The League Cup is very much an occasion to rest the first team players and give the second choice players a chance to impress. Most importantly , we need to give Gazzaniga some time in goal.

You just have the felling that we need to put the chances a way before Liverpool get a lucky break !

Good bit of detail, can't remember it myself. Anyway, in the end we rallied around Christmas time and did OK

Yes, thought so, I remember it will. Now you know why I never take things for granted.

Interesting comments about Jayrod. We can all see he is not back to his former standards. I truly hope he does fully recover, but the comments sound a bit worrying.

As long as we stay in the EPL, I am happy. I never take it for granted that we will stay up until mathematically certain. The proudest statistic for me is our 27 year unbroken run in the top flight which came to an end in 2005. Worth more than any Cup win including 1976.

Well I would take 3 points in the EPL over any cup game.

Again, was that the season we lost 7 - 0 at Kenilworth Road on the plastic pitch ?

We started off well. Didn't we finish 17th ?

The question on the goalkeeping front is 'How long before Forster will be fit to play' ? Are we looking at January ? or earlier ? If we are looking at later then we are in a vulnerable situation.

Great post, my sentiments exactly.

Well, I don;t think we have an alternative to KD, when Stecklenburg is injured.

Could be worse.

What about Fonte ? Is he OK ? Hope Shane Long is not too bad.

If it was that easy to predict football, it would not be the exciting game that it is ! There will be many more twists and surprises over the course of a season.

I think this will be a draw 3-3. I would be happy with that.

Well said that man. The boo boys of 2004 set of a chain reaction that nearly brought the club to bankruptcy. Utterly selfish behaviour on their part.

Yawn, you are so predictable. I nearly split my sides with your wit.

I think we should be happy to be a premier league team and curb any ambitions of winning anything, or even getting into Europe. (Said in jest before the abuse starts)

I have to agree with you. My concern is we don't lose him as early as January, unless we are safe by then.

But less calamitous than Boruc I think you would agree ! On the whole I think he is a good keeper and there is no need to rush back F. Forster.

Fantastic win !

Come on ref blow the whistle !!!!!

1 minute to go !

How long to go ?
