I hope certain people come back and read their posts after the game because they are cringe worthy.

Sam has played a competitive side, considering we have a Carling Cup Semi Final on Tuesday- that takes priority not a FA Cup 3rd round match.

For the people questioning Sam's integrity, have a look at the sides played by Arsenal, Spurs and co today which are similar to Sams.

Sparky used to do the same, particularly in the early days of his management.

Difference is our away form under Sam is currently horrendous.

Everyone does it, but the idea is to pick a weaker side and still do enough to scrape through.

It's not the side picked that's the problem so much as the manner of the first half performance which has probably left us too much to do.

Exactly, I remember in the FA Cup against Arsenal away under Hughes, we had a horribly depleated team in the middle of a run of games including the UEFA Cup knock out stages. Due to injuries and resting players the team we put out was very weakened but they defended resolutely and got a deserved draw. We then beat Arsenal in the replay at home.

That is the type of battling performance I want to see from our team all the time, even when we can't field our strongest 11. The resolute defending and work ethic that day seems a far stretch from the current capitulations we see now. Granted we buck up when we go behind but it'd be so much easier if we were hard to beat and played decently from the start.

Edit - Rigters on - would be very in character of the FA Cup for him to score. Tad unfair though that we bring on Rigters they bring on Carew.

It just shows the herd mentality that two people made the same joke in succession. Of course, not like it's spun every other week as well... :rolleyes:
