CWD Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 Jaidi is back but Seaborne, Fonte, Otsemebor, Hammond, Morgan and Connolly are all out. Could be a mauling. I guess we'll line up something like this: Davis Thomas - Perry - Jaidi - Harding Antonio - James - Wotton - Holmes Lambert - Lallana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 Jaidi is back but Seaborne, Fonte, Otsemebor, Hammond, Morgan and Connolly are all out. Could be a mauling. I guess we'll line up something like this: Davis Thomas - Perry - Jaidi - Harding Antonio - James - Wotton - Holmes Lambert - Lallana Is Connolly definitely out? The Physio report said that he was 50/50 for the Millwall match last Saturday, so he could possibly feature, at least as a substitute. That gives options of Lallana in midfield. Papa could also play a role up front. Mills could also deputise for Holmes and Gobern Saga and Paterson are further options for the bench. I think that the team you suggest is possibly the best option apart from having Connolly up front if fit, but whereas a mauling is possible, so is it possible that we might maul them with that team. It's the FA Cup, so anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 When we were drawn against Ipswich I was very happy because I thought this was a very winnable tie, but now with our injuries and suspensions i'm not so sure. We're missing a couple of key, key players in Schneiderlin and Hammond, and other players like Otsemobor, Fonte and Connolly. While i'm not so sure we'll win, I wouldn't be too upset if we lost, because Ipswich are starting to improve now under Keano and they have still got a lot of quality in the side. I'd rather see the team turn their focuses on the JPT and the league, because I feel that these are more important and more achievable goals this season. Maybe next season we can look at having a decent cup run, but for now I think we have other more pressing matters at hand. I'd play: ------------Davis------------ Thomas--Jaidi--Perry--Harding -----------Wotton----------- --------James--Lallana------- Antonio----------------Holmes -----------Lambert----------- Subs: Bart, Martin, Mills, Gobern, Waigo, Saga, McLaggon (if he's back from his loan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexstar Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 Can see Roy Keane wanting to concentrate on the league, but we do have a lot of players out. I think it will be 1-1 and add to our ever-growing mid-week fixture list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 Nice to see the return of the Jaidi (queue Star Wars music) I would go for this ------------Davis--------- Thomas---Perry---Jaidi---Harding(if recovered, if not Mills) --------------------------------- --------Wotten---James--------- Antonio-------------------Waigo--- -------------Lallana--------------- -------------Lambert-------------- Let Lallana have the free roaming role. The two wingers will have speed on their side so could get in behind their back line. One thing is for sure James will need to be on his game as will have to be the playmaker and the guy who runs back to defend due to Wotten's speed.

He got onto the bench last night ahead of options such as Gobern or Paterson, so you'd assume he has done something to impress Pardew in training. If this is the case it will be interesting to see if he gets on the pitch and what he does when he gets there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the case it will be interesting to see if he gets on the pitch and what he does when he gets there. If he could rekindle his real form and show real intent it could be like having a new signing. mind you, when does Saga's contract end, he could be making a cynical pitch for an extension.

Indeed. Was just about to post that we have a vitally important league game away to Brentford on Tuesday so we need to rest the likes of Lambert on Saturday. Playing our best players 3 times in one week when it is still mathematically possible to reach the playoffs is foolhardy IMHO. So, Saga in, Lambert on the bench for me.

Arizona Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 I wouldn't rest players for this one.

SFC Forever Posted 21 January, 2010 Share Posted 21 January, 2010 Sorry but if the Dons game has taken its' toll i can see Ipswich winning with a modicum of ease. If not we could surprise them.

doddisalegend Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Thier top scorer this season only has 6(!?) goals and he's still banned for saturday. An Ipswhich fan on 606 said that they have a very good midfield a poor defence and a strikers who can't score. We on the other hand seem to have no probleming scoring, have a makeshift midfield and a defence that can't keep a clean sheet. Tactics for saturday then are to bypass midfield with loads of hoofball maybe we should play 6-0-5 as a formation:p. to be honest I like us to field our strongest side. Playoffs are an illusion this year so lets go as far as we can in the cups I think. Also I'm going on saturday and I hate watching us lose.

StuRomseySaint Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Just over 17k sold so far which includes 2850 Ipswich. So looking at 20k, not bad for a pretty meaningless game, I think alot of people are focused on JPT and League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also claims to have watched Saints on Wednesday and said we played "really well", which is an interesting spin on things, cos I thought we were predominantly a bit gash, hoofing it and not creating much, timewasting mostly and without looking too troubled.
