TrickY tie for Blues on Tuesday, United had the long drive to Carlisle to get a 0-0 draw with their young GK Shamal George keeping them in the game, Blues should also keep an eye on young Fulham loan striker Sylvester Jasper who is really rapid and last season scored 8 in 18 for the Cottagers U23's .
Hayden Mullins is there gaffer and has ex Watford winger Alex Dyer as assistant.
So no walk in the park for Blues but I would hope for a cup run of some sort.

Defense looks dodgy though. Just shows how bare our cover is, you can see why they might be signing Dann.

Defence is going to have a tough game.
Jobe on the bench.

Thoughts from the game yesterday...
Start with the negatives :
I thought Sunjic was awful and think he is one of the 'senior players' LB was referring to at the end of the game, people have made a lot of excuses for him since he joined but he just isnt the player we thought he would be. He loses possession so much its actually a joke stray passes straight to their forwards.
George Friend had a shocker
Graham gave the ball away an awful lot and was very dissapointing
Castillo looked lost OK going forward but doesnt look like a defender
Lekos touch is crap and if he doesnt ever score a competitive goal i wouldnt be suprised
Aneke held the ball up well at times but didnt show too much
Lakin was just OK... As LB said these lads should be giving him something to think about and they didnt.
Positives were :
Nico gordon had a good game until he came off
Thought Oakley was ok also
LB's honesty after the game
KRO

Sanchez wasnt in the game as much as i would have liked. He did show his class once or twice but nowhere near often enough.
I think he is one of them players that needs good players around him - that 1/2 touch football and other players making runs opening space for him to run into ect but it was often he had the ball with no options and facing 2 defenders so i wont be too harsh
If i am been honest though I wouldnt be dissapointed to see any of them in that team leave (bar sanchez)
Riley Mcgree also came on near the end and did look bright but wouldnt have been hard to stand out yesterday we were shocking

Castillo looked poor in defence on Saturday I thought. Okay he might have been played out of position but still. Also seen a few people who watched the friendlies comment he looked better going forward.
Disappointed tour midfield and strikers didn't show much,
