Archer is total crap. Edozie, Larin and Matsuki looks decent though.

Tbh Jelert is a decent enough player instead of Bree. Wood and Quarshie is as dodgy CB pairing as you can get though.

Yeah, probably keeping Leicester guessing a bit. He isn't going to come out and say "we are changing the whole side".

Eckert's confirmed that Larin will start and Romeu will play a good deal of minutes.

I certainly wouldn't be risking Scienza in this game. Considering we were told he couldn't play 3 games a week a month ago...

Judging by the training video put out by the club today I think there could be 11 changes. No sign of Scienza, Fellows, THB, Stephens, Bree, Welington, Jander, Downes, or Azaz. There were 4 or 5 academy lads there as well, so could be a very young bench too.

Peretz, Jelert, THB, Quarshie, Manning, Charles, Bragg, Edozie, Azaz, Matsuki, Larin.

I'd be starting Larin on Saturday for sure. If he can't play 45-60 mins against a terrible and most likely rotated Leicester side in the cup, then you have to question why we signed him.

Did anyone else notice how they brought Jordan Ayew on and he must've given away about 6 fouls in the space of 10 minutes? Exactly what you don't want when trying to keep the opposition in their own half.

I think we could put a heavily changed side out and still beat them. We were crap first half (mainly due to Archer being Archer and Jander having an off day) but Leicester really are shite. They didn't have a shot on target after their third goal on 29 minutes. Just look at their recent form. They are bang in trouble.

Yeah Fellows put him in the shit. He should never have attempted the pass - you could see it wasn't on but I don't think Fellows even looked.

Shankland out injured for the next two months at least. Dykes in very poor form. I don't think Hirst is playing regularly for Ipswich is he? Adams is the only cert for me.

Missed a bit of a sitter but we can forgive him for that I guess

I agree to an extent. He does seem to struggle more when there are midweek games mixed in. I like him as a player but Downes and Charles are in better form at this moment in time.

In all seriousness I agree. Tonda will know that Archer was poor tonight but doesn't need to say it publicly. The same for the others who were substituted early.

What a way to kill the vibe

I'll certainly give him some credit for the second half. However Archer must never start a game again. Is rather see a CB up top if necessary.

One thing I've noticed is that Peretz loves getting involved in the celebrations in the big moments. Not a major thing at all but Gav or McCarthy would just stand there pretty emotionless. Must admit the team spirit seems like it's improving.

First definitely. Third tougher.

Does he deserve a start ahead of Fellows or Azaz? I'd suggest so.

Get Larin on for Azaz and stick crosses in at will. Instead Saints precede to just pass it around in their own 18 yard box.

Certainly don't disagree with this but what I would say is as soon as you start Archer, you give the opposition a lift. They know they will get the ball straight back.

You also know if we had Cortese at the helm he'd have another manager already lined up for tomorrow morning. Tonda will get a new contract.

I say I guess it can happen.. a professional footballer at this level shouldn't be as bad as he has been tonight. That goes for Archer as well. Even Fellows has been horrendous.

Jander is having a mare but he's normally pretty good, I guess it can happen. The fact he started Archer though is unforgivable.
