Very interested to see to what degree GP holds his nerve with players who have got us this far in the cup. Obviously trying to guess the line up is a futile waste of time

Grudge match. Eyes peeled for handballs and the ref running his watch on Fergie Time.

No VAR in the league cup is there?

Hopefully not - just being 4th official is bad enough though.

Reffing our next game too

As much as I would like to stuff them, I do hope Potter picks mainly the players who did the business against Pompey and Preston. There will be a thirst for revenge among the players from Saturday and I worry that will lead them to run themselves into the ground or get injured for Saturday. The league is far more important and our EPL Cup squad has been more than good enough so far.

Were loose in the 99th minute thanks to VAR (does that cover every base?)

Think the squad will be similar to the last 2 cup games however a much stronger bench.

I can’t see OGS playing a completely weaker side, this is or the FA Cup is the only realistic trophy they can achieve this season.

I predict we'll get done by a reffing error that VAR would have overturned.

1/4 finals up for grabs.

Their fringe obviously better than our fringe but bit of luck and who knows.

If people start doing that, this place would fold within weeks.
