It’s unlike Evans to pick up an injury after getting a new deal.

In Bell’s defence, as I’ve said, Reed isn’t sticking out wide so they keep doubling up on him. That being said he’s been disgusting with the ball.

Sky just said we’ve had a shot. That can’t have classed as an effort, surely?!

Get Graham, Rothwell and Arma on and at least we’ll have a touch of quality (the former two) and pace (the latter). It can’t be any worse than this sh!t show. No shots at all FFS.

Thank God for half time where I can watch something interesting - like the kettle boil. Is this going to be TM’s Spurs match where we don’t even register a shot? What the feck are we playing at as an attacking side? It’s embarrassing.

The lad is having a stinker (albeit out of position). He’s either giving it away or passing backwards. We can’t even string two passes together.

I think it’s meant to be Reed LW but he’s coming inside far too much and exposing a very poor Bell. TM needs to sort this at HT - we’re offering zilch going forward.

Sky have dropped a massive rollock here. It’s reminiscint of our FA cup ties a few years back.

JHC we are looking pitiful as an attacking force. Can’t even pass the bleddy thing. Even Reed/Dack just turning around with the ball instead of driving forward.

Bell’s composure on the ball is frighteningly bad.

Yep. Conway seems to be right but no idea whose meant to be posing a threat from the left so far. Bizzarre.

Looks like their targeting our FB’s with the high balls.

Fear not - we’ve nobbled their big lad up top already!

He’s bagged a fair few already this season. Who will be on him for set pieces? Lenihan? Needs a big game, as does Rodwell.

Better than Bennett. From memory he’s played CB for us before and for the under 23s many moons ago.

I’d imagine Nyambe from the bench. Far from ideal. As an aside, he’s bemoaning injuries to CB but why not have Grayson or Platt on the bench instead of Butterworth when we already have Graham and Brereton as options? TM just said on SS that Downing couldn’t be considered (effectively). Must have agreed a deal despite travelling then.

Almost as if blingy has stressed the importance of a cup run...

Not that I’m twitchy (yet) but Ipswich and Reading won today.

Yep. When he’s fit, he has to start. Millwall seems the sort of match he’d relish too. Very strange.

Not a fan of that side. There’s zero pace and the only creativity we have is Dack. Also would not be starting Bennett at RB - a little like Smallwood for me in that TM shoe-horns him in no matter what. Rodwell owes a performance at CB. And while he’s doing the business for the under 23s - bring Nuttal on for Graham, don’t start him at his expense.

So fancy telling us how you knew Nuttall would start, Madon? Spot on apart from Conway for Arma!

Of course Kasey Palmer would score on his debut for Bristol city...

Bit surprised they're not considering recalling him - they've got lots of youngsters on their bench today, even Sam Gallagher has had a call up.

Good spot - if only we could clone him! Yeah I suspect he’ll go for Travis/Evans in CM and play Bennett RB as you suggest. I like Benno’s energy higher up the pitch but he’s not a RB. Nyambe’s physicality would be far more preferable against a strong Millwall side for me.

Have you been in the Brockhall bushes, Madon?...
