Carabao Cup Thread - H draw v Spurs in next round Weds 31 Oct

Lukerz

Big game tonight. Confidence boosting win and then 3 points on Saturday and things will look much rosier this time next week.

I saw Stevie Potts make his debut... then was there for his son's debut ;biggrin

I was at that Wimbledon game. Joe Cole was awesome and Di Canio came on for a bit, was a little rusty. I was in the Wimbledon ends due to going last minute, was a bit embrassed by our fans giving Hartson a tough time about going bald all game.

Basically, we've all missed out on Suz! ;carew (work with me on the tree thing, its the only affection based one I saw)

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Match blog on the OS says no ET if its level at 90 mins, straight into penalities

Wanna see a strong team with a few of the guys who are short of match practice involved which Exwhu has said we are likely to see

Too soon for noble, Arnie or Antonio

Lukerz

Adrian
Zabaleta - Diop - Ogbonna - Cresswell
Rice - Obiang
Yarmolenko - Snodgrass
Perez - Hernandez

Is the XI according to whufc_bulletin.

It will be interesting to see how we get on.

In recent years, the sides we have put out for these kind of games haven't really played with any shape (or quality, tbh.)

I'm wondering if the changes Pelle is trying to make will have filtered down to those players not getting regular starts.

Lets just win a game of football ;biggrin

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Agree grey

Its not even that they lack first teamers it just seems flat when we play in the cup

Team looks strong enough though, interesting to see where Perez plays whether it is upfront or slightly behind Hernandez

Lukerz

Antonio on the bench

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Good ti see Holland too on the bench, really enjoy watching him play think hes very exciting

Youd imagine this team has enough to win fairly comfortably, although it may be a slow start

Adrian captain

puddleglumhammers

Interested to see more of Yarmolenko - looks like an old fashioned centre forward but plays out wide ! Supposed to have a great left foot shot. And Snodgrass has done precious little so far, so needs to make an impact tonight.

SuzanneClaret

Baby Rosenior and Scott Minto on the telly box ;wahoo

SuzanneClaret

Pens after 90 mins if it’s dead locked ;nonono

thornburyiron

Great start. 1 down already

PrestonHammer

I see the defence is up to it's usual standard.

buffybegood

Oh dear

SuzanneClaret

Ogbonna didn’t even jump for the ball that lead to the corner.

Basic defending if you are in a 3, 4 or 5 man back row..

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

What is wrong with us....

SuzanneClaret

A total inability to defend.

We should be so lucky ;whistle

SuzanneClaret

True dat.

SuzanneClaret

Are we going to run a sweepstake as to how many times they mention in coms that Rice lives round the corner ;doh

SuzanneClaret

Ogbonna on a yellow now, 10 mins in, for decent ;angry

everhopeful

Not sure any of our team merit a yellow for being decent!

SuzanneClaret

That’s a bit better going forward.

But we need to be putting those kind of chances away.
