Well, at 1-0 and Milwall in complete control I didnt see that coming. But what a fabulous comeback. Azaz and Larin were simply outstanding today. We need replacements for both. Manning, Scienza and Keven were excellent. Great to see our new CB go toe to toe with a very physical forward line. Stephens would have been completely bullied today. Everyone else very good. Particularly Matsuki. Hopefully some of the bed wetters after the West Ham match will realise you can't judge players and a manager from one match in a cup and with a team still in flux. The West Ham that we are sitting above in the league after giving them a 4 point start. Nice club switch Prowsey.

Ali Dia was way worse than any professional footballer I have ever seen.

He'll probably make some spectacular saves against us and keep a clean sheet

Guido Carillo

I can accept losing but it was the manner of the defeat that was worrying. Too easily beaten to the ball, too casual ad wieful lack of effort. Tonda needs to earn his corn now.

The bed has been truly wet

Unfortunately it was 9m, not bobbins

I agree, I dont think hes had a proper chance at Saints since he was clobbered at Norwich.

Wellington was good when called upon, fine as a backup to Manning. Fellows tailed off but started really well.

Bree, Wellington and Fellows were fine last season.

Any team low on confidence must look on the calendar to see when they are playing us

Agree with most of the previous comments. I thought that we got the job done whilst still looking unsettled as a team and with some playets still struggling for form. The difference eas that we had more quality tham Stoke in attacking positions, especially with Azaz and Larin. I thought both wingers were disappointing. I so want Fellows to come good but he seems to be struggling for form and his end product doesn't seem to be improving. I thought Leo's body language was poor yesterday and he lookrd a shadow of last sessons player. Maybe one with an eye on a transfer. For once I was happy to see him subbed and Dobbin looked much more up for it

Short odds?

They closed the trapdoor and pulled up the ladder behind them

And his goal threat from set pieces (what have the romans ever done for us)

I agree, but we haven't yet and still might downgrade if we lose THB

Stevens and THB was Tondas preferred pairing last season and for good reason. It should be this season too until the partnership is broken up by injury or form. Certainly not after the first match of the season, even if Jack had a poor match.

Burnley want Anel more than we do?

Sounds as if you are on the fence with this one

Personally, I saw nothing in Edwards to suggest he was a potential replacement for THB.

Everyone loves a bit of Anel

I think you can forget automatic promotion if THB goes. It is too late in the window to replace him adequately on our budget. Together with Peretz he commands the defence and is key to the way we build from the back.

Jack was excellent last season and is the best choice alongside THB
