Frasers taken a few clatterings today without getting anything from the ref.

It’s not, we’re 1-1 away to a PL team and playing well enough whilst still lacking a cutting edge. This performance is far better than our cup trips to Sheff Utd and Sunderland under Poch and Koeman, for example.

I know people are allowed their opinions, but my God you must do your nut reading this ill-educated rubbish every day. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Tough angle for Fraser there.

Shout out to Wood for getting that started and being fine with our auto passing around defence.

Them getting drawn up. suits us.

[Suhari]

Got a bit end to end now.

Fraser looks good today. I'm glad we have him this year, I think we need his fighting spirit. 

[Saint_clark]

Well claimed McCarthy.

[so22saint]

I appear to be alone but I’m quite enjoying this

I was at Sheff Utd. I remember our fans booing Mane relentlessly that game. We were awful. 

I would assume those same fans are the ones we are currently reading on this thread.

AA totally ineffective why is he still on the pitch…

No, we're shit, we're always shit, all because our Manager is young, has a philosophy they just can't understand, and is banging Lucy Pinder. 

Clearly any minor pluses have to be balanced by the harsh realities of those point🍿

Agreed, but should have been a yellow for Dixon too.

[whelk]

Who is co-comms?

Because this game doesn't really matter and we need to play him to hope he maybe gets a goal and it increases his confidence?

Alright captain pedantic, I was specifically referring to the ones he didn't get a freekick from.

He's on fire tonight! 

[OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint]

FFS Armstrong. Get in there first

That's a tad harsh... I've always felt your posts are quite reasonable...

[Mixedkebab]

I think Taylor looks decent, he’s doing a solid  job defensively and going forward well for someone who hasn’t played much lately.

The higher the fewer

[SNSUN]

Dibling, Downes and BBD coming on

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nearly to AA who was right in the middle.

[obelisk]

Just get a shot away instead of trying to walk it into the net.

[imadirtyurchin]

Feel a little sorry for Armstrong. Hes made a couple of good runs in the last few minutes and we’ve not played the pass and gone backwards.

I certainly wouldn't be bringing on Dibling if he was tired with cramp on Saturday. We need him at the weekend.

Someone get him a Strepsil

[Sheaf Saint]

Triple sub.

BBD, Dibling and Downes on

Cornet, Big Les and Fraser off.

[Mr X]

The dribbling is on!

Why does it take the 4th official so f***ing long to operate that f***ing subs display board? FFS

Fernandes always looks like a breath of fresh air when he comes on compared to the rest

Half an hour here seems reasonable. He wouldn’t necessarily have started Saturday either.

‘Hope’ lol So not a strategic decision then … 

[Suhari]

So BBD still a left winger then?

We make any forward ineffective. That's what RM has to sort. Here, it was opening up nicely for AA if we could have got it to him.

[Saint NL]

The booos when Ashley Young was announced 😂😂

[6ft8saint]

All those changes and they left the new jack stephens...... wood on the pitch

[Saint_clark]

I stepped away when the subs happened, how on earth is Armstrong still on the pitch.

[obelisk]

Why not play a ball into the box from that attacking free kick? Instead the ball arrives back with McCarthy under pressure. Mind numbing.

He needs minutes against Prem opposition and the match doesn't matter. 

[The Kraken]

BBD hugging the left touchline again.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!!

For. Fucks. Sake. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

We could have got a fk into the box, choosing short passing and giving it away instead.

You'd be better off caring less about a league Cup game and just treating it as a good chance to see some promising glimpses from some players and taking the positives regardless of the result. It's a lot more enjoyable that way. 

[6ft8saint]

Urgency!!!!!@@

We are going to win 3-1

Don’t worry, we’ll soon train that out of him
