funnily enough, i think he'll play an unintentionally stronger side going forwards - pod and gnabry up front, mid of rosicky, caz, ramsey and arteta.

he'll rotate in TV - the only risk will be in switching in Jenko and Flappy.

3-0 us. pod 2, gnabs 1.

They're a mid-table League One team, we should be able to beat them whatever team we put out. Games like these are a blessing for any team aiming for glory in the second half of the season, never mind one with as fragile a team as us.

Now if we hadn't put out a shite team against Blackburn last year we probably wouldn't have been knocked out but to me the complete lack of tactics and effort on behalf of those that played was far more of a disappointment than the fact we left players out.

Been looking forward to it ever since we beat the Spuds

We can't win the Be All and End All, won't win the League either.......so this matters hugely to me. A trip to Wembley would be a fantastic end to the season.

I'm not sure anyone under 30 will agree but never mind

Absolutley, we have several players who need a game Ox too could do with a full 90 so should be a pretty decent starting 11.

Expecting an absolute pasting here, as it's been long overdue (7-3 against Newcastle last season the last one I can recall).

They are a proper pub team and no doubt whatsoever that we should well and truly put them to the sword.

However, we have Wenger, so Coventry clear favourites, IMO.

only mid table because they started the season -10 points, a very good young and very fit team but shouldn't be any trouble to a team on top of the PL should they :wink:
