Replays for Sunderland, QPR, Wigan and Fulham is good news for us too. Just a shame our neighbours couldn't get the same from Villa really.
Nah, he should listen to our resident oracle Carrabuh and show Benno and Jacko the door as they're apparently not good enough for us any more
Has to be so pleasing for CH (Darren Anderton called him Houghton by the way) that all of the outfield players, admittedly against a regimented, imagination free Championship side, came through today and showed they can play. I didn't include Rudd as he just had to practice his goal kicks.
He did have to make a smart save near the end. I hope we do get to see some of today's starting 11 make the starting 11 next week!!!!
Who would you go for? I certainly thought Elliot Bennet would be the stand out worthy of consideration. I know some people like Fox and it was certainly a good ball to Cinnamon but against Prem players might be different. If Holt is still injured, I think Jackson is worthy of consiration as well. But in reality, Rudd, Lappin, Tierney, Barnett, R Bennet will not be starters.
I'd love to see a Fox-Tettey partnership in the middle at some point this season, whether vs Newcastle is the best time or not I don't know. Snodgrass played very well, so I can't see Bennett getting the RW spot, and Wessi is practically undroppable at the moment. Assuming the formation stays the same, maybe Fox is in contention, and possibly Jackson (though the lack of height would concern me). I don't think any of Barnett, R Bennett or Tierney will be in contention (assuming no injuries) on the basis of a performance against Peterborough, apart from pass the ball across the back 4 they didn't have a lot to do, and Tierney offered a lot less going forward than Martin did.
Redruth - Agree re Bennett and Jackson being included in the starting 11 and they did their cause no harm at all with their display yesterday. Rudd and Tierney both looked comfortable without being stretched - I well remember E Bennett tormenting Swansea at the Liberty when he was asked to play in the Hoolahan role. Hope we get to see more of Butterfield as the season goes on too. I'd quite like to see a slightly different starting 11, just to freshen things up a bit, but not wholesale changes like we used to get from PL.
