    Gutted for Thierry Small. I honestly don't think we will see too many youngsters on the pitch apart from Simeu. Maybe Finnigan on the bench. It's more a case of giving fringe players game time. I'd go for Willy, Valery, Simeu, Lyanco, Perraud, JWP, Diallo, Smallbone, A Armstrong, Walcott, Tella. Walcott will get more space in this game so not a concern for me. We'll still have Adarma and Broja to come on later

    No real surprise that Ralph has gone strong. Unlike so many other managers, Ralph clearly wants to win cup matches.

    A lot stronger than I would’ve gone with Brentford only a couple of days away. Hopefully pays off and we are a couple up by HT and can make some changes (<laugh>)

    I’m slightly surprised with Brentford on Tuesday. Think we can be strong enough whilst protecting a few

    Five subs though. So easily have the scope to bring a load of them off, if we can get the job done early doors.

    Does anyone know enough about Swansea to know what strength side they are fielding ?

    They are 17th in the Championship so, based on us fielding our strongest side, it shouldn’t matter.

    They aren’t interested in anyone outside the Big Six and Newcastle are they.
    By the way, bearing in mind the war that’s breaking out on social media with the Geordies, look at what happened to the mighty Billionaire Newcastle
