I guess it’ll be a case of following on our phones for those at The Amex then. Be excellent if we get to the final after the match though!

Are we not the third ranked side if Birmingham win? Which would mean we play the second ranked side? If Gloucestershire win then we’ll be the second ranked side and would therefore play Somerset? Either way we’re in the second/third ranked slot.

Thanks - did they say in which way? Hoping we get the early semi to avoid the clash with Ipswich home game.

Was there any confirmation if we would be the first or second semi final?

I wonder how common this is with pro footballers. I know it was the same with Dan Harding and his school/youth football team. Sure there must be many more.

Fingers crossed. If he can stay tactically switched on for 90 minutes, then we can start to see his progression really speed up.

Does make me wonder who the back up to Wieffer’s position is now. Presumably Baleba, but that does make it all the more odd that Gilmour was picked there ahead of him against Man U. The club clearly have a lot of faith in Wieffer being a bit of a star. I think @Hugo Rune is probably correct...

Bet Frankfurt fans are delighted that after being rumoured to be in for Gross, they potentially end up with Dahoud!

If the team are confident enough that Ferdi knows the system, then put him straight in. If not, at least give him 45 in what is a bit of a free hit anyway. Could easily say the same about Pervis actually. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a scenario where we’re a goal behind and Pervis + Ferdi...

I think you’re spot on. I’ve said before that he doesn’t always create the right angles to receive the ball because he is so keen to take everything on his left, similar to as you’ve pointed out with his tackling. In the Man United game it looked like he had improved on this though.

From RDZ to Fab I think it’s becoming clearer that it’s a tactical/game intelligence issue that holds back Baleba being given a regular starting slot because he clearly has an immense physical profile and outrageous skill set. I have wondered if this is possibly a language barrier thing or if...

Have to say at the moment it feels far more like luck (or opposition failing to capitalise) than any kind of improved defensive structure. We’ve not really ‘controlled’ a game yet bar the end of tonight and likewise Everton. I may not be giving enough credit to the offside trap which they’ve...

The performance the sticks in my head is the short spell he was on the pitch against Chelsea before he got injured (when we won 2-1 at their place). He looked unplayable.

Not sure this is the same problem but every time I click to a new page on NSC I get this privacy message: I’ve tried various options but it keeps coming back! Anyone else? Any idea @Bozza ?

He will play in the position Milner’s been playing, surely. Not that Milner’s done much wrong in the last two games.

Unless Adingra can start pressing like Minteh does, I think he’ll predominantly be the back-up option as I can’t see Fabian dropping Mitoma either. Either way, it makes a return for Solly as a winger look less likely, especially if Gruda is as good as he’s hyped to be. FWIW, if Solly was fit I...

Posted in the Championship thread but thought Beadle looked a little bit silly for Leeds second goal. Not sure what Wednesday fans made of it.

Yep that Cardiff one was a shocker. Followed by some Welsh pricks refusing to pick us up a taxi because we were English.

Beadle didn’t look too clever for that second goal.
