Saint Matty 76

Jo Tessem's understanding of how linesman work is making me want to turn this off

Watford fans in their replies saying they've gone full strength.

Ah, of course. That’s a shame.

Give Brooks a start but agree outside of that. I’d probably start Downes as well.

Not sure what I want here. Liked the idea of testing this style of football against a Prem team in the cup but Anfield probably isn’t the way.

Seriously glad that Holgate is someone else's problem now.

Holgate starting against Villa in the late kick-off, quite bizarrely.

Very glad to be 2 up at HT rather than 1. Would back us to see out a game like this almost every time. Hope to get some good minutes for Brooks as well.

You lot on fire stick? The enjoysports stream I'm using is about 2 minutes behind the reactions in here!

I agree, still worth noting the results whilst it's within 10 though.

Leicester 1-0.

I was just coming to say the opposite to be fair, best opposing commentary I've heard so far.

Ipswich 1-0 down!

Exactly what we needed in this type of game, although we did the same in the home game! Kill this one off. Don't make the same mistake.

Leeds and Ipswich had 75% and 71% possession whilst failing to beat Rotherham at home this season, wonder how high we can get...

Bristol City really really bad. One good chance and that's been it. Top 4 going to need serious off days to be dropping points to teams like these.

Bristol City v Leeds on at the minute, the latter looking good and should be ahead.

Holgate gone to Sheff U, dunno what the fuck they're up to.

Gutted about it as I had so much belief for him after last season. However he does not appear to fit this system and has objectively been poor so far, so anything £35m+ would be a brilliant return. Realistically, skint Italian clubs will not be able to trigger that option so he'll likely be back to us next year hopefully in the PL. I think Brooks/Rothwell combined will cover for the limited minutes he was already getting.

Honestly fine by me. Brooks coming in means Arma may get more minutes at striker and I really just don't see it with Mara, although I expected he'd go back to France.

Happy with Brooks. Versatile and very good player by all accounts.

The replay will be fit in between the next two games, Rotherham and Huddersfield

Watching Amo-Ameyaw again just furthers my belief that we really don't need another winger

Been a different level since we made those four subs, which pretty much alleviates any worries I had about the hour beforehand

Stuart Armstrong a different level to be fair SAA been impressive too Holgate, Alcaraz and Mara abysmal
