I am not saying that we are going to win the trophy but we are not the outsiders that 25 to 1 would imply. Long way to go. With the cup you're in with a chance up until the point you're not, and our next round is pretty tough. If we get a favourable draw for the quarters (there are a decent number of lower down teams left in) then at least we can dream about another Wembley semi.

They seem to prefer creating more segregation leaving block next to Itchen North empty and giving up whole end to away fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly a long way to go, but home draws can't be sniffed at as it gives us a great chance to get to the last 8. From there anything can happen to be honest. We've put ourselves in a great position whereby we can go a bit stronger in these games if we wanted to as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said they used to get a bit of Block 41 and the rest of the Northam. I was lucky enough that for the big cup games when teams got the full 15% I never had to move from my seat in Block 41, but I would end up about 3 seats from the away fans. The noise we made in the Pompey FA cup games, or the 2003 run show how stupid it is of the club to hand over that noise advantage to the away fans. Bit of a ropey screen grab but this shows what SMS looked like with 15% Skates in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why we don't just give them a few more hundred tickets rather than leaving empty seats in the Northam. West Ham really should be aiming for Top 4 Europa league Fa cup In that order so with many fixtures coming up let's hope it works in our favour.

For West Ham, which is an infinitely more important match, the only change I would make is Perraud for Tino, and move KWP to the right. Possibly Stephens for Bednarek if push comes to shove. West Ham are very dangerous from set-pieces and we need to ensure that our team selection reflects that. Against Norwich, Tino marked Gibson the Norwich centre half. He isn't as dangerous as Hanley but I think it reflects on the trust Ralph has on Tino's defensive abilities against set-pieces that he was given that duty. Tino has the height and physicality that KWP and Perraud just don't possess. So from my perspective, I would keep Tino in against West Ham - plus he has had good games against Everton and Norwich creating 2 assists. We should find a way to bring Perraud back in against Villa. I quite liked the late experiment of KWP playing in front of Tino against Man U and it could be considered if Ralph decided that S Armstrong needed a rest. I've always felt that Bednarek was stronger than Stephens in the air, so for the same reasons as above, I'd keep Bednarek in the team. I seem to recall that Ralph played 4-1-4-1 against West Ham for the two earlier games this season, so it wouldn't completely surprise me if he had a slightly more defensive set-up than the usual 4-2-2-2. Maybe a back 3 ? I don't pick the team, but if I did, I wouldn't change the players or the formation from the Norwich game - we have confidence at the moment in our own style so if we have to make enforced changes due to tiredness leave that for the Villa game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 27 February, 2022 Share Posted 27 February, 2022 I would play same team as Friday, we will have had two days more rest/recovery time than West Ham then if needed make a couple of changes or so for Villa away then back to full strength for the visit of the Covid Kings the following Thursday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 27 February, 2022 Share Posted 27 February, 2022 WHU playing what is probably their strongest team against Wolves this afternoon. They go to Anfield after our midweek fixture the following week. I'm hoping that they opt to throw the FA Cup this season, with where they are in the League as well as Europa League, it should be their lowest priority? I guess we shall see, even Antonio has admitted things have recently been a bit stale for them and they look burnt out. Let's not forget it took a 120th minute goal against non-League Kidderminster to go through. Strongest team for Wednesday, need to make sure we are loud as WHU fans will have the whole Northam to spur them on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiberalCommunist Posted 27 February, 2022 Share Posted 27 February, 2022 I'm hoping the 2nd half will be more energy sapping than that. Both teams just mincing about with little concern.

Jimmy_D Posted 27 February, 2022 Share Posted 27 February, 2022 Got to think this is a decent chance for us, extra rest, in good form, at home, and West Ham may well still have one eye on the top four race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Left Back Posted 27 February, 2022 Share Posted 27 February, 2022 Strongest team possible for this one please Ralph, which I guess would mean the same as the last two games unless someone has some fatigue or a niggle. The games against Everton and Norwich were so comfortable that I'd be surprised if there's any fatigue. We are in a state of flow at the moment so I'm guessing Ralph will only make changes if the medical team recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think you are correct I am fairly confident we can win as WH will be trying to get as high as possible in the PL as their chances of winning the cup like ours are small with the team still likely to be in the QF Of course our position in the PL is important but arguably not as important as West Ham's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_lambden Posted 27 February, 2022 Share Posted 27 February, 2022 Nearly 2 days extra rest than them and safe in the league should = full strength side.
