Woodley Ram Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Just watching Man City at Wednesday, they are crap we were 2-0 up at this stage also their strip is clashing with my Pina Colada anyway my team for tomorrow Hamer Bogle. Wisdom. Clarke. Forsyth Knight Bird Rooney. waghorn. Martin. Lawrence put Martin in because we need to try and hold onto the ball, knight for energy, wisdom because I don’t trust Davies on the ball and Bogle because of his speed in attack and he is an outlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did seem to have a smirk on his face, so all deliberately lighthearted, if I read it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 At this stage in the competition, against a team like Man United, we need to be playing a full strength side imo - not the reserves like in previous rounds. So I’d go with pretty much the same team that beat Wednesday as it was a terrific performance: Hamer Bogle Wisdom Clarke Lowe Bird Rooney Waghorn Lawrence Knight Martin Just the one Change with Lowe In for Forsyth - it’s probably not a good idea to have the latter play 3 games in a week, and Man United have a lot of pace on the wings so Forsyth would probably get roasted. Better to have Lowe in there as this is a game for the more “footballing” players in my opinion. On paper we are obviously the underdogs, but as always this is the cup - anything can happen. We’ve beaten them before, so we shouldn’t go in with any massive fears - just do our best and see what happens. Regardless, we’ve already done well to reach this point having had to beat palace to get here, so it’s pretty much a free hit anyway. Let’s get at them, and who knows!

Carl Sagan Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I reckon we'll line up as: Roos Bogle Wisdom Clarke Lowe Bird Knight Rooney Waghorn Martin Lawrence Subs: Ravas Davis Forsyth Shinnie Marriott Sibley Whittaker So of the fit players Malone and Josefzoon would miss out. If we're going to play out from the back IMHO we have to play Roos and not play Davis. And we are going to play out from the back. There's an argument for not having Fozzy on the bench just to rest him after all the injuries, in which case you could bring Malone onto the bench or see Shinnie as left back cover and have another attacking option in Josefzoon on the bench. That would mean 5 academy players starting the game (3 eligible for last night's U19 Champions League tie) with 3 more academy players (2 of them eligible for the U19s) on the bench. The future is amazingly bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I don't usually care about playing the 'big' clubs, because I go to watch my team and my team alone. But the prospect of causing an upset, no matter who we play, is always exciting. United away in the Carabao last season was amazing, and I'm hoping for something similar at home tonight to round off my stint as a North Stander (bought the ticket before I changed my season ticket). Win this and we've got the best chance we've had of getting to an FA Cup semi final in my life time. Now I can't wait for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Roos bogle wisdom Clarke lowe Bird. Rooney Sibley Knight. Lawrence Marriott i just can’t see us starting Martin and waghorn In this one with Blackburn at home on Sunday sibley May start or it will be Shinnie - this is the type of game Marriott has actually turned up for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I think if he is fit, Forsyth will start ahead of Lowe with the more attacking option open later. United’s strength is up front and we will need our best defenders. I also think Shinnie will get the nod over Knight to try to disrupt United’s passing in midfield. Neither move is that defensive if we move the ball quickly and take a few risks on first time delivery. I hope the fans are up for it and get the boost they deserve in a rocky season.

United's strength is pace upfront. We play Blackburn on Sunday who will be a lot more direct, so that's the game we'll need Forsyth. Lowe will cope better against their pacey wingers.
