ismail-villa Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Think we should and will field a strong side. If we can score a goal (or even 2!) it'd improve the confidence of our players. Benteke and Weimann up top, Grealish and Gil in behind. Sanchez and Delph sitting, with Hutton Okore Clark Cissokho as our defence. Given will most likely be in goal. After 60+ mins bring on Robinson for either Benteke or Robinson. We need some goals desperately. But I fear that we'll either lose without scoring, or just about score and progress (which is the most important thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rodders Posted January 18, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2015 Bluntly, I hope we lose as we hardly need a cup run tiring players out. I know, I know, I'd love to win the FA Cup as well, but it has to be a season we're not in a relegation battle. We should play all the squad irregulars and see what happens, but obviously that'll never happen. Christ No. Cups are the only thing retaining any interest of opportunity for us at the moment. The league is so utterly insufferable dull, this escapist route through the cups is vital! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermie123 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Well if you saw the performance against the journeymen of Blackpool and i for one fell asleep during it imagine what kind of game Bournemouth is going to be!!!! They are miles better than us lets face the fact. They may also be the club that replaces us in the Premiere League next season we have to acknowledge this as unpalatable as it sounds!!!!

PaulC Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Bournemouth have scored 57 goals we have scored 11 lol. I think it will be a very attractive game to watch but we will need more than one goal to win.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westholmevillan Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 This game will turn our season around. A comfortable 2 or 3 nil win and into the 5th round. Will do our confidence alot of good with this convincing win! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should play all the squad irregulars and see what happens, but obviously that'll never happen. Rubbish. I doubt 38 games and our massive 1 league cup game has tired the poor lambs out that much. I want us to go as far as we can in the cup, to distract me from the mind-numbing tedium of seeing Villa try and come 15th again in the league.

Mantis Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Really hope Gil starts this. " Eddie Howe and his claret and blue army " , that is how the Holte should get it's message across . Remember Norwich ? Yes, and remember who it is that we all want sacked right now? Howe is literally what Lambert was 3/4 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Don't know what the score will be. Hope we win. Won't be massively sad if we lose. Edited January 18, 2015 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should play all the squad irregulars and see what happens, but obviously that'll never happen. If you want to lose a cup game do it at a later stage against a big team. This should be seen as an opportunity to fix or at least work on the atrocious scoring record. If you'd like us to lose this then all hell is probably gonna break lose by a few games' time. We'd easily be on another 5 game losing streak by then and as little as 3, 2 or even fewer goals scored in this run. Won't be a pretty sight then.

pacbuddies Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Bournemouth have only failed to score twice this season with the last time being a 0-0 draw back on 8th November so logic would suggest that they are quite likely to score against us which means we will then have to do something very alien to us this season and score at least twice in the same game if we wish to progress. I don't expect us to progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeParker91 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Guzan Hutton Okore Clark Richardson Sanchez Gil Delph Weimann Grealish Benteke I normally berate Weimann but he linked up well with Gil against 'plop and a confidence boost would especially do him a world of good. I wouldn't even have Cleverley on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do our confidence alot of good with this convincing win! Can't see it turning things around. I think any confidence gained will be smashed back out by arsenal and Chelsea.

JoeParker91 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I'd rest Cissokho and Richardson would offer more going forward, so when Jack cuts inside he'd maintain the width for us. I wouldn't play him in the league however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 We really need a win and a goal to give the team a reminder that they can do both. I would go for the team that ended the game on Saturday with Clark in for Baker and Westwood in for Gabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2015 Strongest team we have and Gil and Benteke must feature - we have to get those two used to each other quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
