Stevens' form is a bit of a concern, yeah. He's made good saves in just about every game but unquestionably should have done better with a few of the goals that have gone in recently.

I would like to see Mannion get a go. Stevens is making far too many mistakes recentley and Harris was getting frustrated with his kicking yesterday. Don't see much between the 2 really. Yes, noticed the reaction from Harris as well, someone also shouted 'ffs sort yourself out Stevens' and Harris nodded, made us chuckle in an otherwise crap afternoon. Stevens starting to look poor though, wouldn't be surprised to see Manion get a game.

He has been recently, yeah. Mitov made errors & was far from perfect but it was pretty rare for shots to just go straight through him.

Stevens starting to look poor though, wouldn't be surprised to see Manion get a game. Was he really any worse than Mitov last year? IMO yes. Mitov made the odd error particularly from Crosses but Stevens has made a few howlers recentley. Yesterday's second is incredibly poor from a league 1 keeper. You could argue he was poor for goals against Boro, Northampton, Charlton & Oxford in recent games also. Mannion has made one error yes against Barnsley at home but has far from let us down over time.

Mannion will surely play at Blackburn regardless of Steven’s form?

He's been looking steadily worse since Boro imo, still has some good saves in him, but overall he's in poor form.

Got to keep your reserve keeper, and in this case one we totally trust, match ready. I don’t agree with extensive rotation for cup games, but I reckon a keeper is a special case.

Don't think we're big-time enough to have a cup keeper. We should be doing our utmost to be at the very least drawing this game, and I want us to field our strongest possible team to do so. If Harris thinks now's the time to give Mannion a run, that's fine, but if he comes in just for this game I think that's a bit iffy.

I remarked at the time that Stevens completely and mentally lost his head at Boro and I was worried it would be the undoing of him, especially as Oxford fans said he took a long time to get over mistakes.
I hope Mannion plays and Harris offers it as a showcase to keep the no.1 shirt.

I am so tempted to make the journey with my son on Saturday. Normally I coach kids football on Saturdays but I’m expecting most roots football to be cancelled this weekend due to the pitches being battered by the weather. No easy route to Blackburn though. After seeing us play yesterday I’m on the fence whether taking my son all the way to Blackburn to watch the team play without a striker could be grounds to get me reported to social services for bad parenting lol
