I honestly don't care if we do or don't win, I know that's a shit team.

I’m all for playing Bellegarde in the middle of midfield.

Let’s see if he’s as awful in his natural position as he is everywhere else.

I'm not sure we've actually put him there since his first two games vs Liverpool and Luton.

I don't think he'll be any good but we have used him in a very strange way. We have put him at wing back and up front in the last 12 months.

You’re right, we haven’t.

To be fair to him, and as much as I haven’t rated him, can’t be easy coming to a new country, into a far more demanding league……and then playing in positions you’ve never played before.

Lemina is out with illness according to Keen.

Lemina is out with illness according to Keen.

Same illness that Johnstone has had for the last eight weeks.

Is there a reason its a 12pm kick off? I hadn't even realised until now!

Ah! They love the smell of 'cup shock' in the morning...

Gets the weekend disappointment out the way early

Anyone watch Vítor’s presser yesterday? Any news?

Johnstone starting then

Johnstone starting then

He looked fat before the Christmas break. At least he should keep warm out there. R Gomes is going to freeze.

 

[Mild 'n' Scratchins]

Don't want to throw this game. It's the cup after all and I'm of an age where the cup mattered, and I can't shake that, even accounting for PL millions! So hoping we have a smattering of PL experience in the side. The only player that I would defo rest is Joao Gomes. I'd like to see this side: Sa, Lima, Pond, Agabadou, Bastien Meupiyou, R.Gomes, Andre, Bellegarde, RAN, Hwang, Forbs. UTW!

Don't think that's a million miles away from what it will be tbh. Although Vitor hinted that Johnstone would be in goal. Maybe Doyle instead of Andre or Bellegarde.

Keeper and arguably RB aside that's as strong as we could be, not what I'd have done. Have to win now. 433 or a 5 with Gomes moving to the right?

1st team apart from Sa!

 

[sycophantia]

Gone stronger than I expected, maybe to try and get the game won then make subs second half. Hope it doesn't end in tears.
