Totally agree Smithers ( except for KJ,who is s---) What a terrible midfield. Says it all when we were better after Delap got sent off!! The only bonus is that Delap won`t come into consideration for the next 3 games.It shames me to have to say that!
We got the result and we needed it 2 wins in 11 now I think?
Not really the confidence builder we needed but a result is a result! Dont understand flogging Walters into the ground and I agree about KJ, but what is the point in having him if you dont play him games likle these so Crouch and Walters are 100% fit foe the next 2 home prem games?

I thought the team selection, was perfectly justified, given the calibre of team we were playing LEAGUE ****ING 2.
Thoroughly professional performance again, especially after going down to 10 men.
After this performance, i will say well done boys.
Now go do Valencia 2-1 & go through on away goals.
In TP we trust.

Bad decisions all the way through from the ref today,not a sending off and not a penalty.
still we were never gonna win the cup so a bit of money for us and a good lesson for some of our players as to what its like to play against
a top side.Just seen the hand ball on the line at the end but it wouldnt have much difference.
Good luck in valencia(you might need it).All the best.

Told you so 
- agreed, a result is a result, no matter how we get it and that's how far I have come, cos I never thought that - oh sod it - fingers crossed for a home draw - oops what am I saying.
In all serioiusness Leicester at home - roll on CovFox and all of his/her alias's

Seroius Huthy?
You thought that playing Delap, Whelan, Crouch, Walters & Shawx in a game (that as you suggested we should have been able to walk with our reserve team) who will play away on Thursday and then at home on Sunday was a sensible team selection?
I agree that overall it was a proffessional job done well in that we got the result and we can move on! Less than 50% possession was expected away from home (for us) and down to 10 men (not that I think it would have made any difference if Delap had stayed on), but only 2 shots on target (1 a penalty) to their 8 shows how little we create against even the basic of opposition and they completed over double the amount of passes we did!
Excuse the French but..
**** selections.. WHY not Fuller and Jerome or Jones for Crouch and Jerome 2nd half?
Pulis will whinge about player's being tired but WHY didn't your rest Walters and Crouch Tony?
ONE good thing Delap will NOT be anywhere near the first team for the next 3 League games,
he was way too slow but still not a red card imo.
I hope the Crawley manager is happy now.. Championship player's?? maybe but, three or four efforts on goal TWO nil we'll move on now.
It's a good result and let's hope for a home draw v Lesster Nicky just to shut cov fox up finally.

Totally agree Potts
I did not suggest any future matches, if you read correctly, i said that TODAYS MATCH was a perfectly adequate team too progress & we did.
But now we are ****ed .........Liverpool away < sad sorrow face needed a home draw >

Sorry potts & Waddo(**** selections ??????), he picked a team too do a job, that team did the job, **** selections he was resting players with a view on upcoming fixtures.
How you can complain about **** selections when we progress through to last 8, ****ing astonishes me!!!!!!!!
Any team that features Delap in is a **** team selection in my book! If he was a horse he would have been shot now. Ok fair play we won but he could have cost us that game because he is too slow and cannot tackle!
That was my point Huthy, you have to make selections based on our coming fixtures aswell - so resting Shawx, Crouch, Whelan & Waletrs who will all start in Valencia would have been the sensible thing, so in my book, poor team selection and a lack of man management - just my opinion!
Mighty Huth ?
Are you serious.. WHY do we leave Jones, Fuller on the bench? for me, we if pulis wants to progress in the Europa our best team to play..
Walters is knackered now.. Jerome was fine, Delap DON'T even mention the guy.. WHERE and WHY did'nt we use those other player's Huthy?
REST Fuller? the guy like Jerome and Jones SHOULD be busting a gut to play. Do you honestly think that those who you say we're rested are better than Crouch, Walters, Jerome, Whelan.. IF they ALL Play on Thursday WHO play's v Swansea next weekend... we could have won that game with Fuller, Jones up front I'm sure we could.
Your'e oppinion is fine by me.. but we got a result NO more than that.

Just got back from Crawley. It was a professional performance having only had 10 men for the majority of the game. Jones (the Ref) got every single decision wrong - not a sending off, not a penalty and Collins handled the ball at the end - he should be sent to join Attwell, because he is one totally useless ref.
I thought the defense played OK, including Collins who was often left without any midfield cover once Rory had been dismissed. The midfield was its usual inept self - ran around a lot, but could not trap the ball or pass it even remotely close to a Stoke Forward. Jerome & Crouch also played well, although Jerome did miss a sitter first half.
Jon ran his socks off (again), but this has undoubtedly taken a yard or two off his pace, because with the ball at his feet, he is like a man running through treacle.
Clearly Woodgate (since his interview about being asked to play at RB) has fallen out of favour with the Welsh Wizard, so he joins a list that stands at Pennant, Palacios (he cant play two games in four days, but a 36 year old slow moving guy can?)Etheington, and earlier in the season Huth.
Given that we have not yet scored at Liverpool in 4 attempts, this is not the best draw, but it was at this stage last year TP had an epiphany that lasted for about 6 weeks. We can just hope that it happens again, although a midfield that features Whitehead, Whelan, Diao, Delap, is probably the way that the mighty TP will approach that game - and I seriously think he'll play Salif against Swansea & Norwich!
