Iâ€™ve only watched the second half but weâ€™ve been excellent. A bit more movement upfront would be nice though.

Get in Burke

geoff · « **Reply #127 on:** August 14, 2018, 09:24:08 PM »

Leko on

HampshireBaggie · « **Reply #128 on:** August 14, 2018, 09:34:06 PM »

Edwards and Leko looking tricky but need to take a shot every now and then

Must have been one of the few times we have beaten a team from a lower division.

geoff · « **Reply #131 on:** August 14, 2018, 09:58:05 PM »

Still in the hat for the next draw along with game time for some of our younger lads so a good result if not a great performance

don1thedon · « **Reply #132 on:** August 14, 2018, 09:58:42 PM »

Yep a win's a win!

barnestormer · « **Reply #133 on:** August 14, 2018, 09:59:53 PM »

Anyone know when the draw is?

zippyandbungle · « **Reply #134 on:** August 14, 2018, 10:00:35 PM »

2 wins on the spin, a clean sheet and a bit more game time for some
A good evening

paulosull · « **Reply #135 on:** August 14, 2018, 10:01:51 PM »

Burke first goal for club youth given a run out and a win with no fuss to boot

And not drawing with a lower league team for once

Anyone know when the draw is?

On Thursday, on Sky (about 7pm) before they show Sunderland v Sheffield Wednesday.
It will, again, be split into North/South geographical sides of the draw, without seeding.
We were in the southern side for round one, and will see what is decided tomorrow after the addition of the non-european competing Premier League teams and who is out already.

don1thedon · « **Reply #138 on:** August 14, 2018, 10:02:55 PM »

Not a bad guess that, official site said 10,404!

beechyboy90 · « **Reply #139 on:** August 14, 2018, 10:05:31 PM »

In the next round of the draw.
Plenty of minutes for the youth.
Burke first goal and a full game.
Clean sheet.
2 wins on the bounce.

Roll on Saturday

We were completely dominant from what i saw. If we didnt have HRK upfront we would've scored more. Lots of midfield possession and movement but little up front.

TheJacko2000 · « **Reply #141 on:** August 14, 2018, 10:26:25 PM »

Thoroughly enjoyed that. Moore experimented with a different system and gave 90 minutes to nearly all the fringe players. Excellent management. Following on from my halftime comment Field was excellent 2nd half and Harper grew into the game. Mozza controlled everything.

Kanu though was woeful. Literally nothing stuck and he missed 3 absolute sitters and another presentable chance.

TheBrom · « **Reply #142 on:** August 14, 2018, 10:29:07 PM »

Yep we dominated that and created 3 or 4 clear cut chances that anyone but HRK would have put away. I never understand why we donâ€™t just start with our strong strikers then take them off once weâ€™re 2 or 3 up.

Did that Luton right back we were interested in play, if so how was he?

Interesting how we normally complain when a manager doesn't take the cup seriously...

Baggies · « **Reply #146 on:** August 14, 2018, 10:32:58 PM »

Great to see Moore experiment with something new (had a feelinf we would see the 3 at the back before long ad I have said a couple of times)

Even better to see us have so many young players in the team (Toisin, Field, Burke, Leko, Harper, Edwards and Barnes all around 20 years of age).

Given the changes and youth in the side, that's a great win.

Does anyone proof read anything before publishing these days? Other than that I agree with most of what he says

alex1 · « **Reply #149 on:** August 14, 2018, 10:53:33 PM »

Interesting Field playing centre back. I think his defensive qualities are better than his attacking ones.
