[consilio]

One of those league cup games that won't stick around in the memory for too long. Job done and into the next round. Newcastle away will be a good trip.

We controlled the game throughout and with a goalscorer would have won it comfortably.

Another clean sheet builds confidence and a couple of fringe players got a decent run out.

Helen and Sasso were our best players and the latter is looking a very decent signing.

Kieran Lee looks a better player under CC and he also had a good game. Nuhiu got his first goal and that will help his confidence.

Matias and Sougou added pace and energy off the bench.

Unfortunately, Lavery was awful again. We need to get him out on loan ASAP.
