Hopefully should build the confidence of a few players. But as Eddie asked for it - not really bothered about the cup. 3 points on Saturday would be much nicer
Actually the forum didn't have all the usual stuff about "Don't care about the Cup, only the league". Maybe the sight of Parky at Wembley has changed a few opinions. Re-Eddie's point about playing Harriott and Green in the same team. Green put in a very good shift last night, looked as if he really wants Pritchard's spot. What he'll do with it when he gets it remains to be seen, but Wilson looked like a defender pure and simple last night- maybe that's what you have to do when Green's in front of you. On the left the alternatives to Harriott are Cook or Evina. I've seen Cook a lot at different levels and last night was the first time I've seen him play a good game, so I think it will need more than one good game to get him in the team. I don't know why Evina never plays wide left, he seems suited to it. Or he could play an additional CM there, like Jensen did after Parker left. What I think he'll do is play Harriott and drop Kermit a bit deeper, although I won't know until monday, since I'll be on a barge in France.
Maybe if we had a squad containing Michu, Hernandez, Dyer, Williams etc I would change my opinion. But with a small squad I'd still rather the 3 points on Saturday to beating Oxford in the first round of the League Cup.
Why should it be one or the other? Anyway our squad isn't that small- last night was our reserve team more or less, and was a good run -out for them.
I agree it will hopefully build confidence for a few of the fringe players. But until it happens again on Saturday with 3 points on the line I can't get excited.
I can't believe how he doesn't get into the Polish national team. Better than that Lewandowski bloke anyway FHB, enjoy your holiday [video=youtube;zwYP6eesX9E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwYP6eesX9E[/video]
Last night proved that we have some strength in depth. I thought Cook, Evina, Pigott and Church were particularly good. In addition, the emergence of Cousins has shown why the signing of Gower was really quite pointless. At 3-0, and deep into stoppage time, I was on the verge of a £100 win, but I happily saw that profit disappear down the drain in exchange for the look of sheer joy on young Joe's face. The 'handball' chants were great.
