Wilder has never said he's surplus to requirements.Isn’t Watmore supposed to be surplus to requirements so why start him over Akpom? I don’t get it.

I love knitting it's more entertaining than watching the Boro at the moment. Looking to knit one and pearl one after Sundays game.Bedwetters! If you can’t work out his selection you should stay at home and start knitting!
I have to be honest, and I apologise for swearing, but I absolutely f*cking hate it when Boro managers pick teams of kids for cup games. Blooding one or two, one or two on the bench, no problem. But leaving out the core of the first team tonight or any night is just not on for me. I hope the chairman b*llocks him for it.
I always remember McClaren saying that after he played the kids one year at Ipswich and we lost 3-0 or 3-1, and we got a good pasting, the chairman phoned him and said “we don’t do that at Boro, we’re a cup team.”
It also flies in the face of what Wilder said about the cups when he took the job. Chucking games of football away, I can’t get my head around it. We need to find fitness, form, sharpness and confidence.
He’s piled the pressure on ahead of Sunday now, and I’ve little or no sympathy TBH.
That’s not to mention the potential revenue he’s just pished away.I have to be honest, and I apologise for swearing, but I absolutely f*cking hate it when Boro managers pick teams of kids for cup games.

Yeah there’s nothing better then going out of a cup at home to lower-league opposition. Again.best result we could have had.
dont worry about it.
It means we’ve been knocked out of a cup to lower-league opposition. Again. How many times in the past 4 or 5 years is that now?Did I imagine us buying a new striker today then.
No Jones no Giles no howson etc that wasn’t our main team.
So tonight’s result means nothing.
So you’d have played the first team and risked injury to beat Barnsley??It means we’ve been knocked out of a cup to lower-league opposition. Again. How many times in the past 4 or 5 years is that now?
I can’t get my head around the idea that there are Boro supporters apparently rejoicing in this, in this defeat. It’s mad.
You shouldn’t be making excuses for it.
Thank f*ck Sir Lennie Lawrence never felt the same way as some Boro supporters do. He had the thinnest squad of them all and tried to win all FOUR competitions we were in. That’s what the Boro are about.
We’d have taken 4,000 or so and had a massive night there. Good chance of knocking them out as well. But, y’know, fixture congestion and focusing on the league and that. In August.Would have faced Leeds away in the next round.
Yes I’d always prefer the manager to pick the strongest team. There’s space for a youngster or two and one or two on the bench but the aim is to progress in the cups and win every game. This idea we can or should pick and choose, I’m not having it. It’s not for me and never has been.So you’d have played the first team and risked injury to beat Barnsley??
I think that’s the issue now as some of our fans see it more about their own night out than the progression of the club.had a massive night there.
Great idea. Giles or jones gets injured and we say goodbye to top 6Yes I’d always prefer the manager to pick the strongest team.
