LAST MATCH
Look what happens when Butterfield & Fox aren't in the squad
we go and get our first home league win in over 3 months. Joao got both goals with two decent finishes and we kept another clean sheet under Jos, that's 5 in 8 games, even with Loovens in the team 
. We also moved 9 points clear of the relegation zone which gives us a bit of breathing room in that department, still not safe by any means, but it is amazing what 3 points can do to a team and fans.THE MATCH
Back to the Cup and we welcome Swansea City and our old boss Carlos back to Hillsborough. Will be interesting to see the reaction Carlos gets after the way things went this season. I am sure some will boo him but I expect more applause than boos. Its a winnable game, despite Swansea's recent form, it could depend on how important Jos sees the cup and if making sure we stay in the Championship is the priority
CURRENT FORM
OWLS -
SWAN -
THE BASTARD IN THE BLACK
PAUL TIERNEY
Lee Betts & Stuart Burt
Fourth Official: Oliver Langford
THE TEAM
He's made changes in the other cup ties, will he do again against stronger opponents? The youngsters have done themselves proud when being called upon, putting some of the so called first team squad members to shame. Could Lees make a return to the squad, just keep Fox & Butterfield well away please
.Possible team
Wildsmith
Venancio, Loovens, Thorniley
Hunt, Boyd, Pelupessy, Clare, Reach
Joao, Rhodes

Swansea looked devastating against County and i thought it was like watching us when CC had fessi lee wallace and hooper playing like demons
They have got some real pace and talent in all departments and are basically in another class to our lot 
so we are going to have to defend like we did at the lane and try and counter punch the counter punched clown any slack defending like against Birmingham and this lot will bury us the same they did county 
I Exspect us to rest a few senior players for the trip to Millwall on Tuesday week but unless its Butterfield or Fox that gets a game i dont see anyone else being a problem This one could go either way its either going to be a thrashing for us
or a very tight game that 1 goal will win

2-1 Rhodes (if he can't get motivated for this one he might has well sit on the bench for the U 23s)

Carlos seems to be a happy bunny these days totally different person to when he was at Hillsborough

Not really, he is essentially the same Carlos we saw in the first season he was with us. His metaphors of using food as a way of explaining what he and the team did are classic Carlos!!!
2-1 Nuhiu

Isn't Clare cup tied after playing in an earlier round when he was out on loan?? I wouldn't risk any returning players like Lees in this game. Bring Nuhiu in for Joao maybe, give Hunt a rest and play Palmer, maybe play Wallace for Boyd but essentially stick with the rest that played against Derby.
RE: The Owls v Carlos FAC 5th Rd Match Thread - Statesideowl - 14-02-2018
Nice one, Kev.
After watching them batter county this tie doesn't seem as much fun as it did.. Still, we should know how Carlos will play. It's difficult to say whether he will be applauded for his first season or booed for the latter. I'm just glad he's gone because things were stagnating.
2-2 Joao

Don't give a toss about this game. Swansea are not out of the woods yet so the real winner will be the team that loses. Starting line up should include Nuhiu, Fox, Butterballs, Palmer, and Loovens. Put in our 3rd string goalie.

RE: The Owls v Carlos FAC 5th Rd Match Thread - peiowl - 15-02-2018
I'd also offer 1 game contracts to JOC, Bothroyd and Jeffers.
RE: The Owls v Carlos FAC 5th Rd Match Thread - Imre varadi - 15-02-2018
Matiass is banned for three games due to picking up to many yellow cards .. http://www.sheffwed.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=521475 so he will miss swansea millwall and Villa at home wether he makes it past injury or not ?
and with games coming back to back that would surley mean nuhui one game Rhodes the next ? so i think we will see Nuhui start againt Swansea and Rhodes against Millwall !!
