Good that JC had a full game but probably showed that he is still best coming in for a half.

Aapo was taken off for tactical reasons, anyone understand that? Does it mean, he had a yellow card and we want to protect him for Derby?

I think that Bub has half an eye on the Derby game, wants to see how Coops goes on Monday.

Disappointing for me today, I know the League is our priority, but as an older fan I love the FA Cup and I feel cup runs inspire League form. We as a Club somehow don't seem to embrace the Cup.

I don't get Bielsa saying that the other 6-7 teams below us need 2-3 chances to score but we need 5-6, so with an attacking team we risk our back 4. (loose interpretation of what he said! ) . So saying that is our front players not as good as the others below us? Or is it not proof our defence needs strengthening? If the price of our fast pace attacking style is that we can expect to get caught out at the back with the counter attack? If so what we doing about it?

Mezzanine Why do you think we were chasing in the summer Abel then Vydra?

I definitely think that Halme was taken off to protect him, Spanish. No other reason. The same for Tom Pearce; fresh back from injury, give him a run, then protect him as we might need him too, over Davis. Bielsa thinks differently, clearly, than any other gaffer we’ve had before!

George, I'm glad we didn't sign either of them.

Good point mezzer! Depends how you interpret it. Pontus, barry and Luke are usually solid, don't mind coopers effort, BPF is always a gamble.
But upfront roofe is on fire and we might get a game or two injury free from bamford so who knows! I think a left winger, a solid GK, and if we have extra cash a solid striker, if we can't get the quality don't spend it on 'they'll
do' players!

My interpretation of Bielsas view was that we are under pressure at the moment because we are not making more of the opportunities we are creating whilst at the same time defending poorly at set pieces. When we only do one of those we survive but we struggle with both.

Mezzer the defence has the 2nd best record in the league.

We'll be raight when Coops is back, can't be a coincidence that we've shipped a few while he's been out.
