Baird of the land

I can understand wanting to freshenthings up given they've had a week to prepare whereas we've had 3 days. It's the MOI one in particular i don't get he's got no attributes to play that role and Djenepo came off after an hour anyway so should be fresher than players who played 90 minutes.

Don't see that at all. Lyanco is definitely playing RB. Elyounessi has just been absymal as a right sided forward. Not as if you can point ot stellar work defensively he has done. He's just been a spectator apart from when he's getting owned by Mykalenko.

Frustrating game. Essentially been extremely scrappy. Chances pretty even (us JWP & Salisu) chances, them (goal & bazanu spill) but our weakness from set pieces killing us. Hopefully we get a HT change getting Elyounessi off or moving him into the centre and taking diallo off. A.Armstrong on. I'd love Romeu to be around to clatter Onana who has been excellent for them. Maybe Lyanco can drift in and do it.

Think Adams has been ok its elyounessi who has been the spectator in the front three. Get him off and don't play him as a winger again.

Slaisu headless chicken there

Really Frustrating our inability to defend set pieces despite our height

Personally i think if we are going to use Moi it should be centrally instead of Diallo rather than out wide. Would prefer to see someone with pace out there instead.

Need KWP to get switched on.

My first thought when we were being rumoured to appoint him was that he had some similarities to Strachan and that we could really use a new strachan. Remember being distinctly unimpressed at the time that we were after the manager who relegated Coventry but it ended up a masterstroke, so still hoping he will be too.

Real attacking pace is also a major issue.

I'd bring in Che(middle name Everton) back in for Mara for the relegation scrap.

Is it confirmed that Lavia was actually injured? i was assuming/hopingit was more of a tactical injury timeout, when he was always going to come off after an hour.

We’re still playing direct at times, the difference was the aggressiveness that’s been missing for quite a while. Villa under Ralph was at least as bad as forest under jones. We played with back 5 for last 30 minutes

Predictable that Newcastle and Utd would be kept apart. Think Newcastle is probably the worst draw.

Love watching Lyanco play but thought DCC actually slightly edged him.

Hope we get a chance to get revenge on Forest.

Absolutely suberb. My only worry is that the effort but in there will still be in the legs in the big game against everton at the weekend. Happy for Jones, not sure if it'll work but some of the premature vitriol, even claiming the good element of performances were nothing to do with him were absurd.

Glad to see Prowsey up from that challenge

Think we could do with replacing Diallo, looks leggy. Not sure how ready the Kid Finnegan is, whether he could add legs to midfield for last 10 minutes.

Hopoing Lavia is fine. Was never going to play more than an hour. Going down in full Ralph, let's have a break on 60 minute mark

No way was that accidental Not sure its a red card but should have been a yellow card imo

Really excellent half that. Why couldn't we have approached the Forest game in this manner. Going to be tough to hold it with World Class subs incoming. Amazing the difference a goal makes to Armstrong, making fools of city defence at end. There's a lot to like about Lyanco. Yes he's got an error in him but he also offers a lot that this team is lacking. Would love a fit Livramento but right now a Fb he is offering something useful. The midfield 3 looks good. Good to see Lavia back fully fit. Wonder how long he'll last with a big game at the weekend. Would be interesting to get a look at Finnegan. Diallo looks more comfortable in the 3 too. More of this creative Djenepo please, rather than the version with edges rounded off by the end of Ralph's tenure.

Same Mara didn't try laying it across goal to Armstrong who was in great position.

Nice to see us trying to play the ball short from Corners. Fed me up no end under ralph how predictable we were.

Really poor by Salisu, 2 chances to deal with.
