Literally asked this 13 posts ago and no response. Not seen anything to say he's not playing, apart from here so can only assume they've got it wrong?!

I don’t see how they could know, usually the first anyone hears of something like that is when the line up’s announced.

The lad from Chester who hates the Leicester, remains unbeaten. I fancy it will stay that way.

Think its only him and MVE who remain unbeaten as starters? Maybe Simms?

We started the season amazingly and be honest we were all waiting for the wheel to fall off, being Coventry, however when we lost most of us thought that was it, but this squad has self-belief and even on Saturday when we are two nil down they still believe they can win, and did so. Therefore, it begs the question, does this team know how to lose?

Often proven right? How so? You one of those that think fa cup semi final run cost us a playoff spot?

I disagree but ok. Which others? I don't get the often proven right thing about the fa cup

I'm personally excited for it. I think we can do well again on top of winning the league. Were a good team after all

Wether it's a non League side where we can make 8-9 changes or if it's Vs an elite side where we get to test how far off we are from the top prem sides , im looking forward to the fa cup this year

Have it your way. But when we crash out of a cup competition and have 2/3 bad injuries then form drops and we lose an auto spot, come and talk to me then.
It's not all about football anymore, its a business. On this scenario I would seriously consider fielding the b team so to speak as much as possible and keep the automatic promotion spot in focus....it's worth multiple millions to the football club. And a side in the championship is unlikely to win it, there will be heartbreak, mental and physical stress. If I were FL I'd seriously be plotting the league and be giving far less thought to a cup competition. We have a big chance after 25 years, we need to focus on it.

I understand your point and I'm not saying don't rotate etc but your acting like an fa cup run always leads to injuries and loss of form which isn't true

We made 5th round when we won league 2 playoffs

It's just an excuse for a shit end to season 2 seasons ago

Some of the players involved said the semi final did affect their end of season. I don't think they were using it as an excuse.
Though I agree, it doesn't mean cup run always does.
Games like that semi are once in a lifetime events

My big worry for tonight is purely based on superstition. When we usually go to The Riverside they are big favourites whether in the league or recent playoffs. We seem to relish the underdog tag. Tonight feels different: we are top of the table and neutrals are looking for us to stumble.
Having said that we have shown this season we are up for the challenge and don’t fear anyone.

Like I said hopefully non League teams to fully rotate and give fringe players game time

Or a great night vs an elite team to see how good we are

Championship team being drawn would be worst and if lampard rotates and we go out I understand

It doesn't thave to hurt us

These are the sort of games players and fans wish they were involved in at the start of the season and we’ve got our second in three games.

If they can pull out another win it would be incredible.
