It sure is / was.....they put one shot in the net ..we put None...they go in the pot for the QF draw ...we don't...Yeah but they only had nine shots to our 27 Brian which is more important than results apparently.

The Dibsters had written this off. Luton and their ‘safe standing’ is next up for us. Train tickets booked and getting right on it Tuesday.Wolves away sat 16th March now off :-( .
Knee niggle so was restedApologies if this has already been mentioned, and I know hindsight is a wonderful thing, but was Solanke injured or something? Otherwise I can't see the point of not putting him on the bench at least. He was badly needed for the last 75 minutes of that game after Unal went off (presumably injured). The 4-2-4-0! formation looked mostly impotent and we badly needed a proper forward to play up to. I get that AI might have been saving him for the league and wanted to give him a rest, but in that case then surely he got his priorities wrong. In the league we're not really in danger of getting relegated and there's little chance of getting into Europe, so why not play him in the FA Cup - a competition we would have had a chance of going far in?
It’s you’re. Repeating myself is getting worrying.It's a forum, your so weird
I know everyone appreciates different styles of football and some prefer just winning and I respect that. This level of possession at home is not my desired football watching and still glad it’s gone whether they’ve gone further than us or not.Yeah but they only had nine shots to our 27 Brian which is more important than results apparently.
Blanking people is easy. If you think you’re winning, then think again.I don't think you revolutionised much but if it makes you feel better to think that then go for it sport
Thanks. But I can't help wondering if that would have caused him to be rested were it a league match.Knee niggle so was rested
Interesting you pick on one game to try and prove a point.I know everyone appreciates different styles of football and some prefer just winning and I respect that.

Over the course of the season I don’t want to watch a team not try and keep the ball at home and sit behind it. No. It’s just not the spirit of the beautiful game to me. Difference between me and you though is I accept people like different things to me and respect it.You'd rather be out of the cup with 27 shots that have a quarter final tie against Coventry between us and Wembley? Results trump style of football and always will.
They’ve got a much better squad. Those things are not a surprise. Having 28% possession at home in any game is not my bag. I appreciate people like different things though and if it’s your bag fair play.Interesting you pick on one game to try and prove a point.
Their average league possession is higher than ours.
They have scored more goals
They have won more games
Oh and Brighton are second in the league on possession so not a good match-up to use.

if its a one off to keep your team in the cup its pragmatic management to me. Much rather still be in the competition than loose happy in the knowledge 50% possession was achieved.They’ve got a much better squad. Those things are not a surprise.

Me too mate.I much prefer watching Iraola's style
It’s not a one off though is it. Why did he lose his job here. Why did so many of our fans not want him? Don’t be swayed by a couple of oddballs on this forum. Get in the pub and talk to real fans…if its a one off to keep your team in the cup its pragmatic management to me.
