it’s all about next season. If we’re not challenging for promotion next season, with a team full of home gown talent, then feel free to come back and tell me ‘I told you so’. I say well form to him for keeping the big picture firmly in mind, despite any other circus going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re playing a Man Utd side that have had an average season at best. Sheff Utd who we played last season have similar points. I’d say if we were to beat any team in top 10 of the Premier League in a cup then Man Utd would be my pick. Not saying I believed 100% we could win, but I wouldn’t have ruled out a scrappy 1-0 or win on penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Giving them a game regardless of the score. Shaw is a beast Sibley looking dangerous and hungry, Waggy really up for it. Knight is class, Bogle frightens them when he goes forward Rooney was seriously close and it was a great save (I think ) from the FK Come on lads ... give us a goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I still reckon Rooney will score our first (only?) goal. His free kick was classic Wayne. His field width crosses etc are inch perfect. His booking and half time facial expression showed how much games like this mean to him! Not over till the fat lady sings! Some noise from our supporters might be nice though!

Ramarena Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I think some people think we are playing Sheff Wed again. If you can’t see the difference in quality from the passing, to the midfield runners breaking through our lines, etc then I don’t know what to tell you!

I think they'd have more chance, being more natural centre back options who have played together before and started to form a partnership. I'm not slagging them off, just making the point that their selection for this game is a bit disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d say Wolves and Sheff Utd have had a good season and they’re above them both. Our season has been the definition of average in a division below.

Ghost of Clough Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Very unlucky with the first. Forsyth not tight enough to Ighalo for the 2nd. Sibley could have scored. We’ve still got a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mckram Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Be nice to see Martin in the second half. I think he would cause their centre backs issues and hopefully get us further up the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to see Sibley start for a while, he's going to end up crunching Bruno in the first 10 ?. Probably would have put Martin on instead of Waggy though. 5 minutes ago, Andicis said: Maybe we should have started a bloody first choice centre half. ??♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
