FMFA Manager

Fulham - Manchester United

we are not playing very well at the moment and we need to step up i will try a different formation and see how we get on

Darlington v Bournemouth.

I personally dont think Conference teams should be in the fmfa cup as they are to low rated compared to the senior teams. It is a mismatch at times.
We will muscle on as we are in it and it does get us abs if nothing else. Bournemouth are clearly a far stronger side than us and we need a minor miracle.
We will try and also hope for that miracle

Wolverhampton Wanderers - Uxbridge

SO in the away game we got a fantastic result however Uxbridge come to visit us at home this time. While most people will be expecting us to win convincingly nothing is certain in the cup and Uxbridge won't want to suffer the hammering they suffered at there own ground. I will however be annoyed if we don't win as expected as playing against national league oppasition as a super league team we should be looking for the win. We're currently in some decent form so hopefully this will assist us going forward.

Chelsea - Hartlepool United

These are great tests for us to try to find a way to progress out of a group and get points in difficult circumstances. There is a big gap between Conference League sides and the second division but we can address that through a disciplined and cohesive game plan. We have already taken a point off a top flight side so anything is possible and we've got the absolute luxury of there being zero pressure on us, we just turn up and play. Foreman won't get up for this one, still sore and we just don't have any incentive here to push him through to play given the league should be our priority now we have fallen right to the bottom.

Newcastle United - Sunderland

Round 2 vs. the horsepunchers. Will aim for revenge. Will hope not to get battered. We've been abysmal in the cup, we're like third bottom on the aggregated table, and I worry it's polluting our league form which also is not helped by having played some of the toughest teams in the competition the last three or four rounds. We can also use cup games as a springboard to work ourselves back into form and as long as everyone is working hard and trying to pull together then me being reactive and despondent won't help the team. Let's see what we can do here to get something out of this tie; we are forced into changes at the selection table with Jackson's suspension midweek.
