I think it's safe to say Williams is not a cup manager.

I've sid for a while now the squad isn't as good as Williams thinks it is.

Some of our cup performances and results are a ****ing embarrasment.

Is there anyway we can get out of entering these things if we arn't going to take them seriously?

That side out tonight should be good enough to beat Derby u21's.

I love how factually incorrect your last statement is about our opponents. Derby started with one player who was 21. The other 10 all older. That 21 year old being Eiran Cashin has 70 plus appearances for Derby.
Vickers - 27 - lots of L1/L2 experience
Wilson - 23 - same as Vickers
Bradley - 32 - 6 derby apps this season after 163 with Luton (most in the Championship)
Forsyth - 34 - 269 apps for Derby
Hourihane - 32 - 55 apps for Derby since 2022. Premier League and international experience
Fornah - 24 - 7 apps for Derby - 35 for Reading last season
Sibley - 22 - 114 apps for Derby
Bird - 23 - 145 apps for Derby
Barkhuizen - 30 - 46 apps for Derby since 2022. 199 with Preston
Collins - 32 - 53 apps for Derby since 2022 - 210 apps with Cardiff and Luton - full international.

So I think you should stay off the whiskey… stop being soooo angry at the world. Take last night for what it was. OUR back up players playing against established Championship/L1 players.
We have much bigger fish to fry on Saturday

I wouldn’t give him the airtime. Not a cup manger 😂😂 but got us through the play offs 😂

If Williams remains very much a league and playoffs manager and not a cup manager then I for one will be absolutely delighted.

Everybody knows the league is what matters most.

It's cruel to rain on someone's parade. Best he be left stewing in his own ignorance.

This is one of my favourite LW interviews of all time.

I can't remember a time where the club's strategy was so coherent, so specific, and the the club so well aligned with it.
