Barton Saint

Not quite a must win game but with 4 away games coming up it feels like it given the points squeeze just below the play offs

Just had email 4211 tickets full allocation on sale to the usual crowd next week

No! Hampshire born and bred who spent many years working in Greater London…anyway the original point was trying to draw some correlation with 1976 so if we end up playing Man City in the Final then it truly would be ironic

Well it is south of the A4 and nearer the South Circular than the North..

So far in this 50 year anniversary cup run; Beaten a Yorkshire team away (Doncaster = Bradford) Beaten a Midlands team in extra time (Leicester =Villa) Now a South London team virtually in Chelsea! (Fulham = Palace )

On the above replies I want us to win every game for sure! Just if I had a choice I would rather be keep a strong team for a cup run , not put out a weak team get beat and then don’t manage to get to 6th place or higher

As we really don’t want to get into the playoffs and be disappointed I would rather we take the opportunity to get into a celebratory cup run and ultimately test ourselves against a PL team in the QF or indeed another day out at Wembley in a semi

So so so much better simple really.. Only got a bit nervy the last few minutes with the front subs not doing enough But the referee and the clown in front of the Itchen were shocking!

It wouldn’t be so worrying if we had a team like last time in Division 3 when we had Sir Rickie Jose Fonte baby Adam Alex Guly Richard Lee etc etc and a sensible manager…. But honestly if we get relegated and more leave we will struggle yet again Need a phoenix from the Ashes

Well at least as we know Bree can thump the ball even if he is a bit tardy…

Well today everyone might just as well stayed at home saved a fortune and lots of spent emotion and simply left a neat little package tied up with a bow on Teds statue with 3 points inside

We desperately need to win these 2 home games to get on a roll for the 25th

We owe them one after that jammy last minute winner and the earlier goal

3 games in 7 days Going to be interesting squad rotation

I think they will be a bit concerned about going too hung ho as we have shown we can be very dangerous on the counter attacks. Probably end up 3-3

I think this game will determine if TE can learn quickly from Saturday and not get stuck in the shoot yourself in the foot repetitive mode

Best burst of scoring since that Mane hat trick

I actually felt sorry for DD (Dozy Damion) that Finn didn’t put the ball on a plate for him to make it 3-1 and then we all could have relaxed a bit more in the last 10 minutes

Trouble is he doesn’t have many options available

Fonda clearly liked what he saw from Baz and Jay against Real Madrid

Please please please and in all seriousness play Bazanu up front!

What upset me about last night was that on two occasions in the first half we had 1) a free kick on the left wing in the final third and 2) a throw in on the right wing same area; both times just two touches to get the ball BACK to Bazanu!! So absurd and wasteful. Why not cross the ball into the penalty area? Who coaches them to do that?

We need to gel the team with all our new players properly get stabilised and stronger this season ready for a proper push next year and then be robust enough for the Premier League

Last paragraph absolutely

4-4-2 surely?
