The FA Cup continues on Sunday and the very long run continues to offer gold grains. Now we are focusing on the interesting meeting at Montgomery Waters Meadow in Shrewsbury, where the home team with the same name as the city takes West Ham United from the capital. It’s just the kind of matches that the English cup system is for?
There is clearly a scarcity here, but the question is whether the gaming companies themselves have gone a little bit romantic? On one side, we have a top tie in League One, which after a nice season parks behind well-known Wigan Athletic in the table top. Right now, the hottest team is Blackburn Rovers, but at the moment, Shrewsbury seems to be heading up in the series system. So that’s a formidable team waiting for West Ham here.
With eight straight matches without loss and six wins on these eight games, there is every reason to take into account the good shape of the home team at least. On the other hand, Manchester City is not direct as the team faces the weekends. The question is whether the home team have full focus here or whether the league advancement is more important? It is a factor that should always be considered as regards cup games.
West Han is traveling now
There is much to say about West Ham, but their season has not been much to hang in the grain. Or season start and season introduction, with 22 games played there is probably a need to re-evaluate that concept. So far, the team has 22 scored points and is a few points above the relegation points.
Now the team comes with three straight matches without a loss, one of which is away against Tottenham. In other words, it is possible to see a positive trend. There is no doubt that the focus is entirely on the Premier League for David Moyes team, but at the same time it would be mentally destructive to go out with a team from League One. Does he really afford it?
In our eyes, of course, the guests are so much better here. We think it’s enough, though barely.
