Sadly i agree. I think he's being slightly over hyped by a few. When he gets the opportunity to cross he is very good but i think i remember him crossing the ball once last night. He wasn't playing out wide though last night. Good point but i don't think i saw one cross againt Bolton either. I like the guy, don't get me wrong but for someone with such a good cross he doesn't do it often enough. Still plenty of time for that to change.

I agree. I've been sticking up for Taylor but i thought Bassong looked bloody composed today compared to him. I would like to see him against prem opposition though. Be interesting to see who starts Arsenal in terms of how highly Keegan rates Taylor, as Bassong did not much wrong at all tonight. Na, Keegan will stick with Taylor, which i don't really mind because Bassong still needs to be eased into our league. However, he's promising all the same.

what are you talking about man.. it was a great game, we played some really nice football and Coventry had a bit of luck.. I'm delighted with what I saw Nice to see the majority not jumping on the negative wagon as usual. Great cup tie, happy with the performance

Enjoyed the whole thing to be honest, nearly ruined by some incredible commentary though. By the way, what a fucking ball by Enrique for Owen, missed that.

Ratings ; Given-7 Did his job when called upon Beye-6 Slightly disapointing, didn't have his usual confidence today Coloccini-8 Excellent overrall, not sure whether he was marking for there second (need a replay) Bassong-7 Impressive debut. Looks strong, quick and decent on the ball Enrique-7 I liked today's performance, still convinced he will be a good future full back for us Geremi-6 Not great but worked hard for the team Guthrie- 7 Worked all game long, decent performance Butt-7 Simiar to Guthrie, not spectacular but kept us battling toward teh end Jonas-7 Not alot of flair or attacking presence but tracked back alot N'Zogbia-8 Did well on the ball all game long Milner-8 Our best player tonight, created most of our chances. Sub Owen-8 Scored a good goal once again to win it for us

Said the same thing when watching it. He is playing exactly how he plays for the U21's, if he did this for us every week he would be class.

Our best players were Milner, Zoggy and Enrique.

We've been superb but Coventry are piss poor TBH. We should be about 5-0 up, i had a feeling they would score whilst we were being a bit cocky. Never mind, have full confidence we will win this game. If Owen comes on in the second half they will have no chance. Good goal by Morrison, totally against the run of play, never mind role on second half.

Possibily; Geremi Butt Guthrie Milner Jonas N'Zogbia I prefer the 442 version myself.

Youngster/Gangsta signed from Southampton.

Aye, fancy Guthrie to dictate against Coventry. Hopefully he can get himself a goal.

Didn't we play this way against PSV or Valencia? I honestly don't think Coventry will be able to handle us. Glad to see KK give Bassong and Enrique runs out, quite telling that our defence looks more balanced now.

This. I too was tempted to say he be a good addition but i know he will never play 2 full seasons, so it's a no go.

Any team news, an hour before kick off?

Redknapp has lost the plot. He is actually sticking to playing Papa Bouba Diop out on the right. Where the hell he got this absurd idea from I will never know. This has resulted in no service to Crouch and Defoe who can't really create anything for themselves. They look awful. I agree. Why he isn't getting a couple of decent players on the wing i don't know. Even average service from wide areas would benefit Crouch and Defoe isn't bad in the air either. They have a good couple of strikers but the rest of their team selection is poor. They still have too many good players in other areas to be worried about relegation but i'd be suprised if they did better than last year.

Is there any reason why people aren't expecting Owen to start? I don't think he will play the full 90 but i imagine he could play 60m depending on the score. If we are winning by about half time, we can bring him off but i expect him to start.

Aye, i would have said the same thing before the weekend but i thought he looked like a real leader out there, got in plenty of scoring opporunities and battled very hard. Not suggesting him as a transfer target but i think he deserves credit. Right dick head mind.

Anyone else think Kevin Nolan looked very good against us? Despite missing a few oppotunities he was a threat throughout.

I'd like us to sign Lennon.

In all truth this is the team to expect. I'd love to see Enrique get a start and have a good game though.

I'd like to see Malouda here, i think he's relish playing under KK as he's a very good footballer IMO. Although, as said above, i'd prefer SWP.

Too negative for coventry.
