 Welcome to Toffy TV, here is the Everton News daily. Michael Silver has revealed why Tom Davis wasn't in the squad last night and he said it was a tactical reason to leave Tom out. A lot of people, including myself, expect that Tom Davis to start the game last night. But Michael Silver revealed that it was a tactical decision to leave him out of the squad, which is obviously four debitons starting the game. But it does make you wonder where that leaves Tom Davis in the Pekanode this season. We've seen very little of him on the pitch, where a lot of fans would have expected to see a lot more of him. He signed a five-year contract as well, which shows, or certainly we thought showed, where the player was going and what the management thought of the player. To leave him out of a cup game where you would be expecting a player to be getting minutes is very damning. Now, I don't know where this leaves Tom Davis. For all we know, Tom Davis might be involved from the start on Sunday against Wolves, but I don't know. I don't know. I suppose for Tom Davis he's just got to get his head down, keep working hard. But the manager clearly doesn't see him as a first team at this moment. When, interestingly, this time last year, Tom Davis was captain in the side and starting games in the Premier League until the emergence of Andre Gomez. So, Andre Gomez, of course, was a sub last night as well. But we've got a lot of midfielders of a certain type. Tom strikes me as a player who's slightly different than some of those players. OK, he might be as good as some of those players, but he strikes me as some of the difference. And you just wonder whether the purchase of a Wolby could be the sign that Tom Davis could be really struggling for first team football this season in Evans. So, interesting, we'll see how it goes. A lot of games left to play, things can change very, very quickly, as we've already seen. But it must have been very, very disappointing for Tom last night. But it shows that the manager's got a ruthless streak and he's prepared to take measures and where people question the manager on certain things. You know, which he can be questioned at. You know, he is a ruthless manager and if plays an apple in the way whether it's in training or when they get opportunities, they'll be left out the squad. Especially as the squad attempts to get bigger and better going forward. So, a disappointing news for Tom Davis there. Another young midfielder has left Evans Football Club today. Callum Connelly has gone on loan to Lincoln City who we played last night. Don't know whether the deal was done last night, but he's gone on loan for the rest of the season. And he's seen, you know, I think that's pretty much the end of his career at Evans Football Club. He's been at Evans for a long time and never really made his mark on the first team. So another opportunity for him to get experience, but I think he'll be taking that experience and using it somewhere else. Long term, I don't really see him as an Everton player. So, but good chance for him to go away, play for the decent side. He looked like he were decent side last night. And yeah, get game time. Obviously following the win last night, we got the draw. I never know, obviously play Sheffield Wednesday, which is an interesting tie because Dave started the season quite well after the departure of Steve Bruce. Where we'll find in around the month of time, we'll have to wait and see. But a good tie, good away draw, not too far away to travel. And it should be a good game of football. And obviously we have avoided another Premier League club. And it would have been nice to get a home draw, but it wasn't to be. Yeah, I mean, there's not really much going on today. The manager's press conference for the Walls game is tomorrow, I believe. So we'll have more on all the news surrounding that, whether there's any more injuries or Tom Davis or et cetera. Also, the possibilities of any other young players going out on loan. I believe Benny Benningamy was supposed to be leaving on loan, but that hasn't quite materialised. I'm going to have to see if there's anything in him leaving the club or any of the other young players. Even Kevin Morales, there's pictures today of Kevin Morales in an airport. So has he made a trip somewhere to make a move? We'll have to wait and see. The transfer window shuts early next week. So I'm sure the manager will have more news on that. The manager, obviously, sent all the players over to the fans last night to give them the share as well, which was a really, really nice touch from the manager as well, for all the people who travelled there.
