Well done Marco, really glad to see you are taking tonights game seriously, good starting 11 with quality on the bench. Hope we get a good draw in the quarter final. COYW

Not bad line up, would have preferred Tete/Diop started, Leeds are very quick and dangerous down the left.

Just said more or less the same, great minds think alike!

The only surprise for me is Tosin. I thought Duffy has shown good stuff against Sunderland. But at least Tosin and Ream already used to play each other, so hopefully we'll see Tosin coming back to form.

An exciting line up. Let's do this !!

Disappointed that Leno isn't starting.

Marco wants to win the whole thing!  He rested Mitro for this game. Really strong linenup overrall and hopefully a performance that matches it's quality.

I don't think Mitro was rested, he was injured according to reports, but who really cares as he is back for us tonight. Hoping he will provide 1 of his better performances tonight.

I think that's the first time this season we're going to see Mitro and Solomon playing together in the starting XI. I'm hyped.

Winning team

A very strong line up, surprised , but pleased, to see Mitro playing.
We really should win this one.
I decided not to go tonight but to watch on telly, beginning to regret that decision already.

I am disappointed that Marco has not gone with what he considers our his best XI given our league position, plus a better chance than we may ever get (in my lifetime) to go one better than in 1975, and we don't play again until  Monday.  I really don't understand the thinking.  Maybe that for all the platitudes, managers both from overseas and this country don't get what the makes the FA Cup special to those of who are older.

Considering the fact he trained a bit on his own, I'm sure he could have played through injury like he did many times before and then rested for this game.

Regardless, I like the look of that lineup and hope for a good performance.

Perhaps an unfair question pre match, but at what point do you drop Rodak? Would you be comfortable with him playing the final if we managed to get there for instance? At any stage its harsh but surely best interests of the club have to come first

For me he should be starting only in one scenario: if we draw a 'weaker' team. If we're going to play to likes of ManU, City or Brighton, I'm pretty sure we're going to see Leno instead.

Me too, Plodder would have preferred 4 or 5 of our other players to start but at least they are all on the bench, not worried tonight except who our opponents might be in the qtr final.

Rodak is our weakest link, hope he doesn't disappoint. Sentimentality has no place at this stage and this mistake by Silva that may cost us.

I don't have a problem with him starting, he's played well so far and I think that if we were hypothetically speaking reached the final, that would probably mean that he played at a decent level at least considering we came that far. So I wouldn't have a problem with him starting there either.
