Disappointing getting injured the day before the game if true.

don’t think Austin is brilliant at penalties. No more than tadic was.

Ings and Davis obviously. Was suprised none of Redmond, lemina and yoshi were in top 5.

Hopefully hoedt we meet again.

Don’t think jwp/Austin have done enough to be penalty subs. If it was lambert/le tiss sure.

Hopefully a confidence booster. Probably means we’ll be playing a back 5 for a bit too again. See whether Hughes rewards players with starts who have done well or reverts back at weekend.

Davis to score the winner

Sounds like Morgan is playing horribly.

Annoyed gallagher can’t even get a chance in the league cup. Well positively another loss will be closer to horrid Hughes eventual sacking.

Yeah i’m Definitely at the stage where relegation seems ok unless the next manager is a marked improvement over the current rotten incumbent. Clear out like Swansea sounds good.

Interesting shout.

Play gallagher and play yoshida please.

Get rid please. Just don’t appoint fat Sam.

Minor improvement in that at least long is out. Frustrated that Gallagher is still not even on the bench and would prefer yoshi in.

another centre back. If true that crazy stockpiling.

Nice to See he played 90 minutes as burton beat Burnley.

Slightly improved chance of seeing the likes of yoshi and Gallagher given a chance.

Also very interesting to see the indirect free kicks which in today's football seem so bizarre. https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/running-the-rule-whatever-happened-to-indirect-free-kicks-in-the-box-for-obstruction-325037.html

Apparently hughes was quite pleased and on our day we can go up against the big boys and give them a game. I saw no evidence in a free hit of a 2nd half of even trying to give Liverpool(who were in 2nd gear) a game. Must be some exceptionally rare day such as 29th February.

Please don’t continue with the useless long.

Got his first 90 minutes for reading & reading finally won. Hopefully means he'll stay in the team.

That was pretty atrocious. An exercise in how to set up with zero ambition yet roll over in the quickest time possible. That starting lineup by hughes was pretty poor even with the 3 missing players. Liverpool were barely trying in the 2nd half & yet equally we didn't have any ambition other than to keep the score down. No doubt he'll stumble on for a long time yet but eventually saints will hopefully get rid of the useless hughes. Also so fed up of the useless shane long waltzing into the starting lineup.

Remember when we at least tried to play against them rather than setting up from minute one to keep the goal difference down.
