Match Thread Everton v Borehamwood - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[blue to the bone]

The magic of the Fa Cup eh.

We play non league Boreham wood at home under the Goodison lights in a season that has been so far horrific.
Saturday against City didn't help the mood either. We played very well but some shocking defending and corrupt officiating meant we ended up with nothing.
But at least the cup means we can forget about our league plight for a few hours. And let's be honest we should be winning this one comfortably. We will see changes with Patterson, Mykolenko, gomes , townsend and a couple more expected to start. The 3 players been Cup tied limits the options though.
So come on blues get this done nice and early and get In the hat for the last 8. Then we can concentrate on the horrible situation of trying to stay up.
So into these tories meffs and put a half dozen on them .
UTFT.

Shocking time and day to have an FA Cup match.

If it goes the distance some will struggle to get home.

Hopefully a match we can watch in a relaxed mood - win on penalties - UTFT.

Completely unneccessary.

With what should be a fairly straight forward home win as well.

I'd have some understanding if we were away and they wanted to ensure they could televise it to maximum viewers.

Totally agree.

Dont get the logic behind this at all!

Still will do the 6 hour round trip like!

Boreham Wood will have longer journey! Nuts really

Lots of changes, really looking forward to seeing a few players get a start we dont see too often, Pattersen and Mykol...etc

Dele and Elghazi cup tied

Struggling to get excited about this game right now but it's still a big opportunity to get to the last 8 of a major competition. I would make some changes given our struggles, although I don't like having to do so.

Pickford
Patterson Keane Branthwaite Mykolenko
Gomes Onyango
Gordon
Gray Rondon Townsend

Gray needs game time, one of Keane and Holgate need to play, both new full backs should start, no need to rest goalkeeper, Gordon doesn't need a rest, Doucoure isn't worth the risk after injury, Townsend deserves a run out, Richarlison can't be risked while DCL is out.

Really we should have enough to win this

we should have more than enough. But being Everton........let's see. We have a habit of not doing things the easy way. But surely Boreham Wood can not trouble us. Surely we will win this match in a csnter.

Yes mate, ITV I think

 

[Saint Domingo]

Just get it won. Would rather see a decent team play well with a bit of style and get some confidence than play a team of kids and fringe players who might not even be here next season.
