Decent line up. I know I said I didn't want any chances of an embarrassing night, but that's probably a decent mix of experience and youth. I'd assume it'll be kids off the bench first, unless there is a catastrophic implosion from us.

I'm excited to see Kellyman get a run out. Seemed promising in preseason and with the u21s.

Absolutely. Centre back partnerships take time to gel. The more time they play together, the sooner we'll see a return to the kind of partnership we saw finish last season.

I doubt it makes any difference, there was absolutely no need to include him tonight, even if he was fully fit.

I like th emix of that team and hope this is a sign of the sort of setup we'll see in the early rounds of the Carabao cup as well.

Duran has something of the Villa version of Benteke about him

He has a contagious sort of youthful abandon and spirit about him. I don't think it's enough to stand up the the PL on a regular basis, but it is very hard not to like.

It's as good a game as we'll get to test them without any real pressure. It's scrappy and inconsequential but I'd assume we still had a game plan and they'd have individual instructions to follow, and if they can do that then they'll get more chances.

I think he's been ok tonight, a couple of ropey moments but he's dealt with everything they've put into the box, I think because he's had poor games in the past we can get a bit hyper-critical of any mistakes now, even if they're pretty minor.
