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.

[RVclaret]

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

[giveusaB]

Gillingham v Leicester the tv coverage is at pitch level.

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.

[claretburns]

Salford leading early against Northampton in League Two.

[Rileybobs]

I wonder if Huddersfield have signed the wrong player.

[Winstonswhite]

Is anyone else struggling to get the picture on Spurs Portsmouth? Just a black screen with commentators

[claretburns]

Palace 1-0 Southampton.

[giveusaB]

No.Spurs v Pompey fine on tv iPlayer.

[HiThere]

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

Opted for Salford vs Northampton instead.

[tiger76]

Palace 1-0 Southampton.

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

No wonder they’re struggling,with a soft centre n midfield

[RVclaret]

From Saints reporter on Twitter

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

[wilks_bfc]

No wonder they’re struggling,with a soft centre n midfield

Yeah but kids & grown ups love him so

[Burnley1989]

Watching the PNE v Huddersfield game, not a bad game tbf, not too much quality on show but it’s alright

[jrgbfc]

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?

[RVclaret]

Yet another James Ward Prowse free kick

[tiger76]

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.

How is Lowton doing?

[Burnley1989]

How is Lowton doing?

Huddersfield look really poor, it’s been all Preston really, Huddersfield all sat behind the ball

[Burnley1989]

0v1 Town, horrible defending

[Burnley1989]

0v1 Town, horrible defending

1v1 the defending gets even more comical

[wilks_bfc]

1v1 the defending gets even more comical

OG from their captain.
Not sure what he was training to do with that clearance

[wilks_bfc]

Do the games still have to be decided today or are we back to replays?

Wide open game this, hard to believe they’re championship sides

[tiger76]

Do the games still have to be decided today or are we back to replays?

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

[tiger76]

Saints ahead.

[Wuggawumphwumph]

Is that macdonald playing for gills who once played for us

[wilks_bfc]

Is that macdonald playing for gills who once played for us

Yes, Alex Macdonald

[HiThere]

We've lined up strong vs Bournemouth.

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

[wilks_bfc]

PNE turned this around and now 3-1 up

[claretburns]

After the 3pm games we have 6 FA Cup ties this evening, 4 kicked off at 17:30, Sheff Wed v Newcastle is at 18:00 and Liverpool v Wolves at 20:00

17:30 games:

Brentford 0-0 West Ham
Coventry 0-2 Wrexham
Grimsby 0-0 Burton
Luton 0-1 Wigan

[Aclaret]

Watching Coventry v Wrexham......Coventry getting hammered.

[tiger76]

Watching Coventry v Wrexham......Coventry getting hammered.

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

[Vegas Claret]

if Panzo is a first teamer for Cov he wont be playing against us after that red card

[tiger76]

A good day for the Lancashire clubs, wins for Blackpool, Burnley, Fleetwood and Stanley getting a draw at Boreham Wood.

[ksrclaret]

Sheff Wed 1-0 Newcastle

[Matt_Whalley]

Lewis Richardson scored for Grimsby 3 minutes after coming on.

[RVclaret]

if Panzo is a first teamer for Cov he wont be playing against us after that red card

Yes he is a first teamer

[chekhov]

Goal for Weds. Great thing not having var to adjudge a marginal offside and kill the moment stone dead!

[Aclaret]

Coventry now showing some fight...3-4

[Stayingup]

Goal for Weds. Great thing not having var to adjudge a marginal offside and kill the moment stone dead!

Hope the Owls win and somebody gives Tindall two fingers.
