I'd rest the big players and play the fringe.

 

Something like Bart, Murty, Thomas, Perry, Mills, Waigo, Wotton, James, Holmes, Patterson, Saga.

Was it Barrow in the 60's ??

 

They were still in the league at the time, Div 4 in old money.

 

66/67 season our first in top flight footie, 2-2 at theirs, 3-0 at ours.

 

Over 24000 for the replay which was higher than many of our league games .... back in the days when the FA Cup was special.

Play a strong team and go for the win.

Luton will be up for it,they broke our hearts on a couple of cup occasions back in the day.

I want to see us be professional and beat them.Keep winning habits.COYR

Full strength team! This is a real potential banana skin. Luton have built quite a reputation in the last year as a cup side. They won the JPT last year, remember. We want to be in Round 4 and not lose the current buoyant confidence with a defeat to a non-league side.

Dear Mr Ferguson....

 

Should be addressed to Sir Alex Ferguson too if I'm not mistaken. Makes the address and addressee look a bit weird though, all those peers at the start.

Its only the FA Cup..

 

Ummm for some of us oldies the FA Cup does mean something and always will. Saints would not be the well known team across the world without it.

We must win this, losing to a non league team at home could wreck our season and make us a laughing stock for years to come.

I'm still getting over Tranmere and they were in the league

+1. I totally agree with you, the attitude that the FA Cup doesn't matter gets right on my nerves! However, I do now start to get annoyed with the constant 'magic of the FA Cup' references the BBC/ITV make EVERY year!

Luton will be no push over.

Saw them play Forest Green earlier this sesaon, and they are really quite good for a Blue Square Premier team. They will be up for it, big time. If we play a weak team, I suspect this could be a very humiliating defeat

You do realise we would lose playing that side?

I wouldn't be so sure - be good to see a few of the fringe fighting for a first team space. My point is to rest the big players like Lambert and Hammond - if we're not going to do it in the JPT, I still think we should do it for the FA Cup. Yes it's a big competition but it's another game where players can get suspended/injured. If we go out, we go out, though I don't think we will, even with the fringe.

The FA Cup has given me the greatest memory of my club - Luton have turned over Rotherham, who are better then Northampton, 3-0. Full strength team and through to the 4th round please.

Luton will be bringing a fair number of fans down, and they're a pretty rowdy bunch.
I agree.I have stood in with them and they sing constantly ,also with quite a bit of humour.

My favourite is when eventually the ref gives them a free kick after their perceived bad luck and they sing 'it's a miracle, its a miracle.'
