    Possible banana skin. We should score 10, but this is West Ham. What could possibly go wrong

    My instinct would be to field a strong side in the hope of securing the game early and then rotate some youngsters in….the problem is identifying a “strong” side.

    Our first eleven appears perfectly capable of tripping over themselves here and further destroying whatever confidence they have.

    COYI

    I think its a reasonable shout to try and get as far as we can on account of the supporters having had zero to get excited about this season, and being in a relegation fight since the start. An unlikely quarter or semi final would at least offer a respite from that.

    We will probably know by the time of this tie if we have any chance of getting to safety so the cup may be all that’s left.

    Going to the bookies to see what the odds are on us getting relegated and winning the Cup…

    46 league games, minimum of 2 domestic cup games, minimum of 8 Europa League games. A minimum of 56 opportunities for them to disappoint us.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t UEFA bring in a clause that only top flight teams could play in European competitions, even if a team from a lower league won the Cup?

    Is that the Wigan clause?

    If they have I’m not aware of it. It seems harsh but also logical as what second tier club could manage a European campaign?

    Beating a Championship team after extra time in the third round does not suggest to me that any of this will be a problem, come the next season.
