    Struggling to get that win? Is your team in need of a goal or two? Season looking over by half-time? Well don't worry, for the third time this season, Saintsfcfan is here to turn this season around. Again.

    Welcome boys and and girls to the FA Cup Replay match between your beloved Saints and a team near Ipswich. In the first leg Saints were denied a win through a last gasp goal from Naismith. The team is at home and this should be progress for the stars in red and white.

    Form ? Forget it. This is the Cup and the form book is thrown well and truely out the window. Although we did thump Liverpool last week 1-0!

    Teams?
    My line-up:
    Lewis
    Martina Stephens Virgil McQueen
    Davis Clasie Reed
    Sims Rodriguez Tadic

    Prediction: A 3-1 win. What else?

    Come on you Saints!

    Ideally we'd rest Virgil but the Fonte situation has left us extremely short. I know he won't but I'd play Jose in this game, as I see it as a throwaway anyway. Our 3rd priority right now after League Cup and PL.

    Unlikely we'd cup-tie someone who we might sell.

    see no reason why we would rest a goalkeeper - they don't exactly get over exercised! Might possibly rest VVD as he is our man at the back and the opposition box - as for the rest - rotate away!

    I'd probably rest Virgil this game and Maya at weekend. Stephens to start both.

    Also I'd give Tadic a rest for this and start both Bertrand and McQueen. Then rest Bertrand at the weekend.

    Is Hesketh fit? If not, then midfield 3 of Reed, JWP & Clasie.

    Obviously starts for Cuco & Sims.

    Guess he's already cup-tied as he's played previous rounds.

    This is the first round we entered.

    I thought Romeu looked a little tired, against Burnley.
    Would definitely rest him.
    Looking for a win to compensate for me having to walk an extra few yards, to the other side of the ground. :angry:

    Despite the doom and gloom, I'm confident about this one.
    Think we will win convincingly... I'm going 2-0.

    I can't see much reason why Norwich would put out any sort of team for this one. Especially with Arsenal awaiting next (and unlike us, progressing would see them have to postpone a league game - not only would they surely want to avoid a fixture pile-up, but home to Birmingham seems quite an attractive game for them to be playing right now, since Zola took over).

    They've also got Wolves just three days after the replay. At least we have an extra 24 hours until Leicester.

    As Chilco points out. We probably won't want to cup tie him.
