Gueye and Kargbo on for Ohashi and Hedges at half time for me.

Buckley in the Carabao Cup?

His dead ball delivery is poor - surely we have someone better?

He cannot lead the line - he needs to play off someone. Gueye should always start when fit.

Their RB should have given up 2 pens.

Absolutely stonewall.

They're the best team we've played all season, they properly bottled the automatics.

Imagine being that petty after watching 15 years of your rival having their face stamped in by an oppressive Indian boot. No wonder they have the reputation around the football world that they do.

Sadly forums are dying out. Gotta appreciate what you have - the modern way is shouting into the void on social media.

I suspect we're going to get absolutely battered.

What about Phillips and the Irish fella?

Ben Bottler-Diaz.

He won't see any minutes in United's first team for years. It's purely a money thing - they can offer far more than we can. He'll be loaned out to oblivion just like Phillips.

I picked from a host of names that are currently out on loan - I don't profess to know which ones are closest to the first team as I haven't watched any of them play.

They've already told you the plan - the next tranche of Academy players will fill out the squad. Duru, Batty, Powell, Montgomery, Gilsenan, Tyjon, Michalski et al are all in line for plenty of minutes. To be fair that's what Broughton wanted to do too - he just wanted to spend far more on the starting XI and initial reserves (say top 16 players total) and use the Academy for depth / development. I'd be amazed if we're not weaker next season, it's inevitable with how they run the club.

I think Hedges is a decent defensive winger / wing back that's been miscast as a wide attacking player. He falls apart in the final third of the pitch. Dolan is in a massive purple patch at the moment - if he could put it all together consistently he'd be a top half of the Championship player. Sadly he blows hot and cold - and his final ball / decision making is often infuriatingly poor. You can't fault his work rate, even if he looks like he's running in treacle.

He at least seems qualified - has held the position at multiple clubs before and has a UEFA Pro license.

We'll need another CF if Gueye leaves. I like Ohashi, but absolutely nothing sticks when he's playing upfront. He gets bullied.

Considering Eustace is one of the better managers in this division, why wouldn't he go to Derby? They'll finish above us next year.

Everyone around me seems to be renewing, including my parents - sad state of affairs.

Yes. He'll know where he's going too.

If PNE go down do we think they get stuck there? They're hardly a financial powerhouse - I wonder if they'd struggle to mount a promotion challenge, especially if one or two players left for cheap.

You'd think they'd clean the Venkys logos on top of the Riverside Stand if they were bothered about keeping up their profile...

Neither one is an athlete.

I thought Cantwell was outstanding today - looked like the player I thought we were signing in the summer.
