If we go out of this cup tonight, you'd think it'd seal a number of exits in Jan.
I missed the early pages on the starting lineup, but where is Hartridge? Unless he's injured, if he's not even getting action over a loaned out kid in this cup he really is in an awkward position.
I think absence brought on some rose tinted specs when it comes to Hanlan for many. He was always an extremely frustrating player to watch imo. Probably at the bottom of the pile for our forward line, even when Vokes is back.
Well one blessing is that Matt won’t have any selection headaches for the weekend. He will sleep soundly knowing pretty much the entire starting 11 won’t be needed in Shropshire.
Also answered the question of do we need another centre half. Yes. Taf is done. Skura is not ready. Losing Taylor would be a problem.
The player that makes me sad is Butcher. He saved our season last year and now looks a shadow of himself. His body language is all wrong. He looks disinterested and lost.
I'm struggling to see a way for him to start regularly with Kone, Udoh, Fred and McCleary certainly ahead in the pecking order. I think he battles with Lubala for next knockings.

I don't think we'll see him again for a while. He has re-injured something, by the look of it.
Not sure he's a central striker to be honest. I thought his best position was wide left.
One positive to come out of tonight is the knowledge that he is not that great.
The same again, I fear.
In fairness, he hasn't played in forever.
"Colossal upset"
"Three without a win"
ALRIGHT MATE, take it easy.

I’m not watching but delighted to see we could be out of this cup.
Its potentially four extra games we don’t need with our league form and FA Cup run

mccarthy left wing what the...
A bit harsh.... hes not long been back after a massive absence.
However.... I'm not sure what MB is seeing in training to keep playing him right now

But the problem is it means we'll have loads of players not getting much action.
We've never needed more games than this season, squad wise.
His special talent was always the ball sticking to him like a burr on the pants during a pleasant countryside ramble.

I don't think anyone was likely to stay based on the promise of a few runouts in the pizza paint trophy
Looked like a muscle problem to me.
Always best not to knee jerk, but you do have slight worries this "super strong" squad we have isn't quite that.
The player that makes me sad is Butcher. He saved our season last year and now looks a shadow of himself. His body language is all wrong. He looks disinterested and lost.
Do well in that and get a few cheeky run outs as 5th sub in the occasional midweeker?
Yes, only one of GMac or Udoh - and once Sadlier is back, I would go with an attack of him, Kone and Fred.
need some 2nd string replacements in jan. 5 or 6
It's hardly the biggest carrot in the world
commentator has been annoying all game think he is forgetting it’s the mickey mouse cup ,
Butcher and Leahy are dreadful.
You rate Sadlier quite highly don't you.

Why am I still watching this dross? I have a real problem.
in the absence of a co-commentator he is doing the talking for 2 people
Udoh poor tonight
The comeback is ON
