While I agree it shouldn't go on in what is supposed to be a civilised sport, the point is it does and it works. You only have to look at how the Man City players surrounding the ref pressured him into overturning the penalty decision he gave in our favour up there a few months ago. No way he would have done that if they had all stood around politely and just accepted his original decision. Until such time as the FA/PL clamp down on it and direct refs to start giving cards to players who do it, we should absolutely keep doing it if it gives us an advantage.

Phew.

And we nearly gifted them an equaliser straight away.

KWP goal machine!

Ours is the only tie heading for ET currently.

Yeah he's certainly risen to the occasion.

What was that all about with that FK just now? It was like they were performing some sort of ritual before taking it.

That decent performance in a back 3 at Chelsea seems a long time ago now doesn't it.

Oh Valery. Lucky boy to get away with that.

Stu Armstrong - take a bow son!

So you want to take off Valery and replace him with Salisu and KWP? I think the ref might notice if we start the second half with 12 men on the pitch! 😉

Well, there is an excuse for it - the fact that we have two tough away games in the next 7 days and need to kep players fresh. But he has under-estimated Coventry and made too many changes.

That was a decent run and cross from Small.

Should have been 0-2.

Wrong choice from Armstrong. redmond was in acres of space in the middle. He looks like he's trying too hard to impress at times.

Redmond coming on so we're changing shape. Valery as a CB in a 2 terrifies me.

He's 17 years old and he's 25 minutes into his senior debut, and you've already written him off as crap. Classy.

Shocking defending.

What on Earth was Small thinking with that header? I'll chalk that one up to nerves due to this being his first senior start.

Reminds me a bit of the kit we wore for the EFL cup final in 2017.

In fairness that was a decent effort on target from him just then.

Money can't buy moments like that.

Well at least now we know Utd won't be live on TV in the next round.

Some top quality penalties so far.

Apparently because there was another touch before it was put in the net. I'm still in favour of using VAR but that's farcical. Such an obvious handball. What's the point of even having VAR if it's not going to pick that up.
