The Kraken Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Ouch. Play about too much with the line up and we'll come unstuck. Good draw.
Tomobz Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Loads of all premier League games, really hope we take this seriously. Great chance of a good cup run here
Batman Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Man United v swansea Norwich v Fulham WBA v Palace Blackburn v Man City Everton v QPR Arsenal v Spurs (on telly)
Batman Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 wonder how much brunley will rotate, given they are fighting it out at the top of the league
DuncanRG Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 wonder how much brunley will rotate, given they are fighting it out at the top of the league I did wonder this, out the back of the Christmas period as well. Not one to play all the kids in, capable as they are
Batman Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 burnley fan reaction Can't think of many worse draws than that, let's concentrate on the league.
Lighthouse Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 I would be surprised if Burnley put out a full strength team for this, promotion is worth so much more to them than a small cup run (realistically, they aren't going to win it). I would also put out a reserve team as the fixtures always pile up around this time of year. Maybe give Banega his debut too. Kelvin Chambers - Yoshi - Tuesday night Jos - Fox Cork - Reed Davis - Gaston - Isgrove Lambert That would pretty much have been our first 11 at the start of last season and it should have enough quality to do the business against Burnley reserves.
beatlesaint Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Nobody yet moaned about it being a boring draw or a meh draw ?
Ohio Saint Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Nobody yet moaned about it being a boring draw or a meh draw ? Premier team V Championship leaders, If I were a neutral, I would say it were an interesting tie.
lickierambert Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Good draw for us, home to a lower league side. 5 all premier league ties as well, and Chelsea, West Ham, Everton all have pretty tough games.
Batman Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 can see a few changes from us. hopefully, not many home to chelsea a few days before and then home to WBA just after

Anyone know what's happened to Isgrove? He was at the top of the "Under 21s getting onto the 1st team bench" list a while back but the likes of Reed seem to have over-taken him? I don't think he's turned out for the U21s much this year either? Injured maybe?
Lighthouse Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Nobody yet moaned about it being a boring draw or a meh draw ? Hopefully most people have realised that there are 63 teams in the draw and only about 5 of them aren't 'boring'. In the last 5 years we've had Man Utd twice and Chelsea in the 3rd round so we can't really moan about boring ties.
WealdSaint Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 (edited) Will be a good game I think. We will only win if we put our best side out, mind you with curent crop of injuries, hard to know what our best side will be by then! Edited 8 December, 2013 by WealdSaint
paulwantsapint Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Could really do with tickets being cheap to try to get a big crowd Jay rod, cork & fox should all be well up for this one
Saint_Jonny Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Good draw, hope we play a strong side and get through. Good chance to go a long way if we commit to the FA Cup this season.
VectisSaint Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Could be a tricky game, they play some nice football and are top of the Championship, so are no mugs. Good for JRod, lets hope no-one gets sentimental and considers playing Fox against his old team though. We must put out a strong side, with 5 PL teams guaranteed to be knocked out this is a trophy we stand a chance of winning (unlike the LC which was beginning to look very tough with all the big guns still in).
Griffo Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Expensive tickets, attendance of about 15k and a narrow win with our second string playing mainly. Zzzz
SNSUN Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 PLay them off the park, beat them handsomely, and put in offers for Ings and Trippier at the final whistle. Cushty.
John Boy Saint Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Should be a good game Sean Dyche, one of footballs least glamourous hard working managers, certainly has Burnley going well.
Lighthouse Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 PLay them off the park, beat them handsomely, and put in offers for Ings and Trippier at the final whistle. Cushty. Trippier being their RB
Wiggles31 Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Not a bad draw. Will be disappointed if this is not taken seriously. Our biggest chance of success this season lies with the FA cup. Love the FA cup.
Golden Balls Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Just hope the tickets are priced sensibly. We obviously won't put a good team out which is annoying.
Ohio Saint Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Just hope the tickets are priced sensibly. We obviously won't put a good team out which is annoying. I dunno about what our policy may be on the FA cup after recent results. Hopefully, with the best we can possibly hope for is a very unlikely top four finish, NC will give the nod for a proper try at the cup? I hope so.......
SNSUN Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Trippier being their RB Sure. Replacement for Clyne when United come in with a £35 million bid. :-) (I was joking about the OP)
Charlie Wayman Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 They'll field their third team as they will prioritise automatic from the Championship. 4-1 to Saints, when's the 4th Round Draw?
Dig Dig Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Good opportunity to play some of the fringe players in order to allow the others to focus on the league.
Ohio Saint Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 I predict that both teams will assume the other team will be fielding weaker teams, so both teams will play their strongest teams in the hope of thrashing each other. Both teams will get so worked up trying to beat each other it will end up like it does in the movies...They fight and quarrel, then it ends up in a snog fest and everyone gets banged in a heat of passion.

Ohio Saint Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 How did you find the match highlights BEFORE the game was played!? LOL
Glasgow_Saint Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 We need to take this serious, no messing about like the league cup. If we chuck both cups and finish 8th - 15th its a joke
Dig Dig Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 We need to take this serious, no messing about like the league cup. If we chuck both cups and finish 8th - 15th its a joke What about 7th mate?
spyinthesky Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 I was one of the 8,000 or so who forked out £22 to watch was basically our second string struggle to beat Bristol City in the League Cup. Team looked strong enough on paper to beat Div 1 basement dwellers but if it hadn't been for Kelvin Davies we might not have got through We will need to be relatively strong for this fixture and prices will have to be reasonable too
IFHP Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Could really do with tickets being cheap to try to get a big crowd Jay rod, cork & fox should all be well up for this one Cheaper than a league game maybe, just. Can see them being around £25
Glasgow_Saint Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 What about 7th mate? Top 7 and no cup run is ok
Lambert1979 Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Already sorted Are you talking about Nathan who lived in Whiteley, moved to oz a couple of years back, used to be in the Northam, block 42 - used to sit next to him if so, would be good to catch up!
Barry Sanchez Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 This is a good draw, Burnley unlike us have a valid reason to play a weakened side and they will and I am pretty confident we will run out comfortable winners on this occasion if we play like we did yesterday and have at home for most of the year, slowing the game and keeping the ball could be key as to creating space and tiring them out.
captainchris Posted 8 December, 2013 Posted 8 December, 2013 Nice draw. JRod will be happy Not ad happy as Danny Ings though !!!
RedWillie Posted 9 December, 2013 Posted 9 December, 2013 Or Sam Vokes who's family are from Lymington and all Saints fans !!
Cabrone Posted 9 December, 2013 Posted 9 December, 2013 Tricky draw but an interesting one too. I hope we take the FA cup seriously, it's our one chance of silverware left and we have a fighting chance of winning it. Put out our best team and we should get through although Burnley play some good stuff and will have their tails up.
Window Cleaner Posted 9 December, 2013 Posted 9 December, 2013 Tough game, 50/50 chance I'd think, depends what side we put out.
del boy Posted 9 December, 2013 Posted 9 December, 2013 We need to take this serious, no messing about like the league cup. If we chuck both cups and finish 8th - 15th its a joke Yeh, a couple of years ago we'd have laughed ourselves silly at the thought of being 8th in the EPL
