Feel sorry for any poor bastard going to this one (yes I know Shrewsbury has decent boozers). You just know we'll be wank again and if we get away with a replay we'll have had a lucky escape. Christ, I don't think I've ever been less bothered. It's going to be a result check only for me. I am quite interested because it could/should be Rowett’s last stand. if he plays a full strength team we know that he believes his job is on the line. If he makes a lot of changes, either he doesn’t give a shit or he believes he’s safe. Either way I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we lose.

I’d be giving a few of the kids a go. Let’s face it, we aren’t going to get anywhere in this competition and do we really want to sit through any more dross than we already have to?
Butland
Edwards Indi Collins Pieters
Etebo Sorenson
Ince Bojan Verlinden
Campbell

In the current climate it’s a no win game whatever the result.

I wonder if Mark Sale thinks this is a must win?
I wonder if we lack the quality against Shrewsbury’s
I wonder whether we’ve had a good week in training?
I wonder if we miss another pen.
I’m bored!

I would be delighted if we lost this one provided it resulted in a change of manager. The sooner this conceited clown is out of our club the better.

I want Rowett gone as soon as possible but would never hope we lose any game, an unconvincing 1-0 win against a League 1 club should hopefully still get the job done.

There's nothing wrong in hoping Stoke beating Shrewsbury 5 or 6 nil Rowett realising he has to be more attacking (can't be any worse) then going on a great run into the playoffs - we all would like that wouldn't we?

I'd never hope we lose, but I struggle to find the enthusiasm to watch more Rowettball. Still, I'll be tuned in at 8.30am our time, wishing to see something which gives me some hope for the second half of the season. Surely he is gone after this game, no matter what, but it would be nice to see one or two players finding some improved form for the games ahead.
If it were me, I'd blend youth and experience (with the two Ryans and Joe out):
Federici
Edwards Williams Martins Indi Pieters
Ince Sorensen Etebo Clucas
Campbell Berahino
Subs: Butland, Souttar, Shenton, Verlinden, McClean, Afobe, Diouf

sadly I currently feel like I couldn't care about the game tomorrow after watching all the Christmas games . I would hope he would try two or three young ones but I guess he wont , hope we get through of course but thats about it from me , enjoy your day if you are going .

Rowett will play this team
Federici Peieters, Williams, BMI, Edwards Clucas, Fletcher, Etebo Mcclean, Berahino, Ince
It’s that simple, that is who he will play and it’s so predictable. Not the team I would play though!

Tricky one.
Playing youth and fringe players gives built in excuse but a strong team might give same of our misfiring players a boost in confidence - but with the risk of another plodding performance piling on the pressure.
Or he could go full Hughes told you so mode and play his normal formation but with Affelay at centre half, Adam on the wing and Bojan up top very much on his own.

Thought for the day.
If win, lose or draw Rowett is toast, why not park all the negativity for one day, get behind the team fully, have a laugh and make it a bit of a carnival atmosphere? Would certainly make a nice change......
