Adkins won't want to know about this competition, he's under pressure in the league, so will play an under strength team to play with 'nothing to lose'. I see this as a straightforward 2-0 to us as Bloom will want to progress - and instruct accordingly - given our lucrative ties with Arsenal and Newcastle and the profile and cash these brought.
Albion to take a surprise 2-0 lead into the second half before a nervy 45 minutes where they pull one back and we just about hold on for a 2-1 victory.
Well played Albion today & Solly March in particular for your man of the match award.
