Watched the replay and to me that group looked better at the JDT way than the league team. I thought the same in the 1st two rounds but blew it iff as against lower league opponents, this was not. To me we look snappier moving the ball, quicker to close down with the League Cupp outfit. Is JDT building two teams here? Great result.

Oh good, I can watch the game now.

Easily could disappear by Sunday afternoon. Let's go 2 n oh gainst clarrot n blue opposition.

Was not sure where to ask this sonthought next match thread. When will Hedges find iut if he made the Welsh squad or not.

Never say No Nay Never.

I know the past two cup rounds were against lower league but I enjoyed the way we played. Looked like our second string were better at JDT's game than the 1st eleven. Let's go win and set the tone for thumping all things clarrot and blue.

Pack their box and put the crosses in. Don't see us winning though.

Dack should start AND give him the Captains arm band.l

And when do we throw in their extra day rest being home in the cup game as an advantage. As always not sure which way it goes but JDT best have his ducks in a row. I really want to win this one.

Rubbish. Are we really 2nd we look so crap half the time. One thing for sure, we take that shit to Turf Moor and we are looking at a reverse of the minis and ferraris match. I have so far been totally unconviced by our league position and feel like it is ludt a matter of time till we witness a Danish style death spiral. Strange cos at the same time I find myself thinking just a few minor adjustments and we could really do this. I like the thinking I just don't believe we have enough players with the required quality to pull it off. So bloody infuriating.

Burnley are more accomplished and further along than is in their rebuild, why? well that is easy they bought better quality than we did, they can afford it. I think almost all across the pitch they have equal or better We have the better keeper maybe. One thing may go in our favour more of our players have blue blood and been in Rovers set up longer than most clarets and oerhaps our lads will be a bit more up for this than them. Maybe. Either way this game does me head in.

Then ten pens it should be. It needs stopped. They are fouls, give em.

It seems this is still allowed as is two handed push in the back. But by god don't knock a player over sliding into a challenge. Shirt holding on the blind side of the ref is getting quite prevalent too.

Never went on the old Riverside then?

Good win, very good win. Having been slightly critical of him I must say Smodics has grown on me. Another terrific finish. Vale was really.good when he came on. Young Adam Wharton,, well what can I say looks a real real talent. For all their huffin and puffin Hull never really threatened to score, onwatds and upwards.

Nit seen anything from young Ash in the man's game to suggest he is anything special. Young Wharton eclipsed him for young uns making an impression. Let's not forget our oast us littered with "the next big thing" type players who really went nowhere but down. Nuttall as mentioned, Broomes was one too no? Buckley fixing to be another unless he gets over his mourning for Mowbray PDQ

Sadly Dack is done here. Mowbray revealing his chat with Dacky probably put the final nail in the coffin as far as JDT is concerned. In all honesty I feel JDT has not given him a fair shake, not at all. Is it a ploy by JDT to assert authority, bit like taking out the biggest in a group of bullies. I really feel for Brad as if one ACL in his prime was not bad enough but two, it's a damn shame for both club and player. I would love for it to work out but I think this marriage is irretrievably broken.

Steady on now it is early days. We don't yet know if JDT has a death spiral in him. Signs are promising. Confidence is what this group needs only wins will bring that. Two W's in a row is great, now let's get 3.

Comma maybe but not full stop. Just cos that is your opinion it does not make it so. By letter of the law that oush on Wharton warranted a pen. so equal equal.

Clear foul in my eyes too. Not the only one not given either.

Just you wait till February and the death spiral coming your way. I did think Sunderland looked a good side and had I not known I would have said no way does Mowbray manage a team that plays that way.

I think it was a penalty but offside no. Player in the wall olays Whatton on and maybe the ref thought well if you had not given Scitt a two handed shove he would not have been there. Getting irritated at the amount.of holding players are getting away with and still hate all the play acting and falling down with the slightest touch. Penalty decision makes up for all those not gone our way either for or against. Still took me about 6 views to make up my mind. Sky really don't like us do they.

The boy has some silky skills for sure.

Yeah, your opinion on the Dingles and being at the bottom end surprised me. You are not usually so far off.

How is Rothwell doing anyway?
