Love games like these, I was a non-league season ticket holder with my dad and brother as a kid and went to FA Cup games at Watford (lost 4-2), Brentford (won in a replay) and Shrewsbury (lost 2-1) and the atmosphere is something else. Other side of the coin I've seen Everton beat Woking 1-0; Woking were a credit to their league (and most of the crowd stayed to applaud them on a lap of honour), and Telford 3-0; Telford were total dicks who tried to kick us off the park. Will be a good day. Seen in interviews the Boreham Wood chairman re-mortgaged his house to get them through covid, and paid all the staff 100% of their wages. It'll be live on TV for sure and they'll make a mint, happy days. nyblue23, Romey 1878 and StevO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one mate, it almost seems a shame we are going to knock him out in the next round. When they announce his name in the line up he should get the biggest roar of the night, he’s definitely going to leave Goodison the happiest loser ever. There’s only one Kane Smith. nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it does make it an easier game for us (in theory!) but these clubs survive because of the FA Cup and ties like the one against us. They'll sell out their allocation (unlike Brentford) and I hope as many of our fans as possible buy tickets for this despite it being a midweek game. Edit - That being said, I hope we absolutely tonk them and embarrass them tbh. nyblue23 and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping the same, it will be a great revenue boost for them, there will probably be loads of juniors at the game at £5 each which I think is great. If they play like they did yesterday I will be a tougher game than were expecting, but I’d hope we’re a bit better than Bournemouth who were really poor IMO.

They just parked the bus and Bournemouth’s attack couldn’t figure it out. They won with 18% possession. I’d like to think our front line has a bit more creativity about them than Bournemouth’s.

Southampton to beat Manchester City who are too focussed on the league and Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield to put together a combined XI to knock out Liverpool. Everton to walk their way past Crystal Palace before being given a bye in the semi and final as the teams left in it are terrified of playing against a Frank Lampard side who are firing on all cylinders.

I take your point, which is pessimistic because realistic. My comment about the international break was posted before the catastrophe at Spurs. So now, after Spurs, we all have reason to think the Cup match with Palace is already a lost cause. And to think Lampard’s priority must and will be the crucial upcoming home matches with Wolves and Newcastle. My point originally, in a thread on the FA Cup, was that playing in London on Sunday after a crucial Thursday night home match meant Lampard might be forced into serious squad rotation, complicated by injuries, uncertain recoveries, etc. But the saving grace, I thought — and hope to think again after the Newcastle match — is that since the international break follows the Palace match, Lampard will be free to play the most in-form players, knowing they’ll have time to recover over the break. That we have so many in-hand matches both gives us some hope for survival but makes for an unusually crowded April and May. If we take 6 points from our next 2 matches, or even 4 if that includes beating Newcastle, this thread will take on some renewed interest, and at least some will talk as if we might surprise Palace. If, however, we take anything less than 4 from the next 2, this thread will probably die from lack of interest. Or disgust.

Not all, I want us to win today, the more games we win the better for our confidence, and getting an away win could re install some of the lost confidence we seem to have when we’re away. I’ll take a scrappy win of any score. Palfy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
