Time to move on then

Maitland-Niles would be a very sensible signing, would cover a lot of bases, loan to buy seems good too.

About time they signed someone

Did pretty well in midfield. Would be a smart signing to cover a number of positions

Just got back, was a fairly comfortable game. Positives were definitely Ballard and Payne, great to see Che get a couple more too. Negatives were Diallo who I just don’t get, isn’t good enough, just got in the way at times, would much much rather we kept Romeu and managed to move him on.

You’d imagine this has a knock on for Stephens and Bednarek

I very much doubt anyone he goes on loan to will be going much further in the league cup

Is that a Saga holiday?

RIP, was a lovely bloke, very sad news

Give it nine days and he’ll have a good game

For once I’ll have to defend not selling out an allocation, the train strike certainly ended any chance I had of getting there, regardless of me working. They are an odd bunch, you’d think they’d be fairly content with the last few years, maybe to an extent it’s got to the point where we were, albeit with more success, players heads turned and manager’s ideas failing to get across.

Ralph never goes overly weak in cups, another win would be good for momentum too

Yep, beat Newcastle in January, can’t just rock up there with Walcott and a few U23s

Looking forward to ticking off another ground. You just know JWP will be involved somehow, would like Adam Armstrong to start, try and get him a goal

He’s been a good servant but if he wants to move on and keep playing then it’s absolutely fair enough, we’ve got far more out of him than I ever thought we would.

Brilliant character from Ralph’s rugrats. ABK man of the match for me, superb

Keeper

Adam Armstrong is bad isn’t he?

Go 9-0 down I think

Was waiting for this haha

I’d rather more bodies in our midfield, we’ve shown in the past under Ralph a 5 doesn’t suit us, as our defenders are mainly abysmal

Glad we spent pre-season doing the 5

Looks like a back four ……
