    FA Cup - Are we bothered?

    Personally I think we should concentrate on finishing the season in the Top Two in the Championship and forget all about the FA Cup.

    Let's do a Dyche and bin it.

    Totally opposite for me, if we do go up it will be an omnishambles as we get spanked week after week and come straight back down. Bugger that for a game of soldiers, let's have a good run in the Cup, get to Wembley and lift that jug.

    Mr Pace wants the money though, so Scott will be playing the stiffs on Saturday.

    What an odd post!

    If we are going to get "spanked" week in week out in the EPL, how on earth will we make Wembley? I watched Newcastle last night we would have zero chance of progressing against that lot.

    I have more chance of banging the lovely Ms Lopez than we have of lifting the jug.

    Our best bet is to go up with Leeds and hope for the best.

    Referring to our second choice team as "stiffs" is bloody bad form too#

    Well Nick a goal and play possession football for 80 mins and defend for our lives BT - it?s obvious

    One off games are different really to playing that level weekly - Millwall did it ( luck of fixture draw I suppose ).

    He is right though about the premiership I know you and Ballcock think otherwise but we couldn?t play how we do know if we went up it would be embarrassing

    Of course they are the 'stiffs', they're not second choice for nothing. 'Second choice' my arse, don't be so mard, they're the bloody stiffs.

    I'd like to see our stiffs go head-to-head with Clitheroe.

    I had a look at Clitheroe's latest addition to their collection of Black Holers on Tuesday night, Ntumba Massanka. To say he was anonymous is about as kind as I can get. Young Jack McEvilly had another sound game, he's still only a ****ager but he's a big strong lad, he doesn't look exceptional but he's plenty of time to develop and I wouldn't be writing him off just yet. Good luck to the lad.

    More to the point, can our Stiffs see off the Saints ? I reckon they will.

    I think it's a good chance to give some of the new and recovering players an outing as I said in another post. Who knows they may still progress with Trafford in the nets.

    Very tricky, you don't want key players to get injured and you don't want to get whacked. I would start with a weaker(experimental) team and have the better players as substitutes. Getting promotion has to have priority.
