FA Cup replay
Wrexham – Brighton 2.98 – 2.56
Backing the home side. Wrexham, the Conference leaders, were good value for their 1-1 draw at Brighton. Absolutely deserved, according to unanimous reports. Brighton had changed their side in six positions while Wrexham started with their best side. The Brighton coach Poyet said after the game: There is a chance that the whole second team will play in the return leg. Maybe it will be like that, maybe not, but it certainly says something about the overall Brighton attitude ahead of this cup game. Or, have they changed their minds now that that they know which side the winners will be up against in the next round? The winners here have a home game against Newcastle. Brighton are basically hoping to reach the Championship play offs.

Brighton have a host of injury worries and I am pretty confident that they will field a much changed side tomorrow reminding of their first leg side. Wrexham would of course love to reach the fourth round of the FA –Cup. They had for example 2.000 of their fans attending the first leg. J Speight, Wrexham striker, is an injury doubt, but hopefully he will be able to line up tomorrow.

QPR played last night. They went to Newcastle, played a decent game, but ended up losing again. No QPR goal scored and that is their main problem, finding the net. MK Dons did not have a league game at the weekend and that should be a big advantage. The Dons played the better football in the first leg and the late QPR equaliser came rather surprisingly.

Well, QPR just have to defeat Wigan on Saturday and this cup game could be seen more as a distraction. No way that coach Hughes will be fielding his best eleven tomorrow. The stakes are unbelievable for the Dons, as Chelsea are waiting in the next round. Anyway there is 5.00 on the away win for MK Dons.
