The Fish

Was surely a gamble that Sels wouldn't be under that much pressure from a lower league side, we played 3 CBs so any pressure should be dealt with. As it is, his confidence must be shot. Although, there are few circumstances that he'd actually play now. Darlow is 1st choice, Elliott must be 2nd choice, so aside from an injury disaster between the sticks, I don't think he'll take the field for us in a competitive game ever again. meh.

Read somewhere that Mitrovic was the nominated penalty taker, which would certainly make sense given the line-up. Rafa said that if we progressed it would be by using the squad and the team he picked should have been enough to progress. Mind, on another day we would have been a couple of goals to the good in the 1st half. Oxford deserved their cup victory and Newcastle deserve criticism for falling to a team significantly lower down the pyramid. That said, the tantrums and bed wetting needs to stop. At the beginning of the season we all agreed that Promotion was the be all and end all, we're still on course for that. Despite that, I don't know why Rafa keeps giving Matz Sels a shot; Sels P14 W7, D3, L4 F29 A13 Wins Reading 4-1 Bristol 1-0 Brighton 2-0 Derby 2-0 QPR 6-0 Preston 6-0 Birmingham 3-1 Draws Aston Villa 1-1 Hull 1-1 (lost on penalties) Birmingham 1-1 Losses Fulham 1-0 Huddersfield 2-1 Wolves 2-0 Oxford 3-1 DARLOW P20 W16 D0 L4 F41 A14 Wins Cheltenham 2-0 Wolves 2-0 Norwich 4-3 Rotherham 1-0 Brentford 3-1 Barnsley 2-0 Ipswich 3-0 Preston 2-1 Cardiff 2-1 Leeds 2-0 Birmingham 4-0 Wigan 2-0 Burton 2-1 Forest 3-1 Brentford 2-1 Rotherham 4-0 Losses Blackburn 1-0 Forest 2-1 Sheff Wed 1-0 Blackburn 1-0

2-0 Ffs

Armstrong just scored for Barnsley

He definitely deserves criticism for missing a penalty. Have to say, it sounds like Eastwood is playing a blinder.

FFS Mitro

Penalty saved

Spurs got it back to 2-2

Sorry, I'm just exhausted seeing Mitrovic's name in complaints. The kid gets far more abuse than anyone else. More than Dummett or even Perez! I'd bring on Yedlin, Shelvey and Ritchie for Gamez, El-Mhanni and Barlaser.

The rest of them are doing brilliantly mind, That pesky Serbian ruining all their good work.

uh oh 0-1

Sounds like their 'keeper is playing well. No surprise Mitrovic isn't sharp mind, he's only played 451 minutes before today and he's coming back from injury.

Aye, but the fewer big clubs, the worse for our chances of getting a demoralising cup humiliation!

Sounds like we're growing into the game a bit, so expect an Oxford goal any minute.

Erm, Wycombe are winning 2-0 at Tottenham. It'd be just our luck to have two massive teams like Liverpool and Spurs drop out of the cu, only to be followed by us getting knocked out at Oxford.

Not a sausage

We could make a flick book afterwards?

Wing backs?

I'm just twitchy mate, don't worry about it. Worked against Birmingham, plus we've a much stronger bench this time.

You thought wrong fucko.

Big fucking tart.

Sels Gamez Hanley Good Haidara El-Mhanni Hayden Barlaser Lazaar Perez Mitrovic Bench is really strong Rob Elliot, DeAndre Yedlin, Paul Dummett, Jamaal Lascelles, Jonjo Shelvey, Matt Ritchie, Yoan Gouffran.
