When was the last time we were still in the FA Cup in March? Would it be 1939 or have we had replays/postponements since then?
Also note that the final is in June, two seasons running playing in June eh….😂

Lots of people have stated not finishing our season till June last year seriously inhibited  or recruitment  in close season .....so for that reason I propose that we majestically stand aside from this FA Cup run and let the poor premiership  teams carry on to get the glory .......just for the sake of fairness obviously, we already have the best fans let's give them a chance to get some

March is going to be a long month. One game gone, today's game and 7 more, making 9 in total. It's certainly going to test the fitness and stamina of the squad, so I'm expecting plenty of rotation as shown in today's team.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

In Buckley’s back to back promotion seasons we played 14 matches (in total) in March, won 13 and drew 1 (if I remember correctly) so if we can recreate that form… 😂

From the results database on this site, it looks like Wednesday was only the fifth FA cup tie we've ever played in March - all away from home:

7/3/1908 Newcastle 5-1 Town (QF)
21/3/1936 Arsenal 1-0 Town (SF at Leeds Road)
6/3/1939 Chelsea 0-1 Town (QF)
25/3/1939 Wolves 5-0 Town (SF at Old Trafford)
1/3/2023 Southampton 1-2 Town (5th round)

So yes, first time since 1939!

We played Chelsea on 28-Feb-1996     so almost did it that year. It was a leap year though. So 2 days short.

I haven't checked but I'd doubt we've ever played 14 games in a month. That'd be like a game almost every 2 days for the entire month.

Dont think it would hamper us getting players in if we are still playing in june. Think the main problem last year was we did not know what division we would be in . untill then. This year we should know a lot earlier we dont need much more to be safe
