Yes we are! Exactly. So 'in the here and now' we're actively trying to bring in a player that plays in Palmers position. So once Wright is back - New winger is signed - Palmer slips further down the pecking order. I said Palmer isn't good enough and the club should bring in someone better, a few hours later it's announced we're after someone better. So you're disagreeing with me and also the club and recruitment team.but we're talking about here and now aren't we? He's starting games for a form team in this league. I feel he's good enough for now. If you don't, fair enough.

If we lose O'Hare, we'll get a replacement in. Seems he's not first choice in any of the positions he plays - but you think he's good enough?! Strange.His position is no. 10 where he's second choice if O'Hare is fit and in form. He's good enough for that role in the squad and he's good enough to start there if needed. If he can fill-in wide left while we're short of cover, cool. You think he's not good enough, I disagree.
There's no question he is good enough. In terms of talent there are few better in the squad. The question is can he stay fit enough to play regularly.His position is no. 10 where he's second choice if O'Hare is fit and in form.

If we're being linked with 8 million pound wingers, I can safely assume that Palmer is below the standard we're aiming for. I'd be shocked if he's offered a new deal.
I agree. We are 3 wins from Wembley. With so many premier teams heading out after this round we could get another favourable draw and be in the quarter finalsSeems people are thinking Robins will weaken the team beyond what he did at home to League one Oxford! I am not sure that will be the case this season and I think Doug has his eye on a payday at Old Trafford etc and I don't blame him.
As some have said go hard for 70 mins try and win the tie and rotate from there. What we want least is a replay.
A narrow win at best, assuming we rest O'Hare, Saka and Palmer (i.e. most of our attacking flair)
Jamie Allen baby to 'star' as our attacking midfield player, capitalising on defensive errors by them (had a weird dream about it last night)
They haven't been selling tickets for it. Not enough demand for whole stadiumWhere has it been said the Kop is closed.

His fitness must have improved because as we all know he was still running up and down the wing at the end of the game on Saturday.If we’ve got a wide player in id out them ahead of Palmer as his fitness can be a worry. Otherwise id go:
This is it.There's no question he is good enough. In terms of talent there are few better in the squad. The question is can he stay fit enough to play regularly.
Note to Robins. Players get tired.Genuinely interested to see how Robins approaches this one. Bristol will have played 5 matches in 18 days when they face us, and have got Leeds 3 days later. They keep putting out their strongest team, and you'd think they'll be struggling fitness wise by the time they come to Coventry. Wonder if it will impact Robins selection for the cup.
Wouldn't be the worst draw. Remember a win in the 5th round is quarter finals and a match from wembleyEven if we do win we will only end up with the winners of Watford v Southampton anywayWe are allergic to decent cup draws
Cryptic crossword?Crap Ref - I got in first
5th round is a Wednesday night which would really take the gloss off the occasion - and it's more than likely another days annual leave to use if we get an away drawWouldn't be the worst draw. Remember a win in the 5th round is quarter finals and a match from wembley
Midweek FA Cup just feels wrong (unless it's a replay).5th round is a Wednesday night which would really take the gloss off the occasion - and it's more than likely another days annual leave to use if we get an away draw
Who's smart fucking idea was that
It's a joke and can only imagine that it is to keep the moaning of Klopp et al. at arms lengthMidweek FA Cup just feels wrong (unless it's a replay).
Intimately involved in both goals yesterday. Ran the length of the pitch to be involved twice in the second....after an hourGood for how long? 1 half? Never seen him have a good full 90 in the 3 seasons we've had him.
If he doesn't at least bring on Fab Tav yet on the other hand won't sanction a loan move it is really difficult to see what he is actually planning to do with himGive Saka, Collins, Bidwell and Eccles a break. Maybe even Thomas as well
