Some decent striking options with Bent, Keane and Crouch.

Simon Dawkins and Josh Onomah

Was going to use Dawkins over Carroll, but he never played for Spurs.

Friedel in goal. Maybe Luke Young at RB? if Walker isn't fit.

I’m not going because I’ve given up on domestic cups simply because so have the management and the team
Defeat to Crystal Palace did for me especially after Everton Stevenage etc, sadly I love the FA Cup I’d give anything for us to win it, so it’s heartbreaking to see our performances in this competition

I’ll start to get interested if we spawn our way to a quarter final/semi-final maybe then we might take it seriously
If we see Olsen wobble out on Sunday night you know straight away they don’t give a fuck about this cup, I know there’s plenty of others on the site that don’t care either which is fair enough if that’s the way you roll

So I can only see a loss, mainly because our mentality is - we don’t really care
1-3

The training pictures that the club put up look like they're staged with everyone laughing and smiling like lunatics.

Obviously I'm not saying we did stage them.

Dissecting the gallery
Can we deduce something there?
Earlier I had wondered having seen Olsen undefeated status against Spurs

Olsen undefeated against Spurs
2 matches. 2 wins
Included Clean sheet for Villa. 2-0 victory
Robin Olsen was also GK for Everton victory in a 5-4 in FA cup v Spurs
Is that a sign?!

Olsen is seen in the photos, Martinez isn’t.
What do we make of this ?

Please bury this lot on Sunday. Sick of under achievers like these turning us over.
