Agree on Ajeti, another one for the illustrious list of WH strikers signed in the last 20 years 
Yeah looks that way so far. Eight million quid though 
I get that Pelle wanted to get two players in every position to create squad depth, but to have the second player as someone on par with how good I am is not quite getting it right!
So Pellers got moaned at for putting out a strong team against Newport when we ended up losing Antonio to injury,then gets criticised when when he puts out an understrength team against Oxford in the next round.
You really couldn't make it up, this place is getting more the like the whingy old gits that used to write in to OLAS by the week !!

I got no problem with Pelle putting a strong team out, but not a player with a huge history of injuries and was already carrying one. Antonio was not fit for that game and shouldn't have played. No contradiction, just common sense.
I would certainly expect the club to give the travelling fans a financial gesture today, you shouldnt be losing 4-0 to a league one team in that fashion. I can understand losing by the odd goal and being unlucky but four nil, its like me turning up to work in my pyjamas, lounging around all week, drinking beer and leaving at midday - I wouldnt expect to get paid!

Pretty sure I didn't call out Manual Pele Greeny for playing a strong side in the last round.
I want us in the Cups, we ain't gonna win the league. (unless we get relegated a couple of divs).
I would always play our strongest side in every match.
Injuries? All part of the fun.
Players need a rest? MTFU. Poofs.
COYI.

I was curious to know what had happened to Fabs but they didn't show it and didn't mentioned it either. I thought we escaped a penalty when Cresswell grappled with the Cherries striker in the box. As for the offside, I saw it explained on MOTD and still didn't understand the goal decision - that's offside for you these days! 
Apparently the striker was behind the ball but the freeze frame clip they showed was at the time he kicked the ball. Well, to get the ball to go towards the net you would be behind it unless it's an overhead kick. Perhaps they didn't explain it properly... Anyway, it was another one of those games that we would have lost in previous years and again we've come from behind to get the draw. It's looking good for 40 points this year chaps.

Lets hope Roberto has an Adrian type effect of moving clubs and being thrust into the first team!
Rice apparently had an absolutely top notch game again with mid 90s pass completion, most intercepts etc. When he is a few more years in and commanding a team with an armband on he is going to be a monster of a player in midfield - the main concern is who replaces Noble when he goes out to pasture.
