He’s the option when you’re attacking but when they have 74% possession and are raining down on you the knackered tripps is not the best option. Put hall LB and move livs over - he’ll even put Burn LB and play Alex Murphy CB but use this chance to give him a full weeks rest.

Livs could have come over to right and we had at least two options for left, tripps wasn’t our only lb choice. He got brought on cos he was tripps and it was the wrong choice.

Yep, he should have been nowhere near the pitch to be honest. It was a good chance to give him a proper weeks rest mentally and physically but instead he’s gonna be in bits now. As I said a page or two back his strength is attacking and we were never doing that tonight, he’s been off recently defending and we had our backs to the wall. Should never have come on.

Agreed, no one should be above losing their place.

We’re back to roughly a game a week and that’s a massive silver lining as well.

You miss 50% of your pens and it’s not the keepers fault, I’m the first to criticise dubs most of the time but he’s had two good games now.

If we had won we’d get Liverpool

Was a perfect chance after the Fulham game to give him a weeks rest, we weren’t getting up the pitch so didn’t need him for his crossing or anything - got that call wrong for me.

He’s a 33 year old playing an insane amount of minutes and getting nowhere near enough rest.

He needs to rest tripps for weeks not a game here or there.

That a very good point, we’ve all read how vocal he is when playing.

As you’ve just said it “rightly so” so please don’t compare it to Bruce fitness levels.

Crazy posts innit - our second string team almost on the back of soooo many games really having a go to get over the line and we’re being compared to Bruce by some.

Really hope this was a joke

Yeah fuck Howe and his trying to win and keeping us in the lead for at least this long.

Only stop it for a head injury don’t you?

Still not coming on - we need to change Lewis halls first name to sod

Why’s he risking Gordon - he’s limping to fuck

Probably only had 45 mins in him

We’re winnng in the quarters a few days after winning in the league - this with so many injuries so most out there are playing every 3- 4 days. People on here just need to calm down and remember the days when we all said we just want a team that tries because we have that now.

He’s not playing

And the follow up “my arse”

And that’s why for me this game is a free hit and if we lose I’ll genuinely get over it in minutes.

I saw a film called that once

Wtf are you doing?? Read the room - we’re in panic mode and slagging away performances off at the moment
