Lewis Potter was lucky with this one, very nearly a career ending tackle. please log in to view this image
Eaves wasn’t the only player to get a hat-trick today, Darryl Duffy got one as well. Had no idea he was still playing.
Great hat-trick for Eaves. That will do him a power of good. Expect him to kick on now. Also re the tackle photo anyone with the foot that high is going for the player not the ball. Shocking tackle and lucky not to have crippled him. Couldn’t look any worse from any angle.
Don’t get it when people want Man City or Chelsea next round , I always want the ****test team left in at home . Are Leeds still in it?
Yes. Only because they haven’t played yet. Hopefully they will get slugged at Arsenal on Monday, Though if we could guarantee 100% beating them it would always be great to get them in the Cup.
KLP was lucky to come out of the tackle without serious injury but was booed throughout the game by Rotherham fans.
Seems we're managing to find ways to win even when we're not at it especially. Pleased, really pleased for Tom Eaves today. He does like his diving headers!!!... fabulous cross for the second from Herbie btw..
His hat trick today shows why Eaves scored so many last season. He's a good finisher when he's not tightly marked. In the Championship he's not finding the space he found today. Hopefully second half of the season he'll push on and work himself into space 'cos what today shows is when he does he's a natural goalscorer.
