Mug that I am, I won't be watching on the telly, I'll be at St. Mary's. 

Fair play Eric. 

[obelisk]

Sulemana leading the attack then. 🫢

[Baird of the land]

No strikers at all. How disappointing.

is bree playing as a cb or is manning playing left mid

[Saint In Cornwall]

[Guest]

No striker and a defensive back five against a Championship team. 

Nothing screams inept or not very confident more than that. 😂

[Edmonton Saint]

No Striker, and 2 right backs in the starting line up. Death Metal football is certainly living up to its name.

[obelisk]

With a bit of luck we might grab extra time and penalties.

[HarvSFC]

Archer really pissed the club off with that goal against Liverpool. Alcaraz used to do the same.

Five at the back and no striker at home against lower division Swansea. Credit to anybody who's going to this one.

[CB Fry]

I mean, I reckon I would have selected at least one recognised centre forward but I'm probably nitpicking. 

[davefizzy14]

Wheres ABK? Why are we not starting with an out and out number nine. Don't get it. Archer and Onuachu should both be starting.

[CB Fry]

Death Mental, more like.

[OttawaSaint]

What does Archer have to do to get a start?

Sulemana? Oh dear...

[beatlesaint]

Wish I knew what he sees in Kamaldeen

[Saint Fan CaM]

FFS - that’s just incredibly poor from Juric to name that 5 at the back team at home in the FA Cup against a Championship side. Perhaps he’s formulating his team sheet for the Championship?

ABK is not an out and out number 9

[ErwinK1961]

Archer by far and away our best striker and doesn’t get a start anymore.

5 at the back against Swansea at home, seriously.

Can we just fast forward to June please.

[OttawaSaint]

Team is so fucking weak. Swanseac must be looking at that and thinking they could come away with a comfortable victory.

[SambaMaverick]

Really doesn't rate Archer, does he?

Looks like a keep it tight and happy with a narrow defeat set up.

The whole outfit is a negative mess.

Would you buy him based on what you’ve seen?

[Suhari]

Fuck is that?

Either Russ still here or there's mercury in the water at Staplewood.

Holy shitsnaps.

 

[Greedyfly]

I thought ABK was going to get his chalice under Juric. Is he actually shit too and we've just forgotten due to time or did Juric mean "chance to leave". 

 

As for shop window-ing Sulemana, it might be better if we just stuck him back in the box, in the store room and showed potential suitors the whole 90 mins Vs Liverpool instead.

 

This is a laughable line up.

He's not the only one to be fair, the guy's shite.... BUT I get the beggars and choosers argument too!

[BotleySaint]

Let's hope we accidentally find the one position Sulemana can play... 

[SaintNewForest]

Fuck me, Sulemana is like an itch you just can't rid of. How he keeps getting chances ...

As for that lineup, fucking horrendous and wouldn't surprise me if Swansea get the win

Feeling is the same to be honest.

[Saint NL]

It makes total sense that in the Russell Martin derby, we send out the most Russell Martin team imaginable.

 

The return of the U formation

Like it or not he’s the best we have and has shown enough to get a run in the side. 
 

Far more than that lanky donkey we’ve been playing recently.

Death Minuet from where I'm standing.

Wouldn’t usually comment until after the result to save me from looking like a tit but happy to commit today.
 

I still expect us to beat Swansea with this squad from the garbage they produced at Pompey. Very strange decision making here from Juric. As per a number of previous posters expectations, it would’ve been great to see ABK. Either he’s refused to play or he’s off. Also tiny bit of me hoped for Ballard on the bench but tricky due to his loading having played against Fulham 21’s.

Early I know but I’m not sure I’m convinced by Juric with this decision making, even if we win.

Spelling & grammar on par with mack rill

[Lard]

Great idea….no recognised striker.

come to think of it…none have covered themselves in glory for what seems an age. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m not one for criticising managers early in their tenure but I’m with you - not convinced.

[obelisk]

In the draw for the 4th round then.

[GrumpyYorkshireSaint]

Maybe hoping for some link up play through Fernandes and Sulemana to chase the long balls now we have realised we can kick it away. Problem being Sulemana appears to have little creative ability once he's run by folks.  Maybe not the lihe up we would like but for now a clean sheet and chances cleared would make me happier. Archer to come on and win it hopefully.

[Ringwood Jack]

We have no recognised CB's playing and a rookie keeper making his debut. 

 

Would have been happier Cabango and Darling playing .

 

 

You should have more than enough

Ballard is cup tied, having played for Blackpool earlier this season. Shame really.
