Stop moaning. We have a job to do this season and this Cup does not figure.

I can moan all i want thanks, paid £24 to watch this off the back off "We won't make 10 changes, etc etc". 

This formation fully nullifies Nyambe and Bell, it seems to be a 5-1-1-2 formation with Conway trying to figure out where he's playing...

... and just like that we unveil Bereton.

What choice did he have but to play a weakened side?Look at the players we have out. 

Which is more important tonight or Sunday?

What would you be saying if he started one or two more first teamers and we picked up more injuries?

I'd say "C'est la vie". They could get injures in training or getting out of bed as well.

Let's be honest, if we go out He's got the selection wrong. It's a fine line between fielding the weakest team possible and still going through and going a bit too far and being knocked out.

Fair do's. I'm sitting at home in Manchester, but still cheering for a Rovers' win.

Brereton signed 

[bluebruce]

Strange to field both Graham and Nuttall, especially due to, as someone said earlier, Graham's participation in a midweek match last week putting him on the bench on Saturday. Must be because of the Brereton deal being completed, and presumably Arma being back. I guess Graham will be on the bench again. However, Mowbray has shown he doesn't introduce anyone straight into the team the week they sign, so Brereton will likely be bench at best for Bristol. Armstrong up front must be the tactic for the weekend...bit of a risk though, should his injury recur before then.

A few puzzling lineup and formation choices tonight, but let's see at the end if it worked. Also...who the hell is Joe Grayson? Not seen his name crop up before even in the youth team discussions.

I am not getting at Mowbray , we have genuine injuries..Most managers  nowadays change teams for cup ties , whether they need to or not !!

Apart from that. I saw that mentioned earlier. No idea of him as a player. Defender it seems...central? Any good? How old? Highly rated? etc.

Apparently there is also a game on at the moment.

Whats the crack? 

Why is Caddis on the field?

Nuttall with 10-bob ‘ead when it was easier to score!

[BigUts]

Gooooooal

Great assist from Travis - driving run through the middle of the park. Touch to his right for Graham. Nice finish by Graham just inside the box, right hand side.

Brer who?
