Went tonight and it wasn't pretty, we just couldn't get a clean strike on goal. Some players didn't do themselves good for a 1st team start, actually some of the regulars didn't either.
Not too fussed about losing, it's the way we lost whats disturbing.
TS will be thinking " that's another pot of £££ down the drain.
Can't disagree with that.Warney played squad players who needed game time and these players will be asked to fill roles in the first team later in the season.We looked very comfortable in the first half but with no killer edge up front.Bramall,High,Eaves,Norton- Cuffy all needed game time as did McCart and I thought he looked very good alongside Peltier.We have some very good central defenders in the squad now.We just need that fox in the box and I think we'll be alright.
I dont get this strange view that if we progress in the cup and win a game of football it could impact our ability to do well in the league. Winning games is good no matter what the competition, you only have to look at last season, so many on here said it was a waste of time, but we had a great day out at wembley earned some money, won a trophy and the players have a memory of that day. Not saying we will win the League cup but getting to the middle rounds and playing against better teams later on cannot be a bad thing. There is no way you will convince me that our manager is glad we are out or doesnt care about the competition, he saw the cup as an opportunity to see more in a real game from his fringe players, that is very valuable to him. We don't know whether there will be a positive or negative impact by this result on our league results, but we will see more on Saturday, let us hope that we get a positive reaction. Regarding Bramall, I haven't seen anything from him yet that makes me think we have a good player, but I didn't see him tonight and I hope he just needs time to settle in and his talent will come through.
MillerBill, I see Washington as our fox in the box, it’s the partnership from Eaves, Kelly or Kayode that will be questionable in my opinion. Chio is not the answer to partner Washington and although he’s already scored crucial goals for us. He’s our magic wide player who teams will put two or three on him that will allow Washington more open space to play from.
