One comment on “CandH/Hammers Chat 4th Round FA Cup preview”
After the lucky win last night, they have zero pressure on them, they will probably start with a weakened team allbeit one for which the result doesn’t matter as much as it does for us, they are in a cup final now so I think it is a dangerous game for us because anything could happen. IMHO we should play at an intensity they can’t cope with try allout to get 2 or 3 nil up by half time at which point they may decide to take it easy and we can cruise to a win. They don’t have great players but they do have some momentum now its up to us to make them crash and we cannot afford a slow start.
