I love Willo but he definitely has lost pace this year

Yeas, but he's had a good game so far

Bob Mortimer...Brian Clough...Don Revie...Chris Rea...Paul Rodgers...your boys took a hell of a mild beating.

Chilwell will prove to be a very good singing. His experience and class will be needed.

He can play all the cup and European games and sub in for Mitchell when necessary in the league.

He is a good signing. The only worry is both our best players are LWB

I was a bit hard on him early on but he played the whole game and got more involved as the game wore on and I thought played better second half. (I too love the guy). It may be a bit of rust and just that he needs to play smarter and can't just be the Agent of Chaos he was been up to now.

Took 20 minutes to settle but our back three looked much better tonight. Tomiyasu is quality, Disasi is solid, and Ahanor lreminds me of a young Mark Guehi.

Well not many people on here was expecting 2 goals and assist from larsen in the same sentence

That was a really good work out tonight against one of the better championship sides. Sat deep and then let Borough have it. Strand Larsen getting off the mark will do him the power of good. Changed formation and players using the whole squad, I’m liking this big time!

Sets us up for Ipswich on Saturday and you can see confidence spreading through the side. Keep it tight Saturday COYP 🦅

A more controlled second half. Our press wasn't so suicidal so the space for Boro wasn't so big to play into.

We take some risks going forwards which is exciting and can lead to some decent chances. We frustratingly sometimes rush the first pass which kills off an attack before it's even started but I think we've been like that for as long as I can remember.

I've given JSL plenty of criticism but pleased for him and should do his confidence some good. Just needs to do it against a Prem defence now.

Disasi and Honest look promising.

Tomiyasu did ok but importantly lasted 90 mins.

Wharton needs to recalibrate his passing radar.

Mingueza some decent passes a little iffy when defending.

Osorio looked better in spells when we had controlled possession rather than any quick breaks.

Gozo extremely raw.

Hughesy, you've gotta love him.

... And a beautiful finish from Daichi.

Onto the next round!

Tenor?

Tenor?

I put twenty on it.

Better second half as Boro ran out of steam . Defence looked decent with Benetez not really having to make a save which is a vast improvement on recent games

Midfield needs to get a grip on games though ,too many turnovers trying to pass between the lines .Early days though , COYP!

At his age that is v good
