5string Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 Been away ,did you miss me:D It seems we have some new whiners, where is the a team? Welcome back! You picked a hell of a game to return to. Ooh, well defended Gardos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Peepa Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 some of you really make me laugh.....I had no doubts that virtually the whole first team would be rested after Wednesdays brilliant result and effort by the players. We do not have the squad depth and hopefully in the next 72 hours we will see some incomings. We were always going to lose today after Wednesday night and i personally dont want to risk anymore first teamers being injured when we are already going to Wembley Well why don't we have the squad depth?! Supposed to be Europe ready but we can't play on Wednesday and Saturday? And we need to change 10 players?! If the club are going to do this, how about we charge a quid? FA cup has become a joke. Sad. We're not the only ones at it but it it's a bit of **** take to be honest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 What has Lewis done wrong that Forster would have done differently ? Might have stopped the second goal but I agree, the keeper is basically irrelevant. It's the consistent rotation of Bertrand and Cedric that kills us IMO.

adrian lord Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 Josh Sims is the real deal, and is acquitting himself well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 I think it's more to do with the amount of foreign managers who just don't understand the meaning of the FA Cup Well it does seem we have this same conservation every season since Nigel left. I seem to remember us putting out pretty strong sides in the cups when we were in the lower leagues no resting everyone and putting out the kids.

Donatello Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 What has Lewis done wrong that Forster would have done differently ? Nothing, but the claim was that players who played on Wednesday needed a rest. Resting Forster epitomises resting a player for the sake of it.

saintwbu Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 Its amazing how lower league players cope considering how many games they play. I have no problem with rotation but I refuse to believe none of our senior players could manage a second game today. I'm not saying they couldn't have, i'm saying the idea that you can say 'I won't rest them today i'll rest them for the next game' has the same results is just stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 I think changes were necessary, but maybe we should have started with some of those on the bench (Yoshi, Tadic & Redmond instead of Stephens, Isgrove & Hojbjerg, for example?), then later in the game brought on some of today's starters. Bit of experience at the start of the game can work wonders for influencing youngsters & showing them the ropes. Agreed, think that one experienced head in this team would have made a world of difference, problem is that we don't have many that aren't injured. Romeu, Davis or Yoshida probably the only real options (I'm ignoring Tadic as he wouldn't have brought what was needed), situation made worse by letting Fonte leave early in the window. Problem is that this could seriously damage the confidence of players like Stephens and McQueen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 28 January, 2017 Share Posted 28 January, 2017 I tought we were playing tomorrow. Just seen the score. Looking at the line-up, two thoughts come to mind : 1. Having reached one cup final, the club dont give a shiny one about the burden of trying to reach another 2. If we have so many injuries, and are so unwilling to cough up for transfers that this is the type of lineup we will have in the league, we are far from safe from relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed needs to get off his ass and sign a centre back because if Yoshida picks up a knock we will end up with these two against Utd at Wembley.

If we are genuinely resting him to prevent an injury (and realistically any keeper injury will be a freak) then we need better depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he got injured in this match we'd be buggered. With the greatest of respect, this rationale makes precisely zero sense to moi. What if he gets injured on Tuesday? Or next Saturday? Should we bench the entire team until the final? :S I'm not even bothered that Forster isn't playing, but it does highlight Puel's occasional knack for over-indulging his rotation policy.
