[SwalePie]

In case you can't read the small print the subs are:

Rawlinson, Tipton, Nemane, Bostock, Jones, Morias & Langstaff

[PTID1862]

Didzy and Matty Palmer not even on the bench is strange when we could have named 2 more.

And Brins kept his spot? Is that a back 4?

Junior on the bench! Well bless my eyes because I never thought I would see it

I'm assuming it's a 3 of Cameron, Baldwin and Brindley with Chicks and Tobi as wing backs, Badger and Jim in midfield, Austin and Crowley as 10s and Scott up front.

[Proactive not Reactive]

Back 3 - TAR & Chicksen wing backs

That's how I read it

Brindley is definitely on trial at the minute and LW is giving him every opportunity to impress

Not had a home draw in this competition this century, the last being against Huddersfield in 1999. We haven't had a home League Cup draw other than in 1st or 2nd leg games in 40 years! The last proper draw being against Birmingham in the epic multi replay round.

Never had a League Cup penalty shoot out at home, four away (won 1 lost 3).

Really surprised we didn’t use tonight to try the 4 at the back and play a more compact and strong unit. If we go 5 at the back, I get the ‘let’s not throw it all away stuff’ but we know we’re defensively better with a solid 4.
