6 league cup ties tomorrow night 5 of which are premiership v championship surely a shock somewhere so why are sky showing Swansea v Man Utd just very bizarre in my eyes especially when we are going to knock Leicester out

Maybe after the Huddersfield v Man U result at the weekend, the tv types sniff the possibility to show a game and result that makes 90%+ of us happy, rather than the fans of just one team.

I totally agree Boston, I can’t understand why Sky put cup ties on live which include Prem v Prem when they can put them on live during the league season! If a Prem club knocks out a Prem team there is no shock so why bother, the cameras should be a potential upset matches! MOT

We have the game on here, albeit delayed. Just have to make sure I keep away from the internet and don't accept phone calls or look at texts until I get home.

Me too. All day! i'm out so won't watch it until 9pm wed eve. With my rego being LEEDS 1. Its always a risk some numbskull decides to tell me the result.

24 Oct 2017 11:27:14
Or should i wake up at 3am and follow it live on text? Mmmm. Decisions.

Other team are always televised or on the radio, particularly with the BBC - they are the only team anyone wants to watch. Didn't you know?

So, what a result! It wasnt exactly how I predicted, after my rant about the cheap ibrahimovic that we have, again he got no minutes, questioning the purpose behind him signing because if he isn't getting game time, is he just another antonsson? Ronaldo vieira showed exactly why monk had so much confidence in him last season, and why perhaps if we had given him more of a chance over the likes of hernandez, then we may have fought more in games such as cardiff, milwall, and reading? who knows, fact of the matter is its a huge 3 points against a bang in form team. They may have reached their summit now imo, they're a good side but the premier league quality players always seem to get results in this league and teams like villa, hull, and derby are starting to show this of late. All last season we were crying out for a midfielder to step up, here he is. Samu is going to make up for any deficit that chris wood left us with. He is such a talented player and reminds me of a david silva kind of player. All the pundits are saying he makes such a difference to the way we play, and he is able to be dependable in games like yesterday to produce. Similarly, Kalvin phillips one of the surprises of the season for us all so far, along with captain coops, who i am slowly beginning to admire by the game. there's a different feel about the way we play and the results we produce, when we score first we win, when we score first we tend to score at least 2, and home/away form doesn't appear to affect us, i think this is because a lot of the players we have signed aren't used to big crowds that you get in this league, particularly at ER, so they just play to the best of their abilities and are told by TC to do so. i'm not nervous about the way the team is organised, or TC's managerial decisions, what worries me is the tendancy of the players to give it 100% every week. There is no question that there is proven quality, the issue we have is consistency and picking the payers that want to fight. For me a big statement would be to promote Kun to the first team by the end of the year, the lad has huge potential as we all know, and would be capable of working anywhere along our top 4 against the lesser teams for me. we are known to invest in youth, i can't see many of our youth players currently leaving the club for a long while in all honesty. Team for Leicester: Wiedewald, Anita, Jansson, Cooper, Dallas, Vieira, Phillips, Sacko, Gomes, Roofe, Grot. Quite the mix up really as he did against burnley, we'll see i think we have a chance though. MOT boys, back to winning ways.

Agree with all that you have said other than the statement about Phillips, I just don't rate him and don't think he will ever be more than a mid table championship player at best. He gives the ball away more than most and goes missing when the games aren't flowing our way so for me he's a no. Has good moments but not enough of them.

He played really well again on Saturday and deserves his place at the moment for me based on this season

23 Oct 2017 13:04:54
And was terrible against reading the week before

23 Oct 2017 13:13:36
Gomes playing for U23's today against udders. No Kun in the team so perhaps a call up tomorrow?

Martyn, everyone was awful against Reading!
