I thought the same, which will only make it even more embarrassing if we don't stop the rot and win a cup tie!
Washington not in the squad two games running, might be off. Shame as he works hard, he's been a bit unfortunate as well but just two many missed chances for a striker. Still glad we've put out a strong 11 today, really hoping for a good result.
Only the one change from to the starting 11 from the last game, Chair for Luongo, presumably to rest him, plus Chair looked a promising ball playing midfielder when he got games recently. Think Ollie has got that right, no need to make changes to a winning team where not absolutely necessary with a week to recover, even though I think Pawel is a far better right WB than Cousins.
Don't think it is Dave. I paid for Championship games not on international TV only, but as the stream has not worked at all for 2 or 3 games maybe they could have bunged in the Cup, especially when they are showing the warm up and must have cameras set up. Maybe they aren't allowed, or hopefully we get a surprise!
I have no problem if Washington goes, I think we have youngsters who are as good or better in his role (sS), but I think we need to keep Sylla as I see no alternative or back up to Smith now at least.
I think we’ve been very fair to Washington given his return. He’ll go and be great at the next team scoring week on week. Time for someone else to have a go.
He does. But considering how much flak Ollie gets for playing players out of position, I applaud a decision not to give the striker role to someone who is good at chasing, works hard but seems completely unable to strike the ball cleanly, be in the right place and, in short, score goals. That is his day job.
