    4-5-1 / 4-6-0 , Cooke in the false nine.

    Who in their right mind goes all that way to watch a meaningless game? There's loyal and there's got nothing better to do.

    What a stop from Staunton on the line at 1-1 by the way.

    he emerges with lots of credit tonight.

    Yeah, it wasn’t a great set up. Adams was just managing minutes. Cooke and Scales pushed up, Watt and Sutton moved into CM and Gillead moved right where Vernam was. Ineffective, although we did have a few chances at the death

    It’s a shame he hasn’t been involved more after the promise he showed last season and poor from Adams for freezing him out

    Proper fans.

    Bet @Fordy117@Fordy117 was there. He'll be along shortly with his report no doubt.

    Hopefully Staunton has given Adams something to think about with his performance tonight. Not sure he’s an Arsenal (or whoever) target but I have been a bit surprised by his absence this season.

    I think he’s good enough to be 3rd choice, if not at least 4th choice centre half.
    He could’ve freed up Songo’o to play in midfield had he been given a chance earlier.
    Certainly prefer him to Kelleher at the back.

    Hornby needs to start in the league now. He deserves a run.

    A badge of honour. 'yeah I was one of those at Sunderland for a dead rubber but could I get tickets for Chelsea away?'

    RE staunton, he should be ahead of kelleher in the pecking order after tonight anyway, and hopefully he can push paudie. Kelleher should be our last resort.

    It’s a shame and he comes out with a decent amount of credit after tonight’s performance. However in reality he’s some way off the starting XI.

    If either Canavan or POC are injured Songo’o looks to be the first choice replacement. I could see Staunton potentially playing in a 3 CBs however still think Song’o gets the nod before him. Ironically right now the only position I can see his closest chance is at LB whilst Ridealgh is out, however Foulds has been decent so far so deserves that spot.

    The best thing for him now is as game time as possible for a month out on loan. Hope that and performances like tonight put him in good stead for more chances in the future.

    Probably not. There's a few grown men on here that are too emotionally delicate for certain cartoon emojis.

    Talented young player, not often I think that about City and youth. Played like a composed winger to set up that goal.
    Hope he can make it with us.
