    I'd like to think both? Sutton probably deserves to retain his bench spot and East perhaps deserves one after a good showing last night.

    They're very different players anyway so I'm not sure why it hasto be a choice?

    Are you trying to compare those Leicester kids with the United class of 92?
    Please tell me you’re not

    I think because of the limited bench places. Maybe there is room for both, although I don't think both would get on in the same match, barring injuries

    But as we all know a side can be carried by one or two very good players

    Clearly not. Nope. I'm just saying kids does not mean rubbish which you implied.

    I would like to think East based on last nights showing of the pair, but different players for different roles. I don’t know enough about Stockport’s midfield to form a judgment to be honest.

    If I wanted to hang on to a lead then Sutton, if I was chasing the game then East as East has the passing range. Some of his balls to the front players last night were sublime. If I had my way I would have East and Songo on the bench as the latter could cover the role alongside Smallwood and cover for the central defenders perhaps, leaving East having a free role ?

    Based on that last sentence, Stevenage should be getting to the FA Cup final

    It’s about adapting to the game and becoming less predictable. We have the Squad to play a variety of ways if we are under the cosh for a time change it not withstanding the fact that we are doing well so we must be doing a lot right

    Agree some of Easts balls last night were superb. Faded a bit in the second half

    East is a decent footballer but is a bit lightweight Sutton from the bench for me

    Go on then, I'm listening.

    How does Stevenage being better equipped for league 2 football than Leicester City's academy equate to Stevenage being one of the favourites for the FA Cup?

    Take your time though, I'm off to grab a beer and some popcorn.

    Sounds daft but could East sit in the middle of the three at 10 for the last 20 mins or so? He can certainly thread a pass .

    The odds will be that some won't even be as high as that.
