Nuno got lucky,terrible attempt at winning an easy game against a poor,poor opposition.
If that's what you want fair enough.
I'm glad we're through but a manager has to be progressive especially as our star striker is now out. The one that scores shed loads of goals.
Guarantee you he'll play 3 at the back
Mavro Todibo Dissai

Not hard to work out
AWB Soucek Fernandes Diuof
Bowen Taty Summerville

tell me oh great one how else we will set up ?
Perhaps Crackhead would have seen something no one else saw in Traore's dominant display.,beating defender after defender and almost scoring 8 times. Him for Bowen,you know he wants to.
yeah the line up showed us everythig we wanted.
another classic example of a Nuno masterclass.
Wilson after his 105 minutes, albeit looking slower than my dead dog of 5 years ago will not be getting out of bed till Thursday.

9 fucking defenders I tell you,against BURTON.


 
Give it a rest. This is so dull and bordering on ridiculous.

Good experience for the young lads that played compared to u21’s
Full ground (albeit a small one), dodgy pitch, playing against men, game that means something and exposure to a cheating Northern ref that gives you nothing
Preparation for when and if they play 1st team games

If we're to assume he is picking Todibo and Disasi on Saturday then you have to wonder if he has the balls to leave out Mavro? Add to that Pablo is out and Potts can't come in then it could well be the case (play all 3). Fwiw, I'm not totally against it as long as the full backs get forward. Add to that is someone like Magassa coming in a good thing anyway and Wilson can't start. So options are limited. 5 at the back can almost be termed as 3 at the back, but of course some have a certain agenda.

I'm happy watching the u21's as they aren't scared and play football. 
Nuno is making players scared to play,but he'll stick by Traore and Kilman to his untempth error.

 
Happy watching kids? Good to know 👍

Brum deserved that leveller and almost nicked it.

Is it me or has the FA Cup got really good again? Nobody wants to go out of this, Arteta, Pep et al. And much better without replays.

Just noticed on that Jimmy goal their player was pulling him all over the place, could have been a penalty if he hadn't have scored?

Mayers looks more and more comfortable the more he plays. It's fecking hard for the kids to step up into the first team these days (they don't get many opportunities), so games like that are invaluable.

Still trying to work Mayers out, but he has lots of good fundamentals and he seems unfazed by playing in the first team.

Was also good to see Kante. Hard to impose yourself coming in like that but, again, it's good to see him get minutes and make some decent decisions.
Exactly. Some of th young lads got valuable experience, some important players were able to be protected, we still won. Only downside is Potts getting shafted by the weak referee. Other than that what’s not to like?

No risk of being injured by not playing. That’s fine with me. We won. Job done.

Daveyg doesn’t like Nuno, he can’t see beyond that. Win the FA cup and avoid relegation he would still find something to bitch about.

He can’t find joy in anything.

I’m not Nunos biggest fan but he has guided us to the fifth round using squad players whilst giving out key men much needed rest.

We will beat Bournemouth

I didn't say that. 
Orford is better than Kante
Ajala is better than LaMadrid, LaPortvale more like.
Both these players have been playing better than LaMadrid over the course of the season.
Traore the great wonder of Nuno's thinking was awful.
Even with Ajala on the bench 70 minutes was enough of Wilson,LaMadrid or Kante.
The experience of KWP,was shit going forward,Mavro and Kilman should have easily coped with having a few youth team players around 
You were happy with 9 defensive players then
WANKER

NUNO 5 at the back,why ? to appease the selction of Kilman. 

 
No you're the dumb miserable cսnt none of that matters, I'm just happy to be in the next round.. You want to get wound up by it knock yourself out son, enjoy wallowing in your misery.
