Anyone else get the feeling our league form and run of fixtures will see us put a weakened team out to focus on getting points for survival and ultimately see us knocked out? Or is that just the pessimist in me?

Honestly couldn't care less about this cup ATM

I'd like to see a few young lads have a go, maybe they'll impress and get a chance instead of Coleman playing because he's got a great attitude

We’ll put out a strong team against Boreham Wood and win, but unless it’s that lot we’d likely make changes for a QF

We should be able to make several changes and beat a non league team at home.

Go full strength for the quarter final and if we get through make sure we're safe heading into a Wembley semi to avoid a Wigan situation.

Start with a strong side and start taking off the better players when we are 3-0 up. Full 90 minutes and extra time it is then!
 

we will beta Boreham wood, but then probably get knocked out in the Q/F which you would think would be a sunday at worst (or the monday), just because we will have played the previous Thursday Home to Newcastle, there is the usual 2 week break after that Q/F game (Provided we make it)

We really do have amazing support. I got my tickets but went on and checked what seats where left yesterday. some of the Restricted Views are terrible.

I’m more worried about how physical Boreham Wood will be, a non league side, usually they are a lot more dependant on getting stuck in and the last thing we need at the moment is more injuries. If we play too many young players I doubt they will be tough or good enough to get us through thanks to the squad we have assembled over the last few years.

If and when we beat BW I think I’d want palace from what’s left… the form teams in the champ might rip us a new one!

Fully expect a comfortable win Thursday night, come on you blues!!
