    I'm not sure what the lesson was from tonight regarding the two strikers, they both scored great goals but barely passed it to each other all game.

    I know we normally drop into a 442 when we lose the ball but it’s normally Rigg alongside the forward Having two forwards on the pitch makes a big difference Would be happy enough to go with the same team on Tuesday. Think we will get more of the ball at home and going more direct Mayenda scares the ****e out of Defenders

    Been obvious from day one, also that Roberts should be benched and ELF play central , the praise for the manager is over the top for me, but that was a tremendous performance from a team that is not that far away from making history. OaU

    I think the emphasis was on defence tonight I think we could play the same formation but be much more on the front foot at home

    Enzo Le Fee playing the killer pass that Isidor has been gagging for, for weeks

    I'd definitely be playing the two of them every game, they're our most dangerous players. Whether that's one of them on the wing or two up top I'm not sure.

    I’ve only been saying since his Leeds goal he’s been sweating for a through ball and the one time ELF steps inside he gets one and scores

    Also anyone saying 442 was always the answer etc it’s not. It’s the answer when you can sit in and counter

    we did it against Preston and it took a worldie to stop us getting beat

    that’s why he did it tonight. RLB got it spot on

    Never said it did. You want to pick a fight try elsewhere.

    I worry about Le fee defensively on the left but he worked so hard tonight, was knackered last 10.

    That said, he had one moment tonight in 90 minutes and he got it perfect with the pass to Isidor. If we get to Wembley and ultimately the prem, that alone justifies the price we paid to get him.
