I remain confused as to why Robinson hasn't brought a couple more U23s to fill the bench. Believe Swansea are in the U23 league above us, so if nothing else would challenge them.
Also would like to have seen Bowry or Cummings or Blumberg starting at center half so that Dijksteel could start in his preferred midfield. Has he ever played there for the senior side? I know he's capable of playing center half and has done so throughout his career, but it feels harsh on a clearly talented young player that all of his senior appearances are at right back or center back when he's strongest in defensive midfield. Only explanation I can think of is Karl really wants to stress test him to see if he's ready to fill in for Konsa should he leave in January (and if he could, that'd be excellent).
Very happy for KAG. A lot of us have said all he needs is a goal. He's looked that way since pre-season. Scored an incredibly important one the other night and hopefully can continue that form. If Reeves still isn't fit for Saturday, I say he should start in place of Best.

Also happy for Reeco, good on him.
Probably keeping them out of the way so Douche doesn’t sell them.
So I'm guessing this is now (our next game) like the 5th round of the fa cup, so after that we have quarters, semis then final against someone at Wembley in front of a bumper 58000 crowd.

Shocking ...
Draw is no longer regionalised from this round onward.
