    Wow.. 3-2 in 48 mins.

    Great work by our offense. But Defense is hopeless as usual against a League one opp at Home.
    That was usual 3 from our starting back 4. <doh>

    Anymore proof needed??
    We have arguably one of the worst back 4.

    Matic is fast becoming Mikel 2.
    Fab cannot be carried by anyone. I wish he doesn't break Kante like he did Matic .

    JT Comes in to replace Aina in the final few minutes. Hazard came on as well.
    Way to screw up Solanke's & Chaloabh's day.

    Jesus Did Weep!!

    Pool has similar defensive woes like we do. They are winning 5-0 at Burton.

    The boys were in complete control in the first half. It seemed like a turkey shoot, but I'm very concerned by the lack of shooting skill upfront. In my opinion they should have banged 5 goals by half time. Signor Conte needs to learn from this.

    Wasn't a great show but Bristol offered very little, got a goal out of nothing to make it 2-1 and later, a very very soft pen (classic forward runs into the shoulder of the opponent and falls over).

    Won't use this game as a judge for anything. It was just up from a training match.

    We're into the next round and blooded some fringe / youth. Job done.

    I like the eternal optimists in you guys.

    I hope that is the case and guess I should stop seeing "the glass half way through to be full empty". <laugh>

    3 wins from 3 this year and no controversies. Looks better than this time last season :)
