I'm with you Lancy and he should have played Hannibal as well. The cup is wide open this season and we'd have been at home to Villa,who are there for the taking.We could have made Wembley. Anyway,welcome back and glad to see you haven't taken your bat and ball home mate.. UTC...KTF..Quote:

Clearly there is a divergence of views on this board about the team selected for the FA Cup tie at Preston. It would be boring if we all agreed wouldn?t it? I think promotion back to the Premier League is the priority. I will be more disappointed if we fail to achieve that than I am about missing out on a FA Cup quarter-final.
Lancaster I do take your point as Ive posted not just for Saturday but previously where I said I never put my boots on not to win and neither should ( professionals ).Quote:

Its an easy throw away comment from those on here that it wasnt important ( the game ) as promotion is the aim , but if you read people posts leafing up to the game they wanted to win and thought that we should have - we got Spanked and the rest is history as we simply werent at the races.
For me there was more spunk in the refusal of the handshake than in the entire game of football from us
Hey lets no be ignorant to the fact we need to
Get promoted for the money and to see the best footballers in the world at turf moor - but not at the expense of a lame dont give a $hit attitude in a game , lets not forget these lads are Proffesional and its a job not just a game.
Whilst there is no denying Parker has done well for us considering circumstances dropped on him - I still dont feel hes right for us and his reaction to change personnel shape and whatever is needed has - is costing us at the minute - if its fatal remains to be seen but if we dont go up I reckon well find out.
Good post Outwoodclaret , spot on 👍Quote:
