It is pretty bad if a CB or LB makes a 1-2 goal difference. I almost don't want to risk Alderweireld this game because I feel he is worth at least 5-10 points if he aggravates his hammy and is subpar the rest of the year.If that is the back four we can put out then I expect to win this professionally, 2 or 3 nil. But if we have to play Wimmer or Davies then it will be closer. I'd say we'd win by a single goal.

If we get the early goal then I could see it being 4-0, but the longer it stays 0-0 the more the crowd will get into it and think they'll get something.
No Van Anholt is big for them, plus Dodgybodgy is banned, Kone might not be back so it could be O'Shea and Lescott at the back for them.
I just hope Alan Shearer and the press allow Poch to pick whatever player in his squad, who are paid massive amounts of money by the club, that he wants.
I mean, god forbid we play the likes of Wimmer, Davies or Sissoko. Imagine if he brings on Janssen....what a fucking disrespect to the PL and a slap in the face to the fans that would be.
Doesnt he know that a squad is 11 players only. You have to play that same 11 every week.....would have been much fairer to the magic of the FA Cup if we went full strength and smashed plucky Wycombe 11-0 wouldnt it.

The more players we play, the more we will know.
The more that we learn, the more places we'll go.

Never change a winning team!!!
Totally agree. The modern game is squad rotation. Shearer is trying to be noticed, he is such a boar he gets over looked quite often because he is so bland. . He has to remind everyone, no one can score a goal like him, no one can celebrate a goal like him and no one has the high moral ground like him. He should have gone to Utd and maybe he might have lightened up a little.Can we just say that every game is a must win.
There are no games more or less important from here on in.
Pundits talking about disrespcting the FA Cup, while disrespecting fringe players at every club.
Yeah, how dare Davies get a game against Wycombe wanderers....Sissoko, Son and Janssen cost 70M, but shouldnt play in the cups?
Fucking hell
:defoe:Not one to be negative, but no Jan or Toby means we leak at least 1 goal
