FA Cup 5th round draw - Spurs at home

[CarlMcBlade]

Don’t give toss about Tottenham, I just need to see United play well and dominate Wrexham.

 

[MobileBlade]

Midweek game. No replays from 5th round onwards. Whatever has happened to the cup!!

 

[mattbianco1]

IF we beat Wrexham

Does 5th round go to a replay or is it settled on the night?
I know we scrapped replays during covid but wondered if it was still scrapped in the later rounds?

EDIT - Oh! I posted directly underneath MobileBlade answering my question

 

[ancientblade]

no replay thats definetly in our favour if we beat wrexham

Blades / Wrexham v Spurs confirmed for Wednesday 1st March on BBC1 (and some more dollar if we get there):

 

[S64 Blade]

Keep being on the tele like this and we might be able to afford to fix that hole in the roof, at Shirecliffe.

 

[Katzenjammer]

What's the bullshit reason for a 7:55pm kick-off exactly?

 

[Kelso]

My money was on Terry Garbett.

Terry Garbett, the worst footballer ever to grace Bramall Lane. His name should never be mentioned

 

[S64 Blade]

Can slip an extra pint in then.

 

[SB_90]

Surprised that only 2 matches wont be televised in 5th rd. i thought they'd televise 2 games a day

 

[Bergen Blade]

Wonder which team we'll put out.

It doesn't have to be rubbish, even if we pick a changed side, something like:

Davies
Basham Egan Clarke
Baldock Coulibaly Norwood Doyle Osborn
McAtee
Jebbison
​

Hopefully keeping it even, then making some substitutions to have even more of a go in the second half?

​

I believe Egan is suspended, Baldock still injured and Clark wasn't even on the bench today.

It will be JLT and Bash, I'm unsure if Anel is eligible, maybe 442.

​

Yep, that should keep it even.
0-4, 0-6, maybe even 0-8

We don't have place for everyone on the bench though, could Clark and Baldock have been saved for Wednesday? I wasn't aware of Egan's suspension.

 

[ancientblade]

clark will be centre back against spurs

 

[Camden Blade]

I hope so otherwise we'll leak goals against Kane and Son. I read elsewhere Egan is suspended, but I don't think it's been confirmed.

 

[Bergen Blade]

Yep, that should keep it even.
0-4, 0-6, maybe even 0-8

Noticed Portsmouth and Preston kept it at 0-0 at the break in the former rounds.

Tottenham play Chelsea tomorrow and Wolves Saturday, so the fixtures are tight for them too. They could also be resting players.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

If Anel is eligible, play him. Play Clark in middle, we still need JLT's aggression, so play him on left.
Is Baldock fit? If so, play him and rest Bogle.
Give Osborn a game at LWB, rest Lowe.
Play Norwood, rest Fleck, we'll need him for Blackburn. Play Coulibaly.
Rest McBurnie.
I'd like to say rest N' Diaye, but I'd really like to see him alongside McAtee and Berge.

 

[Cappy]

Full strength. Let’s have it

 

[South Sea Blade]

Anel is definitely available......only suspended for championship games (Blackburn and Reading).

 

[Keen Blade]

Play the second team , Blackburn is a crucial game very shortly after Spurs.
Very bad news that Anel is unavailable for both Blackburn & Reading

 

[BigBed]

So, were playing in our audition game for next season on Wednesday then!
I honestly don't care about the result, aslong as we dont get any injuries!!!
I win would be amazing, but not at the cost of promotion!!
We definitely don't need any type of replays at this stage of the season, and it could be a great chance to get the young players a bit of game time.
Weve got to play clever now, let's just enjoy this game, as hopefully, a warm up for next season, and concentrate on the top 2!!!
COYRAWW!!

They also have their Champions league 2nd leg game against AC Milan the following week as well.

No replays in the Cup from now on anyway.

 

[Blademan18891889]

Going up this season is instrumental in the clubs next few years but for us to win the fa cup will beat any promotion we will ever see and be the best moment of our Sheffield united supporting lives. Obviously it is highly unlikely this will happen and I expect a good 5 or 6 changes to be honest. Davies, bash, Osborne, Doyle, macatee, Billy, jebbison. All could come in and probably will do which me personally am not in agreement with but I would understand why hecky may do it.

 

[TJB.]

I didn't know that. So it's extra time and pens on Wednesday if we're drawing at full time?

We could really do without that happening!

 

[Down the Channels]

I think it will be a squad game, with 5 subs being used starting from 60 mins onwards - keeping Saturday in mind and ideally not pushing too many players to 90 mins.
Just hoping for no extra time. If it is level after 80 mins I think we should throw 4 forward and gamble, if we lose with a breakaway goal so be it.

Foderingham.
Baldock (sub for Bogle) - Anel - Clark - Robinson - Osborn
Norwood - Fleck (sub for Doyle) - McAtee (sub for Coulibaly)
Sharp (sub for NDiaye) - McBurnie (sub for Jebbison)

 

[BigBed]

Thats why I said "of any kind"

 

[ancientblade]

i would expect conte to rest 3 or 4 on to the bench he probably thinks hes got enough in his squad to beat us its a bit of a poser for hecky stick or twist with the money a quarter final would bring or the huge money a win at blackburn would help us to

 

[ryza]

Wouldn't surprise me if BBC did a feature length film before the game on Wednesday about how it could've been for Wrexham.
