FA Cup love is in the air on Valentines day for us on Saturday. It’s a slow burn kinda love for us this season, we just really need to start seeing us win football matches again to spark that fire back up.
He surely has to change things up and go with some fringe players to start, Ekiteke is exhausted and needs a rest, I’d give Chiesa a 90 minute frontman stint. Salah has an opportunity to kickstart himself again as he’s shown absolutely nothing of his former self.
A loss here will cause much more instability for slot and every game from here within will be like a final for him and for us. However we do have a favourable fixture list until April. All should be winnable but for us and our bottomed out confidence , we’ll have to settle with what we see on the day for each game.
Be a nice distraction on Saturday where only open attacking play with goals will reward a trip to the next round, which may serve our play better than a low block for the majority of the game.
Few key fixtures to look out for this wkend..
Burnley vs Mansield – could be a Prem killer on the cards.. Mansfield 12th in League 1.. predicting Mansfield win on pens.
Wrexham vs Ipswich town – at Home Wrexham bring the noise, could see them heading into the quarters here, would be massive. My prediction 3-1 Dragons
Hull vs Chelsea – Hull doing well sitting in 4th in the Champ.. Chelsea doing their best spursy impression this season so may become unstuck here. Prediction 2-1 Hull
Grimsby vs Wolves – Home advantage for the League 2 side sitting in 8th right now up against a massively struggling Prem side. Could see another upset. Prediction 2-1 Grimsby.
Macclesfield vs Brentford – Another home advantage here and they have the nation behind them, being the only team from the national league still in the comp dumping out Palace in the 3rd round which was historic enough – can they go one more against a solid Brentford outfit? Prediction Macclesfield win on pens.
ABSOLUTELY MENTAL predictions but I may get a few right.. let’s do our job though boys.
Back to the grind redmen!
