Dark Munster Posted 7 January, 2011 Share Posted 7 January, 2011 I think we can safely assume that the last thing both managers want is a replay. To avoid a draw, how could they agree to avoid one? Maybe a gentleman's agreement that if one side is winning with 5 minutes left, the losing team agrees not to score in the remaining minutes? Or, if it's tied with 5 minutes left, one prearranged team (e.g. the one losing the toss) "accidentally" scores an own goal or concedes a penalty? All hypothetically of course. Although if this was played in Germany a real possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 7 January, 2011 Share Posted 7 January, 2011 I think we can safely assume that the last thing both managers want is a replay. But a lot of people are saying that extra games (in addition to the League games) are a good thing. Indeed, some people would be happy if we still had JPT games to play this season.... Surely it therefore follows that a replay would be good, as it's yet another game we can do well in and thus gain even more positive vibes. Unless these people are drawing an arbitrary line of course.... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 7 January, 2011 Share Posted 7 January, 2011 good. don't expect to see you with an opinion on the actual match as it means NOTHING If there are injuries or a sending off to key players then it's reasonable for those of us who would not be unhappy if we went out to comment on that part of the game.

Chez Posted 7 January, 2011 Share Posted 7 January, 2011 (edited) those saying that cup games dont effect the league..or what ever. last season the 12 or so cup games last season..we only won 2 league games that followed cup games.. and on a couple of occasions, the cup games stopped winning runs.. we dropped 16+ points in the games immediately after cup games last season... but, that will get dismissed here It will I'm afraid, because you haven't got you facts right, never mind the fact it doesn't paint the whole picture. After league cup games lost to Huddersfield away after Northampton game drew away at Stockport after Brum game After the FA cup games we beat Charlton at home after the Bristol Rovers game beat Wycombe after the Northampton game Drew away against Millwall after Luton game Drew away at Brentford after Ipswich game beat Norwich away after the Pompey game After the JPT games we beat Southend away after Torquay lost to Brighton after Charlton game lost to leeds away after Norwich game beat Ipswich in the cup after MK Dons game 1st leg lost to skates in the cup after second leg drew away at Brighton after Carlise game The only game that ended a run was the Leeds defeat away. Christ they were top if the league and flying, it would not of made a difference what game we had before that game we would have had a tough task. Yes we dropped 21 points, but you do know we dropped points in league games that came after other league games too, 38 in total with mky dodgy maths?

The FA cup us a real trophy, something to be really proud of winning not slightly embaressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lets have a long FA cup run. What I recall was that we were poor after JPT games, the difference with them was that we had to always shuffle the team about a lot more for the JPT because so many players were cup-tied. If I recall correctly for the FA Cup there were fewer players we had to leave out, so we were able to play a more consistent team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 7 January, 2011 Share Posted 7 January, 2011 if extra games has no effect..why will so many teams make sweeping changes this weekend..? surely, most professional managers cant be wrong.

BadgerBadger Posted 7 January, 2011 Share Posted 7 January, 2011 I reckon it's great for teams to play weakend sides if they think it'll help their overall mission of promotion: 1. gives fringe players a chance 2. allows full strength squads that have nothing to lose to progress 4. keeps teams focussed on the bigger picture 3. spices up the FA Cup as *obscure teams have the chance to progress *even if it's a big teams youth side - whichever way you spin it the FA Cup spirit is alive and well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graffito Posted 7 January, 2011 Share Posted 7 January, 2011 I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'll be disappointed if we put out a significantly weakened side.

Bucks Saint Posted 8 January, 2011 Share Posted 8 January, 2011 (edited) and as for Bucks Saints other comment, we have got to be the unluckiest team in the country, first our (now premier league) manager tried to ruin our season by "training the players too hard" (hahahaha), and now it is under threat by WINNING CUP MATCHES. God we have got to be due a change in fortune soon. Thanks for misquoting me. I said check the other threads re pre season. And Nicola said Pardew was to blame pre season re Lambert, not me. And to be clear I would like us to rest some players tomorrow and save them for Tuesday, as I think that is more important. I have not said I want us to lose. I said I want to win both if poss, but Tuesday is my preference May see you tomorrow. More likely Tuesday.

itchen_dan Posted 8 January, 2011 Share Posted 8 January, 2011 I think this could be a really exciting game!

ericofarabia Posted 8 January, 2011 Share Posted 8 January, 2011 With neither side really wanting a replay, it could make for quite an open game. Even a weakened reserve team should make for a tough challenge, lets face it most of them will probably have featured in the Prem at some stage, or most certainly last years promotion winning side, so they won't be a pushover .... even though having said that, looking at their squad I can't say I've ever heard of hardly any of them - but there again i think that about most (all) of the teams who have beaten us this season!! COYS ... a couple of goals for Adam in honour of his new contract and mass hero worship ala MLT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
