It's been good to see players on the fringes and coming through the ranks justify their existence further, and move forward, with results and goals, We have, arguably, a PL surviving squad, in ability and experience, as opposed to just a team.
These 3 cup games have given Potter a good idea of who is good enough to beat Portsmouth, who is good enough to beat Preston and who is and isnt good enough to compete with Man Utd (and other decent PL teams).
Some very quiet contributions from quite a few tonight.
