Many things I enjoyed about that cup tie. The performances of Edozie and Romeu showed they both have something to offer in the run home. Whether it was a shop window for Edozie or not, if he wanted to stay at the Club beyond this season it would be no bad thing. Matsuki was good again - he’s full of energy, presses well and has a good range of passing. Bree is rightly getting praised at RB since his return but Jelert showed he is an accomplished player capable of pushing for a place. Really enjoyed Bragg’s game; he paired well with Romeu for the first hour and then revelled, leading the midfield with his peers around him. Which brings me to the favourite part of the game - Tonda bringing on a number of Academy lads while King countered by bringing on senior player after senior player. Made the win all the more satisfying. Suddenly there’s a lot to look forward to and a lot to play for.

Nah, he’s had enough Football since returning to have replaced the out-of-sorts Jander before h/t. One thing we can all probably agree on, quite apart from that sublime goal, Charles played an immaculate half of Football. Thought he was the catalyst, along with Stewart for the turn around.

21 years ago wasn’t it? It might be 21 years before we see a comeback like tonight again. Got to savour it. That Charles’ goal!!

While all of that is true, what Tonda didn’t appreciate, or act on, was the need to make changes on the half-hour after Leicester’s third goal goes in. He should have replaced Jander who was having an out-of-character shocker; he should have replaced Archer for reasons which don’t need explaining, and he could have taken Fellows off who couldn’t get into the game and whose head had dropped after the awful back pass. It took a miracle and a touch of class from Shea Charles to rescue three points, and save Tonda’s blushes. Yes, they are playing for him, yes he made several good tactical changes, but the Archer experiment and the delayed substitutions invite justified criticism.

I wish I hadn’t been, watching it.

That’s the decision he has to be held to account for.

An astute Manager would have replaced Jander and Archer by now.
