Stranded I don't. For the league game it made sense - for a one off it doesn't.

All this 'its a one off' because its a cup tie is utter rubbish. Its just an old cliche.
Every single game is a one off unless its over 2 legs.
A premiership season is a series of 38 'one off' games isn't it?
As SC says, we approach our season game by game, always just focusing on the next game. Every single game is a one off.

Tony Le Mesmer Here's something to consider if you fancy us to pull off a shock at Old Trafford.
over the last 3 seasons there have been over 170 premiership matches where a big 4 team has been at home to a non big 4 team.
The away team has won on just 2 occasions.

I expect us to start with 5 4 1 or 4 5 1 on Saturday.
I don't. For the league game it made sense - for a one off it doesn't. It'll be 442 of that I am pretty certain. Better to go down swinging than try and sneak a draw.

Gordons Cumming I find it astonishing that Reading fans can now talk about us as having any chance of knocking Man.Utd out of the FA Cup.
How times have changed..........
Still won't happen though................a bit of a reality check I'm afraid.

I agree.
Somebody on this thread said that they thought 8/1 was a good bet!
We are playing away to the best team in the country with our reserves.
Our chances are very slim.
A few home wins against inferior opposition seems to have gone to some peoples head.

Sharpy what side are utd likely to put out?!!

StrandedTony Le MesmerFred Sharpe's Nose No, Coppell will not put out a significantly stronger side. Look at his record so far - the man stays true to his course.
I think we will play our fringe players, but i would disagree that Coppell stays 'True to his course'.
Coppell stated earlier in the season that we would not be changing our tactics to cope with particular opposition. This backfired against Arsenal and he rightly back tracked and adopted more defensive tatics at Anfield Stamford Br & old Trafford.
I expect us to start with 5 4 1 or 4 5 1 on Saturday.

Judging by the team they played against Pompey, I would imagine a pretty strong one. Although with the Champo League being a few days after I could see Giggs & Scholes in particular being rested.
Something like:
Kuszczak, Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Heinze, Park, O'Shea, Carrick, Fletcher, Larsson, Solskjaer
Bench: VDS (if fit), Richardson, Ronaldo, Silvestre, Saha
