John Eustace - our head coach

I think the key was playing the two technical players as the centre mids, total game changer as they could find the right forward passes which has been our big problem. I imagine we'll play the same way on Saturday. Why change it? Especially when Swansea are exactly the sort of team who will try and get on the front foot. -

Really impressed with everything about how Eustace approached the cup game today. Made some innovative decisions like starting Buckley and Moran together in a two which worked very well, made us very organised and compact, and had the team well motivated. If he carries that into the Championship games I think we might have made a very good choice as manager. -
I dont think its an english thing per se - fans dont integrate in football generally globally (Italy, Spain, Argentina, Germany etc). Rugby, cricket etc all integrate fine in the UK and abroad. Why that is? Not really sure... I would guess combination of being very popular and teams tending to be geographically very close to each other meaning very easy for huge numbers of away fans. In US sports teams tend to be located very far away from each other. Rovers have 12 professional clubs within an hours drive...

Yeah - also from a morale perspective if the best players are not allowed to play in the most anticipated game of the season I can see that being a big problem. Resting one or two knackered players we can get away with, but wholesale dropping the first team and playing kids in a game all the senior pros will be chomping at the bit to play is asking for disillusionment. I think we will probably play close to our best side.
