Fulham may also rest players in the cup, Mitrovic is apparently one of the players who might be rested.
Onomah and Hector could be given a start.

So we're looking for a Win purely to boost confidence, not sure if I want the Club going on a Cup Run it's hard enough keeping the Players fit for the League But if winning this provides the Team with a bit of a morale boost going into the W/Ham game then 1-2 Scoreline with Dallas and Klich scoring

Some commitment from McKinstry's family.

Stuart McKinstry's family were so set on making his transfer to Leeds United work that his father moved with him to Wetherby while his mother and sister stayed in Scotland.

On nights, heard the Meslier pen save on the radio, just saw the Forshaw miss before i left, thought we'd lose it after that. A bonus game in the next round, hopefully a lesser side at home

Good to see MB putting his faith in the youngsters and they did not let him down. Cresswell looks ready for the first team, and Summerville looks tricky, just needs to work on his final ball. Great to see Forshaw again. I thought he was quietly effective. Our front line never really delivered and once Klich left the pitch, we struggled to create. However, Fulham brought their best players on towards the end and I was impressed with how we held on, and won the shoot-out on their pitch. Overall, a satisfying night's work.

Wondering what sort of side West Ham will put out against the schum tomorrow, seeing as we get an extra day's rest before we play them at the weekend.

Yes, we move on. Hopefully a better blend of young and old next time. Would have preferred Rodrigo up top. Can't even get to play his position in the Cup games.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Amazing MB prefers Roberts up front. Still trying to force square peg (Rod) into round hole (attacking mid)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes it's bizarre. Based on his form, Roberts clearly does not deserve his chance to take the spot that is Rodrigo's natural position. And his lack of goals backs that up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Beren Cross thought Roberts was our worst player, some see what they want to see.

Lowfields73 match report
0/10
“Lowfields73 never gets behind his team constantly berating individuals and performances. Any defeat is met with calls for the managers head and any victories are met with silence. He is the worst kind of supporter and hated by the club and it’s fans. Unless performances chance he could be let go on a free transfer to go and support Bradford City”
