Jim Smith 2,314 Posted January 4, 2013 I will be disgusted if we put that sort of side out in an FA Cup tie where we have 5000 fans in attendance. What has happened to so many of our fans that we suddenly don''t care about the FA Cup?Don''t risk any players with fitness worries or really crucial players for the next fee weeks but other than that it should be as string as possible.RuddMartin Turner Bennett GaridoBennett Fox Johnson SnodgrassWesJackson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 271 Posted January 4, 2013 Should be good enough with the right application; I think CH said Morison will not be fit due to his thigh strain so assume you would swap Kane in instead? Even if Morison fit I would stick with Kane starting I think. Personally I would stick with 4-2-3-1 (its the clubs preferred tactic) and play howson in the hoolahan role - everyone says thats his role - lets see if he can really fill it? A goal could give Kane a confidence boost Smith FoxBennett Lappin Howson Kane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kane does seem a confidence player. Especially that miss v the Hammers in September, that was a nervous finish. Confident player would have banged that in.

star_manic 0 Posted January 4, 2013 i think several of the players should be rested, though i am not sure that CH thinks the same. in the hammers game you could see that several were off the pace due to playing in every game of the festive season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 26 Posted January 4, 2013 I have to agree with the OP, may as well throw out every fringe player and see what happens.I feel for the fans having been there myself to watch utter trash at cup games and have since vowed never to bother with cup games as managers will always favour the league, even if we are only a game away from Wembley...

priceyrice 123 Posted January 4, 2013 I have lost interest in all the cups, chosen to stop attending after last season''s dreadful effort. I actually think the FA cup is losing its shine for a lot of fans, not sure why, i wonder if it could be because we have an almost identical cup with the league cup, which no one takes seriously and now that is resonating down to the FA cup too.IMO the league cup needs to be scrapped before the FA cup can get some of its glamour back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swollen ankles 0 Posted January 4, 2013 Losing it''s shine!!! 5k tickets snapped up in half a day is not losing its shine. It will be a great day out and I will be out on the juice from 10am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted January 4, 2013 I was under the impression Surman was back in training but possibly not match fit. He played in a four across the middle several times in our promotion season, so can''t see why he can''t again! I know he''s not an out and out winger though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggy 747 Posted January 4, 2013 I wouldn''t be overly surprised to see pretty much the full strength defence out - we''ve been a bit wobbly at the back recently, and often playing more games together can help with cohesion and organisation.Midfield and attack, I would expect virtually an entirely second string side. Any of those above look like they should be able to do us a job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
