Morgan on the left didn't work at all, hopefully Pardew was just using it as an experiment. I fully expect Lallana to be back on the left on Saturday. James on the left of a back three suprised me a fair bit but seemed to work in the end, so fair play to Pardew for that change.

I've bought tickets to all three games so far, as you well know.

I think everyone who buys a ticket gets added to the database which gives you a customer number and all tickets purchased are linked with that customer number. I really doubt there will be a problem getting tickets for Wembley if we get there. Say every ST holder gets given two tickets, that would take up about 20,000 of our allocation which should be around 40,000. So loads of tickets left for general sale, I doubt attendance at previous round will even come into it.

Lallana played centrally just behind Lambert, looked to me like Schneiderlin was supposed to be our left sided player. Lallana covered a lot ground to help him on the left but there's no way Lallana was supposed to be the most left side of the midfiield five, he was pushed right up infront of Hammond and Mellis. Schneiderlin couldn't adapt to the left sided role and after the first 20 minutes Norwich realised they had acres of space down the left and took the **** out of us. MS and Harding didn't have a clue who was going where and which player to mark and it all went to pot. I really couldn't even begin to work out what sort of formation or shape we where playing at the start of the second half and I gave up trying what Lloyd James moved to centre half.

There'd probably be about 25 of us there.

We won't take 4000 to Milton Keynes on a Tuesday in January, 2k tops.

£30 for fairly short notice isn't bad at all. What times the last train back? Guess it's likely to be on the Tuesday but I'll hold off getting train tickets until it's confirmed.

Schneiderlin was the worst player on the pitch, shouldn't be asked to play that role ever again. Doesn't suit him or the team.

Was Perry taken off injured today or was it tactical? He took a nasty knock not long before the sub. Team picks itself if Connolly is fit imo: Bart James Perry Jaidi Harding Waigo Hammond Schneiderlin Lallana Connolly Lambert

Think it was still same as before just James at cb, Harding did seem to play a lot further forward. We seemed to lose the little bit of shape we did have at that point and play really direct with James starting most our attacks.

That was an absolutley mental end to the game, the last 20 minutes and the penalty kicks where just mental. First half was some of the best football i've seen at St Marys for a while, certainly didn't look like two league one sides. For the first 20 we where all over them and should have won the game considering all our chances. Then they started exploting our left hand side, having Schneiderlin there didn't work imo and was a good idea taking him off and changing it. The second half was very ugly and bitty, not got a clue what sort of formation we where trying to play for the first 20-25 minutes before Antonio came on and we switched to a 4-4-2, whatever it just wasn't working until Antonio came on. Lloyd James moving to centre half was one of the strangest moves i've seen from a manager in a long time, seemed to work though he was a lot more assured in posession and played the ball out from defence and started our attack where previously we where just hoofing it any where. All the shootout credit has to go to Bart, three great saves under a fair bit of pressure. Superb all night, can't see Davis getting back into the side.

We've got quite a wide selection of songs compared to recent seasons =/ Our home support is pretty **** but it seems to be the same with everyone's home support outside of the Premiership.

The team i'd play: Bart Thomas - Trottman - Jaidi - Mills Waigo - James - Schneiderlin - Lallana Lambert - Connolly Give Harding and Hammond a break and make sure they don't get suspended. The other players on yellows aren't quite as important as those two.

It's a strange feel that I'm actually looking forward to January and the transfer window for once. I think it will be quite a busy window with 5+ out and three or four in. Be interesting to see which calibre of player we can attract now we're looking likely for a play off spot.

No we shouldn't rest anyone unless they're carrying a knock. Two trips to Wembley this season please.

No manager is ever unquestionable.

Liverpool, Evertion, Tranmere and Portsmouth.

Good to see the scousers lose again, even better to see Johnson bang in an own goal.

just one, got his first goal in their last game.

Since we beat Oldham i've been sure we will get play offs, anything less will be a disappointing season for me.

Hopefully he can keep up his impressive scoring return if they do get promoted.

LOL

3 goals from 19 apperances according to soccerbase.

McGoldrick (0.1) I am so glad we managed to shift him in the summer. Anyone know how he's doing for Forest?

It's blatantly obvious. Especially with Wiltshire.
