Well this run has lasted two games longer than I expected.
This Tuesday evening the Mighty Whites will take on Plymouth in front of their crowd. Live on BBC so no need for illegal streams
They pose a real attacking threat as Whittaker and Hardie are well into double figures with goals in the Championship. Foster will put out his strongest available side.
Expect us to have 70% possession so let's be ruthless.
Not much known about Plymouth other than they sent "the pilgrims" to America to introduce slavery and kill off the native population who had been there for thousands of years and steal their land to create "the brave new world" - It was there before!!!!
Draft Dodging Donald Dumpety Dump Trump the fraudster, conman, rapist and sexual deviant is said to be one of their fans as they do the best pies and chips
I would play:
Meslier
Byram Ampadu Cooper Firpo
Gruev Kamara
Antony Rutter Gnonto
Piroe
Subs: KK, Shackleton, Gray, Cresswell, Rodon, Bamford, Joseph, Geldhart, Summerville
I'd like to go through for a big money game v Chelsea away. It will be on TV because of our history and the full house will pay big money.
Our squad is good enough
That it took an in flux of subs to put the game away it do seem imo that we don't have strength in depth
Its strange, after a 1-4 victory you think I would be bursting with immense happiness, but apparently not (must be getting too old and grumpy!). I know conditions were terrible, but until the flow of subs appeared, we looked befeft of ideas up the pitch. Jonathon Pearce was saying that Anthony had a good game, I thought he was pretty ineffective as was Piroe until the deflected shot onto the bar. El Magico at left back had a few near misses!!
On the bright side, thought little Willy had very good game and the starman, Gruev, was outstanding. As well as the glue in the midfield, done some unbelieveable defensive tackles, short of injury, I don' t see how DF can possibly drop him.
Finally a word for the 1000+ away supporters. What a bunch of superstars. Sang their hearts out all night and keep the team going, you wouldn't send a dog out in that weather, never mind going on on 600+ miles round trip mid week.. The Directors at ER should give each and everyone of them a free match ticket or organise some form of thank you hospitality.
I hope we don't find ourselves in 3rd gear v Rotherham and drop points.
Extra time down in the West Country on a Tuesday night was not the ticket, but fair play to Plymouth they made a agame of it.
Gruev is becoming undroppable. You can see why Gyabi was never going to get a look in.
Joseph will be an asset if he keeps going.
Indeed another job well done BB.
And as you say BB, some money earned and more to come.
Pity we needed 120+ min to settle the game, obviously we should have won it a lot earlier.
Hopefully it didn't take out too much from the lads.
Some great performances and lots of plusses, like Joseph who didn't look out of place and Joffy looked eager and sharpish. Gruev was outstanding and a well deserved MoTM.
Thank you, BB! Well done for now - I wouldn't mind us beating Chelsea at the bridge... MOT
F Me!! What is going on? We are LUFC we dont get past the 3rd round!!!
I only wanted 1 FA Cup MDT not I have to do a 4th!!!
Still Villa or Chelsea will pummel us so I will not need to continue.
At least we will get big bucks in the 5th round and got big bucks beating a woeful Argyle side
When Rodon getting a day off?
Joseph wearing scoring boots
03 easy
Good luck BB 2-1 to The Mighty Whites⚽️💥🥊

What could possibly go wrong 😑
Shackleton is out for this game due to illness as per DF
I'd go with that team Smurf and we'd surely still have enough to beat Plymouth who have about 6 players out....
I'd maybe change Piroe for Geldhart and I think Shacks is ill?
Cresswell HAS to get a chance and proved he is good enough by playing in the Championship last season. No point in Rodon getting injured....
The FA Cup is a great competition to get a good run but we're not going to actually win it....
My team
Meslier

I hope we play a decent team and stuff them. I want Chelsea away but it will probably be villa.

Cannot wait to watch this game!!! I still have 28+ hours to wait!!!
Just hope I am sober-ish at KO time. Dont want to fall asleep on my sofa during the game.
