Grey Hunter's next target.

1-1 at the half with Huddersfield on 10 men after their left back last man fouled Isaiah Jones. The Huddersfield goal was an early disastrous playing out from the back error by Boro's Rav Van den Berg but winger Sammy Silvera equalized several minutes after the red card. Last 20 mins have sounded pretty poor lots of choppy play and set pieces.

Wrexham Wigan was an awful match, but at least we got to enjoy a penalty shootout. Wigan decided to launch two of theirs into orbit, so Wrexham win.

crossposting from the EFL thread because i'm a dummy

like 6 championship sides got knocked out by lower league sides last night, and 9/11 (lol) L2 sides going through knocked out clubs in L1 or higher. hell yeah.

millwall (C) 0-4 (L1) reading
gillingham (L2) 3-1 (C) southampton
hull (C) 1-2 (L2) doncaster

in penalties:

crewe (L2) beat sunderland (C) 5-3
stevenage (L1) beat wateford (C) 4-3
salford (L2) beat PNE (C) 4-2

but most importantly sutton (L2) are loving massive (cambridge are L1)

quote:

Fulham are down to 10 men because there's a problem with Kenny Tete's boot. The Cottagers defender runs round the pitch with his boot in his hand and then down the tunnel.

Where's the kitman?

Richarlison heads in from a tight angle while Tete is out of the picture.

This Salford Leeds match has been great fun - Leeds absolutely dominating the second half but only managed to score after a Salford make a complete hash of defending a free kick, and every time Salford get a slight chance of a break they look dangerous
