MDT - Carabao Cup: LUFC v Shrewsbury Town

Key takes from the match.

1. Gelthardt finally got that goal he needs for confidence.

2. Ayling's age has him seeming not good enough even for League 1.

3. Shackleton is a System player, the stricter the system requirements the more at home he looks. Future manager in him.

4. Gyabi looking more comfortable.

5. The whole team looked mads as hell with the deflection going in.

35,129 Crowd - Amazing!! 73% possesion, 20+ shots on goal. Just need to find our shooting boots

Kin ell we got Salford away in the next round.... Mancscums little sister!

That'll kick off.... 🥊🥊🥊🥊

Plenty of shots, only 25% on target, so need to find our shooting boots.

But well done boys, a win's a win. MOT💙💛

Poveda, James ,Ampadu & Gray all sounded like they had good games..

Get innn

2-1 Strujic from a corner

JOFFY--😁

1-1 Poveda shot,keeper pushes it out and bounced of Joffy and in ..positive start to 2nd half ..

Byram & Strujic on for Hjelde & Gyabi ..Ampadu moves into midfield ..

Every team we face just knows we'll offer them a goal or two.

This has been going on for the best part of 2 years.

How and when will we be able to root out all those defensive frailties, I don't know.

People should aknowledge/understand that despite Saturday's turnaround and good second half performance, and put things into perspective that it was against a fairly poor (mediocre at best) Cardiff City.

Even if we do manage to turn it around against Shrewsbury, there remains so much work to do with this team.

It also confirms that at least some of those on the "fringes" of the team are perhaps not all ready for this level (let alone the Premiership).

FFS LEEDS----They have there goal we need our 3 NOW--😥

Heres to a big cup run BB---😃 LEEDS 3-1

No Link !!!!!!!!!!!

3nil

Dan James to score

Weather is cracking t'flags

Gyabi mom

looks like Ayling at CB or Shacks at LB?

Gray at number 10.

Gelhardt up front.

Hopefully Cody & Perkins get a run out ..

does anyone have a link for the game?

Best of luck mate for long run.3-0 Leeds win

It would be nice to see Cresswell get 90 minutes under his belt and no injuries!

It will also be interesting to see if Drameh plays?

come on Leeds

My side would be:

Klasseson

Shackleton, Cresswell(C), Hjelde , Ferguson

Bates, Gyabi

Povada, Gelthardt, James

Perkins

Our goal keeper Klasseson needs game time and this puts him the window for a loan to a League 1 club with a good game.

And just to throw another line up in the air. I'd go with

Darlow

Shackleton Cresswell Hjelde Byram

Gyabi Ampadu

Poveda Allen Perkins

Gelhardt

I dont predict but if I did 5-0 to LUFC. Hope Carlsberg rules apply.

Well stepped up BB and good luck on your march to Wemberlee....

I'd go with that team but that'd really piiss Gnonto off if he had to play in this one!

It'll be tougher than we think but I'm going for a positive 2-0 victory with Perkins notching a brace....

Darrow

Shackleton

Cresswell

Hjelde

Mullen

Gyabi

Bate

Poveda

Gelhardt

James

Perkins

..

Looking forward to a rare trip to Mecca on Wednesday.

Expect a youth side - the one you pick works for me, except I can't see Gnonto being risked ahead of a move.

Best of luck for a prolonged run - going for a 2-0 Leeds
