Play a winning side. Consistency and confidence. This looks like silly too clever by half tinkering.

Che has been woeful all season

Yes. Because he played well, with energy. Che is appalling and shouldn’t be ahead of him at the moment.

Djenepo also rewarded for his man of the match performance by getting dropped

Che and Edozie up front. Not sure about that. Why reward Mara after that goal by dropping him? No Adam Armstrong either. I don’t get it at all.

Beto would be ideal. Hope we are in for him.

Me too. Vaguely remember about it coming from Lawrie Mac being the same plane as him, and just asking him. Could be wrong mind.

Probably a strong possibility given NJ's connections. Supposed to be alright

Alcaraz should be available for Saturday. NJ said he had 50% win ratio and hoping to raise that. But told press conference journos that their questions were ‘very negative’. Quite spiky. Bit defensive. But emphasizing that he will put out a team to be positive and win a football match on Saturday.

'Facilitating forward' = terrible at actually scoring goals. Decided drop in quality/possession when he came on.

stop letting facts get in the way of our conspiracies please

Basically yes. Turn of phrase guys. Of course not impossible. Just very hard with their support and current form. Can be done though obvs, esp with God on our side…

Carabao Cup is run by EFL, not FA. But yeah, always suspect those ‘hot balls’ are in play. Big clubs never seem to play each other. Extending the conspiracy theory perhaps someone wanted a Man Utd v Man City final…

Second leg at theirs will be impossible

I think that is the worst possible draw

Yes. Encouraging interview, that. He appears to have won them round.

Spot on

Heh!

So good. Lyanco my pick. Effort and spirit. Brilliant.

Djenepo man of the match made me laugh quite a lot

3 minutes, boys. 3 minutes. Boil an egg.

How on earth have we not played him before? Get in the corner, lads!

Seriously, what stoppages have there been? Ridiculous.

He’ll be apoplectic. 6 minutes of ET from somewhere. God knows where.
