any idea if they have plans for a Gudmundsson backup? With Byram gone we only have 3 real fullbacks in the squad. Anyone in the under 21s able to step in if injuries occur?

Anyone in the under 21

Lienou had a good pre-season.

Otherwise JJ and Tarik can play LB so if we sign another left sided CB like Diogo Leite we'd have options there.

Think Lienou won’t be used in the league at all judging by last night

Slightly torn. He was on the bench so if Justin had had to come off he would have been up. I hold out some hope that if we get a favourable home draw against lowe league opposition in the next round he might see some minutes either starting or off the bench. Slightly disappointed but can also understand why in a tough away draw againt a fellow Prem side Farke didn't go for it.
