I didn’t realise things had got so bad at Huddersfield.

Chatting to a mate who's a Hudds fan. We both expected with no match fitness he'd be on the bench. But starting upfront, crikey.

Hattrick here we come.

The line up was just done in numerical order, nothing to do with position.

They are playing 3 at the back with Kaine Kesler Hayden at right wing back, Lowton is definitely the right of a front 3.

Not sure what's worse with the Leicester game on BBC. The commentary team or the camera angle.

Opted for Salford vs Northampton instead.

Can it get any worse for Southampton, surely Jones can't last much longer at this rate.

FGR-Birmingham off due to a waterlogged pitch.

I like the camera angle, feels very engaging and close up. I agree that the wittering commentators are pretty unbearable.

You’d think with all their sustainability projects FGR would have a system to syphon off the water to use to make the brews

From Saints reporter on Twitter

‘"Nathan Jones, your football is ****," rings out from the #SaintsFC end, and more than audibly.’

Was a bizarre appointment by Southampton that. If you're going for someone known for playing a certain "brand" of football, surely Dyche would have been a better option?

Gillingham and Portsmouth making it difficult for Leicester and Spurs respectively, could be a shock on the cards in one or both of those ties.

Still replays in 3rd and 4th rounds though likely not for much longer if the bigger clubs get their way.

We've lined up strong vs Bournemouth.

Cork on bench, Taylor at left back. McNally as expected only makes the bench.

Yep! 4-2 Wrexham, a 2nd string Coventry though glancing at the line-up's, even so that's quite a turn up.
