Please prove me wrong tonight, but I can’t recall a game where Danny Ward has played well after starting the game. I just can’t see anything other than a Fulham 75% possession game and getting an easy draw with the line up tonight. And I’m always optimistic.

Aleksandar Mitrovic again not in the squad for Fulham

Half time 0-0 then go for it I’d say.

Not the team I would have picked but I am happy to be proven wrong

Hope I’m wrong, but I wouldn’t ov picked that team. I’d have played tomlin instead of pack, and let talks and vaulkes. But that’s me. Hope Harris proves me wrong

Pack is beyond a joke TBH. Harris has got his selection and tactics wrong in the first game. Hopefully if we are still in the game long enough he won’t make such idiotic substitutions in this game.

Looks like Flint May have played his last game for us.

Flint not in the squad , looks like he's on his way!

Tomlin is struggling with fitness so wasn't expecting that him to start tonight, I don't think pack should be anywhere near the starting 11 for a must win game he slows the game down

Apart from picking Pack I have no complaints with that selection. The trio of Glatzel, NML and Tomlin coming off the bench worked wonders when we first come back from lockdown. Praying for a miracle.

Big chance for Murphy needs to do something to justify his price tag

Same here - I don;t think they will be quaking in their boots at that line up. I guess its a tough balancing act and it is vital we don't concede first but for me Bacuna should be alongside Vaulks and Ralls in midfield not playing as a makeshift RB. I know Sanderson has struggled a bit lately but I would have played him. As for the strikers, well nobody is really firing, but we have had most of our best wins since the return with Paterson being a nuisance for an hour and then bringing on Glatzel, NML and Tomlin, so I am surprised and a bit worried to see Ward and Murphy start in a game where we need to be solid defensively too, so I would have started Hoilett for that reason alone instead of Murphy. Oh well, nick an early goal and it will all change. C'mon Bluebirds 0-2 and then win on pens...

Flint not in the squad , looks like he's on his way!

Not necessarily. 6 attacking subs if we need to chuck them all on. Haha.

Does Harris realise we're 2-0 down not 2-0 in front?

Can't see that team creating two goals whilst keeping Fulham out at the other end.

Will happily come back later on and call myself a tw*t if I'm proven wrong.

People forgetting how much Tomlin has played of late, whilst still recovering from an injury...

Just glad to have him available and when the game starts getting a little stretched, he may be our ace up our (proverbial) sleeve

Watch now; judge later....!

Ok - I'm a tw*t.

Still think that if the team that started the second half had started the first half we might be in the final now.

But well done to the whole squad and management team - you all did us proud tonight and especially since returning from the lockdown.
