could that be due to international travel? Both Japanese players were left on the bench too

any news on the injuries to Petermann or Draper?

not having a single striker fit is a huge issue, they need to be looking for one that's a free agent to bring in

could see him starting the United game ahead of Wilf

Think we need to find a place in the side for Thomas simply as he's one of a few players we have that can deliver a set piece

tidy game for him, nice to see him score, more to come from him you can tell

I think he has had a decent game tonight, certainly better than Skipp did

last round was clearly an abvberation, back to being a ghost of a keeper, when is Stolarczyk back?

gets into some really good positions but is so technically poor you never think anything will come from it

@JimJams asked a Stoke fan his thoughts on Cannon on another forum, here was the reply

yeah but we seem to get more than most clubs, I wonder if there are some changes that need to be made at Belvoir drive, hopefully the club are looking at every piece of research going to try and reduce this

only reason to recall Nelson in January is if we only have 2 CBs fit otherwise its best long term for him to stay there

I see Hannah Cain played for Wales last night, came off the bench in extra time as they won

he needs to start on Wednesday, preferably with Okoli, if we went to a 343 I'm not sure who our wingbacks would be, Kristiansen when fit would be the obvious on the left but Ricardo's age and JJ just not being good enough make the RWB an issue

counts as a loan but didn't need to be registered in the 25

more the fact we already have 2 prem loans and you're only allowed 2, Edouard going back would make sense but we may not have that option unless Palace agree

stick him on the bench Wednesday night, I thought he was a striker

Mikey Moore was apparently ripping it up for their youth sides and banging on the door, none of ours really are. I want to see Alves star for us but as yet he hasn't demanded the place, I want him to start in the cup and prove he should be playing, I want to see one of the young strikers go off the bench too

I'm sure he wanted it but was more than happy to stay if it hadn't happened he wasn't actively trying to leave

yeah but it was £30m we very much needed, was never going to play there though.

Okoli isn't the CB that needs dropping

bit different playing on the left of a pair than as the nominal left back going into a 3, he could have played more but I can see why he didn't play in that role

if he'd left right after the cup final yes but the 2 years of doing nothing after that lower him, we absolutely should have sold at that point

the game was streamed on youtube there was a link a page or 2 back Miquel said post match Rantala is out for a couple of months saying its a bad injury but not the worst one, so not an ACL. International break now for 2 weeks

created some chances you'd have backed Petermann to take on the counter which would have made it more comfortable
