If we do go out at the QF stage then the silver lining is more recovery time to focus on survival.

It’s literally the best fun as I had as a saints fan, when we were in the championship and league 1 and going to games on a Saturday then Wednesday. All teams around us are in the same boat as well. And we all know that we’ve got a squad that is large but mediocre, so we can swap like for like at will.

Weep as much as you want you utter melt, but I imagine what he was referring to was the fact we have a woefully bad and small squad which won’t handle playing every few days. It won’t be much fun either, as it should be, because we’re likely to lose most of them. Watching us win or compete every few days is fun, watching us lose every few days not so much.

Cheer up, its Christmas x x x x My point is the people who value "rest" and obsess about fixture pile up will do it regardless of how good we are. We probably will go down because we're not very good. If you honestly believe that if we s p r e a d t h e g a m e s o u t so that our delicate flowers only ever played once every eight days then we'd magically turn into a wonder team the you're more thick than I already thought you were. Maybe a tight run of games will help build the team and the ideas the new manager wants in place. Maybe that.

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 23 December, 2022 Share Posted 23 December, 2022 Waste of time. The big clubs are simply too powerful now and the days of overturning them in the Cups are receding. The playing field is nothing like level.

One is allowed to worry about a fixture congestion that the club simply does not have the resources to cope with. First time I've been lumped in with a 'generation', mine sadly is old fart. I do totally agree they should take it in their stride. They do in the EFL, so why not the Prem. Hopefully January will bring in some reinforcements.

It is better than being drawn away and losing at the likes of Newcastle or Leicester. And...

Saint Keef Posted 23 December, 2022 Share Posted 23 December, 2022 City's fixture congestion around our game looks interesting though. 5th Jan - Away to Chelsea - Premier League 8th Jan - Home to Chelsea - FA Cup 10th Jan - Away to Saints - EFL Cup 14th Jan - Away to Man Utd - Premier League. In terms of overall "importance" to them, I would suggest ours is the least important. Just trying to spread a little cheer on here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 23 December, 2022 Share Posted 23 December, 2022 Not exactly the best draw, but at least it’s at home. The Club will give away the biggest allocation of the Northam they possibly can, diminishing further still what is an already quiet ‘home end’. So a pretty shit atmosphere to kick things off. Even if they play their 2nd team we’ll get a good tonking the way we’ve been playing, so the most positivity I can muster for this is that it will provide much needed game time for the two new super-signing attackers we’ll be getting. Yeah right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
