Saint Matty 76

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

Anfield if we win.

Surprised about the lack of KWP, but good to see those 4 on.

Mara just does not look remotely threatening when he has a chance on goal. Che-like.

Pretty much. Would have him and Arma on in an instant at HT at the absolute very least.

Alcaraz really poor so far but the desperation to hate on a 21 year old South American kid who was probably our only highlight of last season is a bit much. He's very erratic but he also has the individual quality (Plymouth H) which is why the fans stick by him.

Very bad this. No fucking about at HT and make some changes.

I don't remember that to be true. I remember quite a few of us highlighting how terrible a move it looked. He can't pass a ball, has never been able to pass a ball and whoever signed off on that one made a serious error.

Done loads right this year but Holgate was a fucking mental signing

Yep, just came to post that. Would be a nice bonus.

Feels like he'd be a non-promotion signing rather than anything else mind. Honestly don't feel like we need anybody in this window, even Benson's constant links don't feel particularly necessary to me although it obviously couldn't harm to have another body in. Fraser has been such a revelation of a signing, alongside Sulemana and Edozie coming back and all we'd end up doing is pushing SAA further down the list which I feel is slightly unjust. Fraser/Sulemana - Che/Mara - Arma/Edozie already feels a bit like an embarrassment of riches to me.

Always a bit sad to lose a prospect but never thought he looked ready for professional football in the limited minutes he got, even through preseason.

Absolutely nothing on show tonight to make me too worried about our prospects of climbing into 2nd and even giving a real go at chasing down 1st.
