Excited about Murphy and Aarons. Would definitely have liked to see De Jong on for Diame. Unless saviet plays at ten like he does for Senegal. Youve got to give likes of Baralser a chance too. Less thrilled about Hanley

 

Shop window imo

:thup: yep. Champo sides please come a knocking. Wonder who is there scout wise?.

Nice to see us take the cup seriously. Feels like the old days when the board told us not to bother.

 

If it was the next round and we'd made loads of good signings - and the team was similarly weak - I'd agree.

If that team doesn't beat Forest then those players really should be lowering where they think they should be playing at.

Huh?

 

What I mean is - I can live with a line-up like that tonight, in the circumstances. If circumstances were different, and we had the resources to actually mount a cup run, I'd be disappointed with such a weak line-up.

From memory we normally do okay with weakened cup sides early in the season. It's when the season's up and running and we bring players, no matter how good they are, in from playing bit-parts, where we normally trip up against lesser teams.

Well I disagree. You don't need a strong squad to give the cups a go. Give the first team players who need a rest a break and get a few youngsters or squad players in I can understand, but to me wholesale changes the likes of this doesn't particularly indicate a willingness to take the cups seriously. You said on the previous page you're fine with the team as long as we don't lose. Well duh, don't you think playing a stronger team minimises the chances of that happening? We lose this and no doubt Rafa and the club will be criticised for his team selection.

Anyone got a link straight to the audio rather than the login page? I'm already logged in but it doesn't seem to realise that.
