First time I seen the keeper and thought he looked decent. I'd give him a try in the league not just in cup games. At first glance he appeared to have tracky bottoms on but we're in fact super long socks .
Yes he did what was required,good to see him come for crosses etc,but there’s not many I’d have over Fab in the PL.Yeah I think I would stick with Fab, he has made wonder save after wonder save and you know he will earn us something like 12-15 points each season.
Pluses from last night was the keeper, Diop played well, Zaba got some game time in. Anderson looked lively as always although end product not up to his usual.
Negatives, Ajeti I dont think actually touched the ball all night and looked way off the pace. Sanchez is not even a footballer, he ran around a bit but his distribution was diabolical, nobody should be paid a footballers wage to be utterly incapable of passing the ball 5-10 yards. Cresswell got skinned a couple of times but come to expect that now.

Funny old game, couldn’t disagree more.
Diop has a shocker, especially first half, got bullied, turned, and gave the ball away leading to a gilt edged chance that they should have scored from.He got better second half, and won more battles.
Sanchez first half gave the ball away( as did Wiltshire and others) but positionally he was pretty much bang on all through the game, which is what he’s there for, and won more and more challenges as the game wore on.He does give me the jitters when he’s got the ball, but he also seems to be constantly singled out when in fact he’d done the job he was put there for.

I think for me Sanchez does a lot of running around and holds his position but to be frank we could pay a championship player £5k a week to do that. The modern game for that position requires a footballing brain, quality distribution and have very high retention stats (which sets Rice apart from his peers) which Sanchez doesn't have - I counted numerous times he gave away possession as the last midfielder whilst not under pressure which started an attack for Newport, we were lucky they didn't have the quality to make it matter.

Diop dominated second half, to the point their big centre forward (fair enough he did win the freekick) was moaning like a big girl about being shoved about. Balbuena looked shaky again with a number of hoofs off the pitch where previously he might have taken a touch and made a pass.

Oxford away in next round.
On tele again then ...If Ox had lost to millwall that game might've been televised, although I suspect some warm balls might've prevented us getting that as a home tie.
