A12owl 9,558 Posted December 2, 2019 Monk needs to put a team out to WIN the tie. If supporters are going to make an 8 hour 460 round trip he should make sure that all our best players are on the pitch . Giving our impending problem in the EFL and a possible relegation (worst case scenario) then he should be chucking everything on trying to win the tie . There may be a money spinning tie in 4th round . 7 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alanharper 25,611 Posted December 2, 2019 I hope we do have a real go at them, but I doubt we will. Probably play the likes of Bates, Pelupessy, Winnall and Rhodes. We've got 7 important league games to worry about before that though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Snooty 44,290 Posted December 2, 2019 He'll put the stiffs in, with a few who need a bit more to build up to speed. Won't he? Westwood Baker Lees Bates Thorniley Murphy Lee Pelupessy Reach Winnall Rhodes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Westwood Baker Lees Bates Thorniley Murphy Lee Pelupessy Reach Winnall Rhodes can you imagine travelling 4-5 hours to get there and that's our line up ,then I guess the game will be played at 1230 on Saturday or sunday ,so that might mean a 5am wake up call ,maybe shovelling snow out of the way . anyone going all that way especially if it ends up been a 1230 am kick off deserves an extra 100 priority points and a free beer in the ground at least. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
