TUESDAY NIGHT CARLING CUP ACTION
Jon-Paul Pittman pounces for third match running
JPP is a striker who has found his rhythm, taking his tally to four goals in three games after netting a brace in Wycombes 2-2 draw with Northampton. The Chairboys went out 3-0 on penalties.
It was JPP's penalty that drew Wycombe level, and his 92nd minute downward header that sent the tie into extra-time.
JPP had spoken to Chairboys Player on Saturday afternoon, after his stunning 80th minute strike earned the Blues their first three points of the season against Bristol Rovers.
Pittman's next test comes on Saturday, with a trip to Brighton.

"It's up there with my best goals" JPP said. "It was a very important goal and it's always nice to score.He duly did last night, although it's a shame Wycombe are out of the Carling Cup, because on this form Pittman would be relishing the chance to play against tougher opposition.
"We needed those three points and everyone is buzzing. We've worked really hard this week, not that we don't normally, but we've tried to work on a few things and I felt that we were more positive.
"In training you try and work on taking as few touches as possible around the penalty area and luckily it came off for me. I was struggling with a cold earlier in the week but I'm over that now and I just want to get out there and score more goals."
Pittman's next test comes on Saturday, with a trip to Brighton.
TUESDAY NIGHT RESERVE TEAM ACTION
Eric Lichaj wrote another chapter into his successful reserve team story, helping Aston Villa beat West Ham 2-1. Villa have won their first two games of the season, as they defend their Barclays Reserve Southern League title.
Cody Arnoux came on as a half-time substitute for Everton Reserves, but could do little to help as they went down 4-1 to Manchester City. Fellow American Anton Peterlin was named but unused.
