5string Posted 28 January, 2017 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.
Rory Peepa Posted 28 January, 2017 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
James Posted 28 January, 2017 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 Posted 28 January, 2017 Josh Sims is the real deal, and is acquitting himself well.
doddisalegend Posted 28 January, 2017 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 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.

Saint Albert Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Sims looking so good again troubling the Arsenal defenders.
northam soul Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Isgrove and Reed have had too many chances and are not good enough
St.Patrik Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 I never believed I would say this but I miss Ward-Prowses corners ; )
aintforever Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 What has Lewis done wrong that Forster would have done differently ? Probably wouldn't have let the second through his legs.
Chris27687 Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 On the plus side - Sims looks like he will turn into a fantastic player.
saintwbu Posted 28 January, 2017 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
adrian lord Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Sims looks like the only player to come out of this with reputation enhanced.
saintwbu Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Am I the only person who has been getting really, really ****ed off with the positioning of referee's lately? They seem to always be in the way, often even cutting off avenue's or being right on the first touch of a player.
VectisSaint Posted 28 January, 2017 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.
DT Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Sims looks like the only player to come out of this with reputation enhanced. Correct. Very depressing to watch. And how Clasie was so revered in Holland is beyond me. Very poor. Tadic and Redmond coming on. The cavalry.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Saint Albert Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Looks like some Saints subs coming up...
Pamplemousse Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 The problem is not having a senior defender in the team. However, with the injury situation, you can't blame Puel for not wanting to risk Yoshida.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Welcome back! You picked a hell of a game to return to. Ooh, well defended Gardos. Yep but enjoyed Wednesday
alpine_saint Posted 28 January, 2017 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
Badger Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 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. Given our lack of options in this position, I think leaving Forster out is the right decision. If he got injured in this match we'd be buggered.
5string Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Am I the only person who has been getting really, really ****ed off with the positioning of referee's lately? They seem to always be in the way, often even cutting off avenue's or being right on the first touch of a player. They're in a no-win situation. Too close, get in the way. Too far, can't make a reliable decision. But, yeah, ref-in-the-way seems to be worse this season.
badgerx16 Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 The problem is not having a senior defender in the team. However, with the injury situation, you can't blame Puel for not wanting to risk Yoshida. Maybe the knock he took to his side / ribs against Liverpool, when he fell awkwardly, is still a bit sore.
aintforever Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 The problem is not having a senior defender in the team. However, with the injury situation, you can't blame Puel for not wanting to risk Yoshida. True. 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.
James Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Given our lack of options in this position, I think leaving Forster out is the right decision. If he got injured in this match we'd be buggered. He could get injured in any game at any time. If we are genuinely resting him to prevent an injury (and realistically any keeper injury will be a freak) then we need better depth.
trousers Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 we are far from safe from relegation Which makes our league game vs Swansea in 3 days quite important then...? Good job we rested most of our starting 11 today in that case...
Ohio Saint Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Looks like we are defending our 3 goal deficit
James Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 True. 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. Totally agree. We are leaving it very late - surely we will get someone in?
Saint Albert Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Tadic and Redmond on. Sanchez on. Isgrove, Long and Wellbeck off.
St Marco Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Keown tearing into Puel. Don't think he is a fan.....

alpine_saint Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Which makes our league game vs Swansea in 3 days quite important then...? Good job we rested most of our starting 11 today in that case... Lets see who lines up next week before indulging in such sarcasm, shall we ???
angelman Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Long off. So surrender complete So if Long gets injured, who is going to be our main striker? Olomola?
badgerx16 Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 I thought Bristol C were buying Isgrove?? Sadly, about his level.

5string Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Clasie...! We seem to have trouble shooting below about 45 feet. Need training from dambusters.
Ohio Saint Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 So now we have brought on tadic to set up 3 goals or get injured? um.....
angelman Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Assume this game is punishment for the fans who only bought tickets to get to Wembley... I went to the Norwich replay, but not this as was supposed to be at a memorial service today. But as the NCFC games was soooooo bad, I presumed today would be the same....and it is.
Donatello Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Given our lack of options in this position, I think leaving Forster out is the right decision. 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.

There is not a chance in hell that we will be involved in any sort of relegation battle.
