    Mundle was excellent first half but faded.

    league 2 fleetwood knocked West Brom out too, it’s a cup tie where we’ve took a look at fringe players, RLB will learn more tonight than he will have in a weeks worth of training, good experience for the younger lads too, it’s a first round cup game, it doesn’t matter

    If that is Prestons 1st 11 I fully expect to hammer them in the league.

    I’m not sure, maybe a bit dammed if he did, dammed if he didn’t. Such a short competition, a few wins and suddenly you are in the latter stages. Obviously we don’t want the first 11 picking up injuries but the manager could be inviting unneeded pressure onto himself.

    le Bris has been here about six weeks and he needs to find out about his players. I suppose he could just look social media instead. Personally I think you should calm down a tad.

    johnson, triantis, moore have shown they are fine to be used in the 1st eleven when needed.

    anderson, hjelde, ba just don't seem to be trying.

    rigg, ekwah, mundle and adil pretty much as expected and also fine to step in.

    i like rusyn, but apart from living off scraps he looks lost out there at times, one real good run early in the game that showed he had the pace to beat the defender and nowt else passed forwards the same after that, would have been happier to see him get the chance of a few runs a si feel that is where his strength is.

    decent run out for the second string but really wanted more to give RLB some choices to make, not bothered about the result or even the competition but hope RLB has gained what he was expecting.

    Ekwah was our best player I think, did the deep lying playmaker role well despite probably not being match fit.

    I'm not saying we should be keeping him if we get a great offer, but he's a solid member of our squad who can be excellent on his day.

    if RLB was in his second season I’d agree to an extent. This was so important for him to see these lads in a competitive game. We learnt quite a lot.

    I missed the first 20 mins then all I saw was we were beaten by physicality and experience.

    Need to see who he can trusts in competitive games tho - he would have learned so much from those lads tonight

    I always like a cup run so i was still desperate for us to win, i always am, but id rather give everyone minutes early on
