Howard set for Reds FA Cup return

Tim Howard is expected to return for Manchester United in the FA Cup third
round tie with Exeter at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Roy Carroll's first-team place has come under scrutiny in the press following
his midweek mistake that should have cost United all three points against
Tottenham.
Pedro Mendes' shot clearly crossed the line after a backtracking Carroll
spilled his attempt to catch the ball. The mistake was glossed over only
by the fact that linesman Rob Lewis was too far up the field to judge if
the ball was over the line.
The reality is that Howard was already earmarked to play against Exeter,
with Ferguson using the full depth of his squad as he has done in the
Carling Cup; the Reds boss has used Howard in all three of this season’s
League Cup games.
The 25-year-old keeper is likely to start against Exeter and in Wednesday’s
Carling Cup semi final match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
"Tim will maybe play in the next two games, against Exeter and in the game on
Wednesday," said Ferguson.
The injury problems at Old Trafford, which mean Ferguson must again ask Alan
Smith to lead the line as the club’s only recognised fully-fit striker, are,
however, starting to ease.
"We have some injuries at the moment," admitted Ferguson. "I will probably
introduce some young players on Saturday.
"I've got one or two coming back from injury. Wes Brown, John O'Shea, Quinton
Fortune and Louis Saha are all in training.
"I think at least Wes Brown will ready for Saturday and, by Wednesday,
hopefully the other three will be involved in the Chelsea game."
Sir Alex knows that the so-called 'magic' of the FA Cup will provide Exeter
with a memorable day out, but the Reds boss also warned that the party
atmosphere can also have an affect on his own players.
"With Exeter bringing 9,000 fans, it will be colourful with a lot of excitement
and balloons flying about all over the place.
"It brings home the essence of the FA Cup. When you have a bigger quota of
away fans coming to a cup tie at Old Trafford, you do get a fantastic sense
of the romance of the FA Cup.
"The FA Cup is always special. For Exeter, it's a fantastic day. I just hope
it's not too good!
"They haven't got anything to lose and we have got it all to lose. But we
are under that kind of pressure every week. We will not be complacent and
will play with great determination. It's a fantastic day for Exeter but it's
also a big day for us with 67,000 fans in the ground.
"I know what football is like. Unless you play with great urgency,
determination and complete focus on the game, you can suffer an upset."

Fergie應該會讓Howard在周六足總盃第三輪及1/13聯賽盃的半準決賽擔任先發門將。
沒辦法，誰叫Carroll犯了嚴重的失誤，雖然撿到一分，但依然要被打入冷宮。
而小將們在這2場比賽將有表現的機會。
Brown足總杯應該可以上場，而O'Shea、Fortune和Saha已經恢復平時的訓練，
希望01/13聯賽杯半準決賽他們都能夠上場。
(希望Saha可以阿!!就算替補上去熱熱身也好~~)
