Wildsmith looked ok but is still obviously very inexperienced and his kicking was very poor.

Wiggins looked OK, he's certainly a decent squad player and can keep pushing Pudil for the shirt.

Although Joao and Hooper had poor service they did little to create for themselves. Joao tried a trick or a back heel every time the ball came near him when on several occasions he could have found a teammate. He's still got a long way to go before he's the finished article. Hooper looks horrendously unfit, slow, poor in the air and short of confidence.

I thought McGugan immediately made us more of a threat going forward. His table of passing was excellent and he looks to have a go when in range.

If Hunt was at fault for slipping over for the first goal then Hutchinson was 100% to blame for their second when he made a needless challenge in a dangerous position. He's my favourite player but also the most frustrating at times.

what i meen pieowl is you either go for this cup or dont  we and many teams are just never decided untill the fans have thrown away 200 quid each on tickets and travel etc  and the sad thing is we got so far   when you get this far a little bit of luck is all you need sometimes  so we should have gone all to win the game yesterday   but for cc tinkered to much  off course he had to in some positions !! but in others he should have left them be  even picking nuhui from the start 

please dont tell me he was resting him for derby (head in xxxx hands ) if he does it will be 70minutes of boredom coming up and the lets go for broke in the last 30 again  derby will piss thereslves at this tactic ,which my little three year old girl is discussing with her mates when they come round 

 And with all this exictement in the cup game    i forgot to wish you all a Merry Christmas and have a great time till now and the new year , enjoy it    and remember this is our month usualy  i hope so 


Merry christmas everyone   now wheres the gin ive got the day of work

Hutchinson is frustrating & does give away unnecessary free kicks but I prefer that to just allowing players through as a couple of other players did last night.

Even CC was spinning on the touchline when Hutch gave them the first needless freekick dead centre of the D

Hutch was probably one of the better performers last night, he stood out more due to how poor the rest of midfield & defence were performing.

Quite honestly it's the nature of Hutch's game. He's physical, his mentality is that of an old skool player. These days it takes nothing to make a continental player, or even some British players these days, to start rolling around on the floor like they've been shot. I don't see his inherent mentality changing, he might be able to work on his game being less physical. However, in the heat of the moment Hutchinson will more often than not drop his man.

Great instinct, a natural footballer. Would never be at a club like Sheff Wed were it not for his constant injuries.

I liked your post because you wished everyone a merry Chriostmas imre. Not because of the rest of it, which was: bafflegab, codswallop, bs, a load of carp, :how can I get out of this without telling pei he was right:

And what are you doing drinking gin anyway? That's a woman's drink.

Me. I'm sipping on a nice glass of port right now. After polishing off a good Canadian beer. Man's drink.

No correct score & scorer.

No winner in the predictions.

MS & Pei both get a   for being closest to the possession figure, both 1 away.
