Have a real go at the fa cup, i know we are not safe yet but almost! not many teams at this stage that will put out their first team and this could be a great opportunity to progress

No. Priority has got to be the league.

Could win on Tuesday with an average side. It's worth the risk.

I don't think we should, no. We're 10 points clear but even that is nothing to take for granted - still more work to be done and more points to pick up. I'd use the Sunderland replay as a chance to use players who aren't getting many minutes and to try new things. But ultimately, it's a bonus game, that's all.

I certainly want us to put a strong side out and progress in the cup. But it's also an opportunity to play players such as Barton, Tarkowski and Vokes.

Weakened 11, has to be, but to be fair we have enough quality to call on to beat Sunderland I think. 40 points is the priority no doubt but why shouldn't our 2nd string get a run at the Cup ?

We should have a real go at winning on Tuesday night - and the same again for 4th round, but Burnley v Leicester is more important than both of the next 2 cup games.

Then let's see where we are in the Prem.

Edit: We won't know how many games Joey Barton will be available for until 31-Jan. That could be key.

League is priority but yes, we should go for it!

Anything is possible and why should we fear anyone? Could be one hell of a season.
