View from the Gwladys Street: What next for Tom Davies and Leighton Baines, explaining the Goodison atmosphere and reacting to the big Marce

The View from the Gwladys Street podcast returns with stand-in host Paul Wheelock being joined by Evertonians Rob Astell, Max Carlyle and Tom Clarke.
The quartet discuss the FA Cup win over Lincoln City and whether the reaction to the goal that halved the deficit, and which made for at times an uncomfortable afternoon, shows there is a mental fragility in the squad.
Penny for the thoughts of Tom Davies after he, along with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, was taken off at half-time. But is a player all Blues fans are desperate to do well being played out of position?
Another question is whether Marco Silva should find a place in his team for Leighton Baines after the fan favourite returned to the starting line-up at the weekend in such impressive fashion. Could it be time to follow up on Roberto Martinez’s brief experiment?
Everton may need reinforcements in midfield sooner than expected if, as the rumours suggest, Paris Saint-Germain make a move for Idrissa Gueye. If that happens, should Silva and Marcel Brands be tempted to sell? And would it be hard to begrudge Gana the transfer?
The FA Cup fourth-tie at Millwall is sure to be an intimidating one but sadly Goodison Park has not been at its bear-pit best for some time now and Rob, Max, Tom and Paul try to explain why that is the case. Is it down to the players? Is it down to television kick-off times? Or is it a wider problem for top-flight football?
Talk then turns to Sunday’s visit of Bournemouth before the panel discuss the big breaking news regarding Brands that emerged while the podcast was being recorded.
