I always felt he has the potential to be an excellent player in a top 6 club but hasn't happened for him yet. Wilf was superb under Allardyce but has been injured this season. Will get his big move next summer (Tottenham). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'll be there with my sons and some mates - more in hope than expectation. Both clubs have more important things to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a quarter final place at stake. With the teams remaining in the draw there's a high probability of a game against a really big club - or alternatively a highly winnable game with the prospect of a place in the semis. I'm 34 and can't remember us reaching the latter stages of a cup competition (JPT aside). I'm excited by this game. With you on this one - think Palace have more on their plate than us, after 9 games, Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta is their joint top scorer.

Lanterne Rouge Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I`m not sure if Bobby will play - he was still limping a bit at full time yesterday after being clouted in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I see Zaha got 77 minutes yesterday - bench on Tuesday? Also, our nemesis Speroni is in goal at the moment - about the only time he hasn`t had a blinder against us was in the playoffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Is he...bugger...missed that. Go with Reid in that spot and Taylor up front. What's a broken nose!!!! Really want to win this game. Good chance for the fringe players to show what they've got. I really rate Kelly and hate the fact that Bryan could hold up his progression. He is imo, the best prospect we've ever had....seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set pieces are a massive weakness of ours. Set pieces! Do you mean can't defend them or can't score from them? City can't score or even get close from set pieces, defending is usually OK though.

Wish we hadn't signed Woodrow and kept Hinds here. 2 good goals in this cup run and he would have been in and around the first team squad regularly. I know it's easy in Hindsight () but he couldn't have made less of an impact than Woodrow, then as players came back he could have gone on loan in Jan to get a run of games. I don't see LJ doing much different to previous rounds , so Kelly to play and maybe Vyner depending on if LJ thinks Zaha will start. Be nice to see Pisano back at least for a run , but as I said before , options are limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanker Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Let’s hope we start with the international O’Dowda. Their defenders won’t know what’s hitting them if he he puts in a shift like he did against Leeds. This is a winnable game and O’Dowda “ Will tear them apart again” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Đurić and Taylor injured at the time and Engvall clearly not really in LJ's plans, I think the Woodrow loan made perfect sense and that you are being harsh in saying Hinds couldn't have made "less of an impact", as his goal against Derby set us on our way and the Burton sub appearance aside, I think he has made a reasonable contribution so far. What has clearly not worked though, is Hinds loan spell to Cheltenham, GJ hasn't given him a single league start, so whilst Taylor Moore and Morrell have gained useful experience and played a lot of games, young Hinds has been getting 5 minutes here and 10 minutes there. Pointless. If GJ wasn't their manager I reckon we would have recalled him by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think that if Hinds had played yesterday there would have been little or no difference. I keep forgetting to check on Cheltenham , after his goals for us I thought he'd nail down a starting place. What chance Garita on the bench Tuesday? Totally agree @Red Right Hand the change has done nothing to help players as far as I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
