Lady Di, Trevor Francis, Tom Brady, your lads took a hell of a beating tonight....

Really fun night and deserved that win. Rhys Walters never mind Tolaj he is going to smash that transfer fee. Wouldn’t shock if that caught Blues attention as he was the best player on that pitch.

Felt very cathartic that Tolaj song that was going round the away end and outside afterwards. We’ll take bigger away followings numbers wise this season but that noise all night was intense. 

Gauci looks so composed in everything that he does. The confidence he gives just goes through the team. Humphreys is an absolute quality signing. 
 

Player of the match was undoubtedly Walters. As the game went on in the first half he just started taking control of the game and was always looking for the ball. It has got to be either Byers or Walters playing that central middle role from now on. It just doesn’t work with Shipley there. 

What a win. Thought the selection was bizarre but that was a Moore masterclass. Everyone played well. 

Walters has to start Saturday.

If we’re going to play 3 centre mids as much as I love the skipper and as well as Ojo has done, The starting 3 for now has to be Walters, Byers and Croasdale.

Lady Di?! 😂

Nobody would have ever envisaged Walters coming back and make this much of an impression. He's beyond awesome. I know I sound like I want his babies but he's class and at times part of his style of play reminds me of Earle and Taylor

I can see why Headley got sent off after playing dreadfully at Rotherham now. He must have been sulking to miss out on an attacking wide berth in a 3. He was quality tonight in that more advanced position. To top it off with a goal was very pleasing.

Jaheim needed that goal tonight, he’s looked really hesitant up until that point hopefully it’ll give him the confidence to crack on from his performances from last year - he certainly looked very happy at the end in front of the fans.

Talking of fans if the gate was 21k (?) at let’s say a tenner a ticket  average, that’s at least £90k (45% is the split I’ve read somewhere) more in the striker transfer fund (hopefully!).

Tbh I think he is better as a winger rather than a left-back/LWB

The midfield is a wonderful problem to have for more, all players contributing and performing. And so much better for us, the days of our midfield going walkies is a thing of the past. 

Will be cheering on United in the cup tomorrow, I want us to be the ones that draw them next and knock them out 😄

Is it still regional the draw? If not either want Arsenal at the Emirates or Everton at the new gaff. Either of them would be grand.

Not from the 3rd round, no.

I didn’t have a problem with the selection, a stronger team than I was expecting. Still never expected the win though, just shows if we can win there we should be ok in our league.
