Saint Claude Van Damme Posted 5 January, 2018 Share Posted 5 January, 2018 As has already been asked by others (and not answered as far as I can tell) what pubs will everyone be in before the game? Not been to Fulham and want to know where to head for pre game drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilwaukeeSaint Posted 5 January, 2018 Share Posted 5 January, 2018 I'm expecting the worst possible result... a draw. Having a replay next week is the last thing we need at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it will be a draw too. Hopefully the replay is a chance for a new manager to take a look at some players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumstead_Saint Posted 5 January, 2018 Share Posted 5 January, 2018 We need a good win for the feel good factor; and games where the team can hopefully get sorted as there are three spare Saturdays otherwise and we have always been worse after an enforced lay off; no need to rotate now one game a week is ideal for everyone and I always like a good FA Cup run can't help it being the age I am… Come On You Reds!! Is it just me or has anybody else accepted the fact the puellegrino won't get sacked under any circumstances this season? Fulham game appears ideal at it's not a six pointer but its still a chance to gain whatever amount of confidence we can from winning and scoring a few. On the plus side, it’ll be a good day out regardless, never been to Craven Cottage before but heard it’s a good away day. Still want us to win as it may give us the smallest bit of confidence. That said, if we lost and it gets MP the boot then it wouldn’t be a terrible outcome.. Be angry at Pellgrino, Reed, Krueger etc all you like before and after the game. But for 90 minutes support the team because we need wins and confidence I'm with you lot. Hoping I see Long and Gabbi start, Saints score 3 and restore some pride..

Won't try and 2nd guess The Tinkerer and predict who will score as i and probably he hasn't a clue who is playing yet Hope it is a Happy #win day for the 5000 fans making the effort. #COYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 6 January, 2018 Share Posted 6 January, 2018 Despite working Nights all week (I finish in half an hour), I'll be there today with little sleep and tons of adrenaline. My mate is a Fulham fan so him, me, my wife and his girlfriend (who has never been to a football match before) will be sat in the neutral block, as she bought tickets for him for Christmas. I fully expect us to lose this - Fulham aren't a bad side (3rd in the Championship form table) and we're 20th in the Premier League form table for a reason. If it gets Pellegrino the sack, I'm all for a loss as it's in a campaign we don't particularly need in our season. It'll be another mix and match team IMO. Something like: Forster Pied Stephens Yoshida Targett Lemina Romeu Redmond Davis Tadic Gabbiadini ...though trying to predict the line up with our manager in charge is nigh on impossible.

BotleySaint Posted 6 January, 2018 Share Posted 6 January, 2018 Another drab encounter where we only manage a few shots on goal all game despite dominating posession. 2-1 Fulham with MP's job position unaffected as it's only a cup game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 6 January, 2018 Share Posted 6 January, 2018 The main thing in our favour is the fact that Fulham are as likely to be non-plussed about the cup as they I guess still harbour some hope for the play offs. I'm seeing a drab draw unless Boufal or Redmond take the opportunity to showboat against a Championship defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted 6 January, 2018 Share Posted 6 January, 2018 I think we'll score early, then not have another effort on goal. Standard really. Think it'll be 2-1 or 3-1 Fulham. Scoring early is a disaster for any Saints performance at the moment - Pell just calls back the attacks as soon as we score and we sit back until the inevitable happens.

SuperSAINT Posted 6 January, 2018 Share Posted 6 January, 2018 Anytime I try & get optimistic for this match, I remember the match vs Wolves reserves where we got battered. That really was the zenith of sh*tness in a fairly sh*tty season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the score would’ve been had Everton not equalised just before half time. Maybe that’s the secret -make sure we’re drawing at half time.

Suhari Posted 6 January, 2018 Share Posted 6 January, 2018 McCarthy, Bednarek, Stephens, Yoshida, Bertrand, Romeu, Davis ©, Ward-Prowse, Højbjerg, Boufal, Long. So is that Stephens at RB, or a back e with JWP as right wing-back? Not a lot of creativity in that midfield. Will be interesting to see who is furthest forward of Davis & PEH.

Greedyfly Posted 6 January, 2018 Share Posted 6 January, 2018 Well that team should be good enough to win really Should it? It's genuinely awful.

S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2018 Share Posted 6 January, 2018 Claude Puels team managed 0 shots on target against Fleetwood today, that's more like the Puel I remember They're not really struck on him. I just don't see why people are defending the manager. There is nothing to like about him. Constant changes (sometimes for no reason), an utterly depressing and ineffective style of football and a complete disregard for the fans who want to see their team try to win a trophy. The only argument in his defence is that he hasn't been here long, but he's been here long enough for people to see he's not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
