The cup - surreymag - 24-01-2020
I wonder what sort of team we will put out against Oxford. A few seasons ago Oxford played my local team in the first round mega excitement for a place with only 8,000 population. Didn’t end well Oxford won 5-0. The same year we lost 3-0 in the 4th round to them. Let’s hope for a better result this time round.

Its an interesting one and I would hate to second guess cabbage heeds approach. If it were me I think I might be inclined to go three at the back, 4 or 5 in midfield and 2 or three up top. A strong midfield both to contain the play then shift the ball forwards quickly would be my game plan.

Fuk me if they are as bad as the mackems tonight it should be comfortable... What a shit league
I'm gonna do a Scriv and say 4-0 if we turn up

Lucky to get a draw according to the chaps on the bbc.
RE: The cup - surreymag - 29-01-2020

West Brom tonight and Bruce is beginning to sound like he's losing the plot and the players.
Still for once maybe the backing of 5000 fans will get us into the quarters ffs West Brom are at least as shyte as us
RE: The cup - surreymag - 03-03-2020
I enjoyed that game although we don’t make it easy. Still quarter final game to look forward to a happy watch for a change!
RE: The cup - Scrivenator - 04-03-2020
Miggy and ASM are dynamite. MOM for me was Miggy, its no coincidence he performs at his best in his natural position as a number 10. Wonder if wor Bruce manages to see the obvious?
We still managed to lose it after we subbed off our two best players and there man kinovocik or whatever he's called made one hell of an impression and had a massive impact on their game. I really liked the look of their Phillips as well, their best player I thought.
RE: The cup - exenrique - 04-03-2020
What was Bruce thinking taking miggy off ? Despite being a constant goal threat, he was
constantly dragging their defence and midfield out of position.Thus allowing our midfield to
play higher up. So instead we add another midfielder. W.B.A. must have thought xmas had come early
resulting in us being under a 30 min barrage. I'm afraid Bruce has lost it (if he ever had it ).

Just a bit excitement man he was worried the home crowd had become bored ...top top tactics imo

I thought it a good idea to sub off Miggy on principle, on the basis that the game was, or should have been effectively over, then save him for the next game, same as with ASM, as they are our best outfield attacking players.
The problem is, we are severely lacking in quality in depth as a squad and so don't have comparable like for like players as subs which is more telling and a major worry.
I'd forgotten all about the draw last night an have just checked. We've got Man Citeh.
RE: The cup - surreymag - 05-03-2020
Yes easy draw. At least if we get beat it will not be a surprise.
RE: The cup - sossujrurl - 06-03-2020
A decent little cup run is a nice distraction from the utter shite in the league.
RE: The cup - veriaqa - 06-03-2020
and distraction from the shite owner too... it's convenient
RE: The cup - Scrivenator - 28-06-2020
Well, Man shitty today. Anyone else agree this is the day our cup "run" ends?
RE: The cup - veriaqa - 28-06-2020
At least we didn't get humiliated.
Although the first half performace is quite humiliating...
RE: The cup - surreymag - 28-06-2020
It was better 2nd half and that miss by Gayle oops. They are some side to watch Man City but they do have a mistake in them at the back. Can’t see Arsenal halting their progress their defence is shocking. I predict Man City v Chelsea final. Another season fizzles out.
RE: The cup - Scrivenator - 28-06-2020
Kevin de Bruyne.
Best player in the League by a country mile. Arguably the best in the world shaded by Messi
