I would okay Danilo in the 10 for the first half and then replace him with the Dom.
A midfield of Sangare, Yatesy and Danilo would be good.
I have no problem playing Toff’s and Eric as our full backs. The question is who plays next to Boly? I am guessing Morato.
The forwards pick themselves in Taiwo, Sosa and Jota.

Yes don't think there is much doubt about the front three.

We need to be sensible and pragmatic in our approach to this game. But we also need to make sure we win. Ipswich are next if we do get through, and they are there for the taking also, which gets us into the quarter finals.
Looking at who is left in the cup this year, we have as good a chance as we have ever had to go on and win it.

It does feel like we have an opportunity.

So we are away at Exeter on a wet Tuesday on the same night that Man City are at home to Real Madrid.
I knew it had all been a dream, those last 3 years never happened did they? Is Hughton still in charge?

Yep, nothing to see here Salv. I'm just praying Knockaert is fit for tonight.

On the assumption that we get through tonight's tie, I reckon that Ipswich game will be really tough. They'll be backed by loads of fans and just go for it. I reckon they could be really good if they just play in an uninhibited way, which a 5th round cup tie would be.

Lots of comments about giving squad players a chance to reward them for their hard work
Sounds good to me

Got to win this one first.
